I got my hikaru VF-1J a couple days ago, it is pretty nice compared to the first series. Not as wobbly and doesnt fall apart as easily, also the stand is kinda sturdier though I guess time will tell if this one breaks too. Theres nothing wrong with the neck size, it actually makes it look more human to me with a long neck. I'm hoping for series 3 (if toynami makes one) that they release a CF, VF-1D, and angel birds.
