Toynami Announces SDCC 2015 Exclusives

Robotech GBP-1 - Stealth Fighter - Heavy Armor
In honor of Robotech’s 30th Anniversary, Toynami is excited to present the Heavy Armor GBP-1 Stealth Fighter 1:100 Scale figure. It is fully articulated just like the classic 1:100 transformables, and can be converted into Fighter, Battloid or Gerwalk modes. The Armored Veritech GBP-1S system allows a single VF-1 fighter to wield the artillery firepower of an entire squadron. The armor is able to withstand several withering barrages from enemy fire, but prevents the Veritech from transforming into fighter mode, and must be jettisoned if the pilot needs maneuverability. *Heavy Armor accessories can only be used in Battloid mode.
•             Retail Price: $99
•             Limited to 1000 pieces
•             Size: 6” Tall
•             Available at: Toynami Booth #3229
