Official 1/100 BANDAI Hi-Metal VF-1S Valkyrie with Strike Parts

[Vi-RS]

I don't see no arm armors on any of these and some even have a 1J head with 1S paint so I guess these are still working versions

Unfortunately it doesn't look too good so far, but I'm still quite confident Bandai won't ruin Roy's valkyrie.

The arm armors are done, they just didnt put it on that unit for some reasons.

i think its a prototype (just for this show only) display only..

look at the fastpack paint on the barrel where the micromissles deploy.. terrible.. seems like it was painted with a pentel pen marker black.

i hope.

Well since all the pics show this guy without arm armor, it's pretty obvious these are still prototypes. That aside, I really don't think it looks that bad, yea they angle out a bit but I don't think it's anywhere near enough to complain over, but that's just me, and I'm also not one who has nerdgasms over tiny little miniscule details unlike most on this site. I don't even comprehend the complaints over the head, it looks like a VF-1S head.

+1

This is definitely a prototype and the panic juice seems nearing its expiry date (that explains the bowel movement ). First, the backpack on the second picture, the gerwalk mode shows that it's pointing straight ahead and not on an angle. Funnily enough, that's a VF-1J unit with VF-1S color scheme and 001 insignia, the triangle visor and single dual mauler cannons is a dead giveaway.

Second, that neck seems to be tacked on rather than engineered to look that way. Bandai already did a terrific job one the VF-1J head on fighter mode where it's flushed. To have the VF-1S head sticking out would destroy the design balance. Anyway, the first magazine scan on page 1 shows the S having shorter neck and noticed the missing red dot above the visor from the show picture?

And finally, like everybody else who doesn't drink the panic juice, no arm armors. At first I thought Bandai is cutting corner again that we can't display the complete "packed" up VF-1S with the arm armors attached. But I'll be wrong x3. The magazine scan clearly shows that the arm armors have slits parallel to the lower arm where it connects to the gunpod in fighter mode... And that sorta answer my initial question why the gunpod is situated lower in fighter mode on the magazine scan.

It's very hard to believe this is a 1/100 scale with that amount of detail. I'm just blown away. As soon as I pick a few of these up, my Toynami Battlepods (regults) will be blown away too.

My friend I have 6 standard regults, 2 heavy missile, 2 light missile, I'm getting a Glaug, I have the Hi-Metal VF-1J, and as I've said I'll be buying most of this series. It's really what I've been waiting for, some quality in scale baddies and valks, I have a couple 1/60's, but the 1/60 regult model or whatever it is, to me at least, is stupidly expensive and of course it's also exclusive. I could really see no one, even the hard core collectors with lots of random dough to drop will be buying enough to make any kind of scene. I am also building a nice city-scape battleground scene for my whole amazing looking 1/100 collection to sit in, it is safe to say, I can't wait to see what gets announced next because haters and complainers aside, this line will and is doing well.

Preorder done at hlj.

[Vi-RS]

Is it just me or what? I got a feeling that the VF-1S head in this picture is CG?

Looks really shiny. Maybe someone drooled at it. An escaped xenomorph was there at the time of taking the picture.

i caved in and early bird preordered from hlj

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Might hold out for a TV Roy flightsuit 1S or a hikaru TV Super instead.

[Chronocidal]

Do you always look at your valks with a magnifying glass?

I'm kinda torn on this, so I might have to pick up Hikaru and Roy so I can get the main icons, but I really wonder if you can improve the fast pack angles... they just look horrible that way.

Congrats! Enjoy yourself!

Clearer pics,

Wow, how craptacular. I don't think those fast packs could be anymore wonky looking, but I've been proven wrong before.

Clearer pics,

The beam cannon is pointed far to high in fighter mode. I wonder if this can be corrected at the connection point and not by swiveling the cannon downward.

[Tking22]

I'm wondering when they'll release stand alone fast packs, so my VF-1J can get the super/strike upgrade too!

Be waiting for that review and I do hope it's gonna be good, so that I can make this my official play piece instead of having to open up any of my V2 1/60's.

New pictures of the hi-metal VF-1s on Cybergundam's blog :

Looks like Bandai opted for DYRL Roy pilot finally, I wonder if he's swappable with a TV Roy since the TV hands and super parts are also provided.

Hell yes I can't wait, one more month, but now I need some stand alone fast packs to get released so Hikaru's 1J isn't naked any more, oh and a TV Kakizaki and Max 1A please!!
