looks good so far, at least the knees can bend. but the stand will probably be necessary, else the crotch lock probably can hold the weight.

Heh.... 1/48 VF-25? great! Hopefully transformable though!!

You've gotta post it in the Toys section once it is done!

we need the launch arms!..... at a cheap price of cause!

I second the grey plastic portion. So far all the grey plastic based VFs don't really have a problem with yellowing, or least it is not apparent.

Great pose!

true that the TRU CF and the regular release CF had a color difference, but it might simply be just to differentiate between the 2.

if the shop owners really bought back the V1s, I seriously think that it is a VERY bad investment... unless they got it at dirt cheap prices, but then their pricing is pretty much the retail prices when they were 1st released, if not more expensive!

the sale is now over....just less than a day....

Just to echo most of the replies here:No the Vf-1 V1s will not appreciate in value. Instead, the value has already dropped and will probably continue to drop. The only scenario where teh value could be maintained is where the rare variant(s) isn't released in the newer forms. However, we all know that all the versions that came out for the V1s will be released in V2.... and more! So....nope, no chance of them appreciating again. having said that, I won't be selling them away, for the simple reason that nobody wants them anymore( unless they have been living under a rock for the past year or so) and more importantly, I can't get a good price for them. Probably will save them for my kids in future so that they will (hopefully!!) leave my newer collection alone. otherwise, i can always use them for experiments..... just like this one! Look at how white it is now! thanks to the magical H2O2 added a "before" pic to compare the 1/60 v1's color difference edit: added pic

Heh...i'm sure it will be out sooner or later.... but in this case, we are talking about totally new moulds..

actually i believe that both the VF 1A and 1 J will have the same shades of brown....makes no sense to have it different.

Hm.... seriously, i wouldn't mind a whale hunter custom.... as for the VT-1C.... as long as the nose cone uses the VT-1 sculpt, I'll take it too.

He said "all new" so its nothing that we have seen so far from yamato

it is indeed convenient, but not really a must have, so, dun really miss it.

Eh? are you talking about the individual missiles or the missile pod? Well, the individual missiles cannot be removed, but look on the bright side, you won't have to worry about missing them! (pic from Gamu Toys)

you need to find a way to mass produce these things....and also make it in 1/60 scale besides 1/48.... I'll bet that you can make a pretty penny out of it here..... as long as it is not too expensive of course!

Yep, there are standalone Fast Packs already available since the release of the Hikaru 1J. See Here Couldn't resist this quote Syndrome: "..... And when everyone's super..... no one will be"

Welcome! Basically, yeah, gotta use more force to pull them out. Good to know that your VF-1 V2 shoulders are not showing signs of osteoporisis, but if they do fracture, just a bit of epoxy will cure it

Guess its gonna be bandai display stands for me still....and i can get them for probably 1/2 the price too!

True... but that is only until we are caught right in the middle of actually experiencing 1st hand the reality. Would probably wish otherwise then. Anyway, Graham, how are things at Metro Park hotel? After seeing the coverage on the local news, basically the occupants seem more like under house arrest than anything else, and seems that some have slipped out( or is is they were out before quarantine started and decided not to after the quarantine *cough* house arrest*cough* started?)? Darn... would really suck to be those people right now.... paying so much for a trip only to be cooped up in the the hotel....
