    No, not at all. I was quietly thinking the same thing myself. Shawn mentioned a few pages ago about preferring Hikaru having a black heat shield instead of a bright red one, which was caused by a couple of animation anomalies in DYRL. When someone replicated that with the DX for Shawn, I was thinking, hmmm.....that doesn't look too bad and I was trying to figure out why I found it aesthetically pleasing. I guessed it was because maybe one less block of bright colors gave it a more real-world look? I mean in current military aircraft, bright flashy colors aren't often seen anymore. Now we have the DX Roy, which already has the black heat shield, then add the tiniest of details - the head arrows in black instead of bright yellow. Ok, I know, these are transforming toys that have three modes, and are nowhere near a depiction of real-world aircraft, but toy makers over the years are adding more and more details to these things in an effort to make them more realistic. My mind is drifting here...where was I going with this......anyway, I love the DYRL Hikaru, and at first, I didn't like it when it was revealed that the Roy head unit was more cartoony (smoother lines like in SDFM, black head arrows etc), but the more I think about it, the more I think it reduces the cartoony effect...in my opinion. Looking at all these factors, I find the Roy looks better (to me at lease) than the DYRL Hikaru. That being said, I would still prefer a DYRL Roy pilot figure, and I doubt I will ever mount the ballon hands.

    This guy here right?

    Yeah, that was definitely just a movie thing, something strangely missing from the Hikki 1S and the Kakizaki 1A.

    Hahahahaha, AWESOME. Sorry if I came across as an @$$. Those leg fins do flop out of position quite easily.

    $400?!? That is ridonkulous....do you live somewhere remote or something?

    I'm actually glad to hear that the differences are hardly noticeable because I really wanted the DYRL version but ordered the SDFM version. I still might flip it if they release a DYRL version though.

    Wow, nicely done. I think it could still be tweaked, but it definitely adds some impact to the original scene.

    Nice pic! Those damn leg fins though

    Lol! For my LE/MIL pals here.

    I like the black as well. On the DX, it gives it a less cartooony look maybe, I can't really place it, but I like it.

    And gone.....

    I had this toy when I was a kid and the Valk's left hand always looked weird to me. It just looks like a pair of tongs, lol!

    I love this guy's channel. My kid and I say the same thing to the wife, that this is not the same, lol!

    Bloody hell, the more I look at the difference, the more I can't unsee them. This is going to bug the hell out of me. The TV version does look more derpy. Throw the TV hands on the thing and it's starting to look outright clownish, lol! I'm going to flip the TV version if/when a DYRL version is released.

    I have been a Macross fan for more than 30 years, and I only found out today that there is actually a difference between SDFM and DYRL 1S heads. Not going to lie, I prefer the sharper lines of the DYRL version.

    Sort of want. Did Yammie eve release a 1D in 1/48? If I can get this for MSRP on the TWE, I'm in.

    Depends on the angle I guess: In this angle, the canopy does not come in contact with the chest plate. The toy appears to touch from the above angle

    I don't like NY, I loathe their very existence. That being said, I hope they deliver what they promised to those that they owe.
