Random fact: when Matchbox was developing that toy, they originally intended it to transform, which is why the leg, some hinges, and the legs are able to move downwards. My memory is kind of rusty but since Hasbro was using the 1/55 VF-1 Valkyrie mold borrowed by Bandai/Matsushiro, for release in the US, Matchbox was not able to go ahead with making their VF-1 Veritech transformable.
I always wondered about that Shin. My store has a loose one for 20 bucks and before I asked, my comic guy said it does not transform :(
I thought it did........and I never had one as a kid so I did not know.
