Morpher

Original MSRP: 9.99

Adam reviewed the regular version of this toy years ago so there’s not much new to say about the toy itself.

The packaging, however, is pretty awesome.

Toynami has always done a great job at packaging, and this is no exception.

The Toynami  SD Chrome Morpher was a Previews exclusive item back when that meant something. This is the same as the regular release, except it is covered in a cool chrome coating. Several limited chrome editions were released to different retailers, each with a different variation.

This toy was “limited” to a run of 5,000 pieces, which isn’t really limited.

The toy comes packaged in a beautiful tin box with printing on all sides, both inside and out.

The battle scene depicts various Super Deformed versions of Robotech fighters flying around. The art is really great.

The toy is not a re-mold of the classic Paro Valkyrie toys, but is clearly inspired by it. The transformation is simple with only a fighter and battroid mode.

A gun is included, and for added play value you get a pullback motor.

I get easily distracted by shiny things.
