holytoledo69 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Wow. Looks like the biggest difference between the v.1 and v.2 is hip placement. It's the high hip placement on the v.1 that makes it look chunky. Pete Hip placement is the same its just the bottom torso slides up ala-VF-0 (just a tad).
holytoledo69 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I think the biggest difference is the color. I have both and put them side by side. The v.2 VF-1D is basically "day-glo" and the v.1 is more "normal colored". I had the lights off in my collection space and walked by and could only see one thing, that V.2 VF-1D. It is just super duper bright. The second biggest thing IMO is that the V.1 is floppy as hell with extremely limited poseability while the V.2 is ultra tight with extreme poseability. I dont mind the colors at all. Also.. remember the V1 had diecast legs. No amount of joint tightness would keep those legs from being loose.
Agent-GHQ Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I noticed that thing that exposed on the chest does not show much on the VF-1D compared to other VF-1s???
DarrinG Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I have not opened my 1J or 1S yet - only the 1D. But I will be painting the gray bases around the necks white on the 1J and 1S for sure. The gray makes its look like the head is floating off the body. Why is this gray? And they should have used the more military subdued white of the 1S on the 1J and upcoming TV 1 As. I do not like the look of the bright white in the photos I've seen. -- I should put praise though anytime I post about the v.2s - these things are miracles of quality and solid design. --
DarrinG Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Just a quick Photoshopping with the white subdued and the neck base white instead of gray - like this much better.
logos Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Personally I like the bright white of the 1J just seems right for that one. Anyway this is a thread for the 1D and in ansewr to Agent-GHQ's question. I think that the chest on the 1d is larger because of the larger heat shield and slightly larger cockpit. 1 thing I have noticed is that no camera seems to capture the orange on the 1D properly. It's not as dark as that and a couple more pics. Edited March 3, 2009 by logos
eugimon Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I love that hikaru has is aiming at the AC vent like he's expecting something bad to fall out of it at any moment.
OmegaD3k Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) (with the VF-1J's super pack, mid pic is a close up shot of the head and upper chest, third pic is proof that I fail at posing things. XD) Just got mine from Over-Drive-Inc. My first purchase there. Great communication, very fast delivery, great service. Edited March 3, 2009 by OmegaD3k

Yeah the mice that are lurking up there tempted by the probably 30 traps in the ceiling. Note shop doors being left open in the winter is a BAD idea. Live with the diesel fumes you'll feel less squeamish later when you don't have to empty the traps.

Can you post a pic or two of the VF-1D with TV super parts in Fighter mode?
505thAirborne Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 We some good old shots of this VF-1D in Fighter mode!! Anyone lucky enough to own one of these, feel free to post!!

Being in an agricultural R&D shop where you aren't only manufacturing and testing equipment but storing your testing seed and fertilizer sucks some days. But getting to work with giant pieces of machinery can't be passed up either. Nothing makes you grin like watching an 60 or 84 foot wide tool bar curl up into something you can transport on a highway ......did I mention I love big machines?
m0n5t3r Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 all these pics of the new 1D are really making me antsy about getting mine! ... 10 more days to go, arghhhh!
EXO Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 havent gotten around to getting one... went to F&S and they didnt have any... do want so bad! hehe... mini priest collar on the 1D... still visible.

logos Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 LOL... WTF is that poor thing in the back (circled in red)... I've been hating the Maple Leafs lately so my 1/100 toniami with a Leafs jersey took the brunt of it. 41 years without the cup......could be worse I could be a Montreal Canadians fan.
Dobber Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I'm still waiting for Overdrive to cancel my 1/100 VF-25G pre-order. Soon as i get the money back, via paypal, I'm going to buy this. Anyone know how long it takes for Overdrive to cancel and refund? Chris
logos Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I've done it once but that was with a credit card. Took about a week I think.
SVF-Gerwalk Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) This Valkyrie is a must have, I love the new sculp of V2s, my 1D are in Customs since yesterday I´ll post pics soon Edited March 4, 2009 by SVF-Gerwalk
ron5864 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 My VF-1D with super/strike parts should be arriving any day now....tick...tick...tick Just be patient...
VFTF1 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 My 1D should land in my loving hands sometime at the beginning of April. Will be happy to have it ...er...well..them Pete
Vostok 7 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 My VF-1D with super/strike parts should be arriving any day now....tick...tick...tick Just be patient... 1/60 Super/Strike parts are on sale at HLJ. Didn't know they were even available. My wife will want to have words with you later Vostok 7

miriya Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Ask and you shall receive. Thank you! Looks awesome. I need to get me some Fast packs for mine. I am going to go with the TV version super parts though.
m0n5t3r Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 yeah, i think the TV SPs will definitely look better on the 1D.
logos Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) What ever you do just buy a valk with the super packs that you want and put them on the D. The price for the super packs by themselves are a bit of a rip off IMO. But if the only vf-1d 1/60 you want is this one go ahead and buy them separately then. Oh and that little gap on the hip compartment on the nose?......... the joint is broken on the hip cover. Plastic is broken at the joint. It came like that and I just noticed that the broken joint was causing the problem today...................ugh at least my J is a work of art. Well off to Overdrive I go. Edit: I'll try to take a pic tomorrow with a camera that has a good macro lens. Edited March 4, 2009 by logos
m0n5t3r Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) just got confirmation that my 2 1Ds have been purchased... just need to wait for it to be hand delivered from HK... @logos - wouldn't it be great if you ordered that replacement part for the cover and they gave you the whole detachable fuselage/cockpit part (just like ordering the shoulder hinge and getting the whole arm w/ it)... you can have the 1S w/ the 1D fuselage/cockpit on it's arm w/out having to get it from your 1D...

SHHHH! That's what I am secrectly hoping for! Just got an email from OD and they said that they would look into getting the replacement part. If it's like the replacement shoulders where you got arms I might be in luck! Still a little peeved that it shipped broke but considering the good service I got from OD on the 1S shoulders i'm not complaining too much. Edited March 5, 2009 by logos
Alain Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 just got confirmation that my 2 1Ds have been purchased... just need to wait for it to be hand delivered from HK... 2 VF-1Ds? thats great Mon! looking forward to your pics of your poses of these If only I know somebody who frequent there, big savings for the shipping
m0n5t3r Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 thanks, man... i already have a couple of ideas for cool poses...
sidearmsalpha Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Wish they had included some regular pilots with the VF-1D. I think it would look better with the armor parts.
