southpaw Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Was there a review comparison between ver 2. vs ver 1. I tried looking wasn't able to find video or pic comparison. Thanks Quote
jenius Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I put this together a while back.... it's been pointed out that I scored the old releases pretty high compared to the newer ones but if you click the individual links you should be able to get the big picture. Sorry, I didn't bother with a straight v1 vs v2 comparison. http://anymoon.com/blog/2008/09/22/vf-1-to...omparison-post/ Quote
Wicked Ace Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 For the as-appears-on-screen conscious collectors, the first version of the 1/60 scale VF-1S is preferable. Quote

mickyg Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 For the as-appears-on-screen conscious collectors, the first version of the 1/60 scale VF-1S is preferable. LOL for real here! Southpaw - the head sculpt on the v1 1/60 is atrocious. I think you'll get that if you have a look at Jenius' excellent review he linked to. Jenius, those reviews of yours are amazing and very much appreciated! Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 For the as-appears-on-screen conscious collectors, the first version of the 1/60 scale VF-1S is preferable. It never gets old... :lol: Quote
Wicked Ace Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 It never gets old... :lol: Funny thing is I have one of these monstrosities but haven't got around to buying any of the version 2 VF-1 Valkyries. Quote
treatment Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) Funny thing is I have one of these monstrosities but haven't got around to buying any of the version 2 VF-1 Valkyries. hehehe! better retire it already since you are aware that the real 1/60 Max-1S is still part of the HLJ-sale, right? http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00128 Edited December 23, 2009 by treatment Quote

Sorry, I didn't bother with a straight v1 vs v2 comparison. http://anymoon.com/blog/2008/09/22/vf-1-to...omparison-post/ I must say that jenius did a great job to point out the difference between V1 and V2. V1 was amazing when it first came out 10 years ago, my jaw drops when I first seen the pictures because finally after 15 years there is someone really care about VF-1 and did a great toy out of it. Still remember the prototype pictures when it first came out? The 2nd generation 1/48 VF-1 is much more superior in term of size, transformation and proportion. Then last year we have the best VF-1 toy, V2 announced, and it's by far the best toy representative of VF-1 except size. It's far more superior than 1/48 with the latest technology put into it. Here are the comparison of 1/48 and V2. http://www.yamato-toys.com/dev/cont_049/index.html Quote

You pretty much covered everything Jenius. Thanks again. Quote
Hoptimus Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Not to cause too much necromancy but I never got a 1/60 v2. Seems like if I don't transform mine much at all and currently am happy with my Yamato VF-1 V1 Max and Milia then I don't need a V2? Quote

You don't know what you are missing from V1 even in fighter mode if you never owned one. Check it out from anymoon. Quote

Seems like if I don't transform mine much at all and currently am happy with my Yamato VF-1 V1 Max and Milia then I don't need a V2? WTH are you waiting for?!? The v1's are crap compared to the v2. Wait until HLJ's next sale. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Not to cause too much necromancy but I never got a 1/60 v2. Seems like if I don't transform mine much at all and currently am happy with my Yamato VF-1 V1 Max and Milia then I don't need a V2? I was like you too. Then in July I picked up the VF-1D and got hooked. So many accessories gimmicks and detail. I have 9 V2's now since July. HLJ sales have helped. Quote
Hoptimus Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 LOL! Ahh. Did they make a Max VF-1A TV version in the 1/60 v2? Then I would get one. Quote
kanedaestes Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 They did, they made the whole tv vermillion sqaud as well as TV Focker. Also one of my current "unicorns", the Zentradi Uniform to fit over the valk like Max wore. If anyone who happened to snag one is thinking of let it go PM ME NOW! Quote
Hoptimus Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Yeah I just checked. Dangit. I need a Tread/Legioss combo first. Then maybe I will get a Max TV VF-1A. Quote
FockersGuitar Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Yeah I just checked. Dangit. I need a Tread/Legioss combo first. Then maybe I will get a Max TV VF-1A. HK Collectibles has the the v2 Max TV VF-1A on sale for $88.90. Can't beat that price. Quote
mojacko Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) HK Collectibles has the the v2 Max TV VF-1A on sale for $88.90. Can't beat that price. i dont think so...actually if you check out Angolz.....theyve got VF1A Hikaru for $62.50 Kakizaki 1A for $69 and a Max 1A for $80.50..... http://www.angolz.co...asc&order=price Edited October 18, 2012 by mojacko Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 If you like fighter mode, you owe it to yourself to get a v2. Quote
ff95gj Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 If you like the Battroid mode, you can't go wrong with v2. Or if you like the Gerwalk mode. Oh hell, get the v2. It is superior in every way, except for diecast parts. Quote
mojacko Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) othing beats the V2 version...after years of waiting i finally got my 1st V2 about a week ago and its just pure awesomeness.....i actually acquire 2 1A at the same time..... and im loving them Edited October 18, 2012 by mojacko Quote
Vi-RS Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 More actions can be done with little mod. http://www.yamato-toys.com/dev/cont_109/index.html Quote

The TV version is $95 on Angolz. But that is a good price for Kakizaki. Quote
