TheFrenchOne Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Just a question to the 1 J without FP owners : Did the box have little scratch parts at the bottom of the top flap or not ? Mine haven't unlike the all others 1/48 boxes that why i wonder. Found on ebay No scratch parts either Scratch parts at the bottom Quote
recon Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Hi Frenchone, Do you mean velcro tabs? If thats what you mean, yaps the reissues as well as the VF-1Js boxes all dun have velcro tabs to lock the top cover in place. Maybe its an oversight on Yamato's part? Cheers Quote
grassland Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Just got my 2 VF-1J home and cant wait to put them up for display. 1 with FP and 1 without FP. My 2 VF-1J side by side Quote

vlenhoff Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 A comparison, with what I believe is a 1/48 Acura NSX That's all for now Ladies & Gentlemen. Vic. Quote
Göönk Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Nice shots I think it's hard to make good pictures of the gerwalk. I don't know why, but I prefer the real view than photos Quote

I suppose more instant noodles for ya again? Hey Grassland, can you do a closeup picture of your VF-1S Hikaru with Fps, cos i have yet to decide to get one, perhaps being able to see it in natural light will help me decide. Sorry Guys i know this is off post. Cheers Edited December 11, 2003 by recon Quote
vlenhoff Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 perhaps being able to see it in natural light will help me decide. Hmmm, I wonder what do you mean by that? No fancy light maybe? Vic. Quote

Hi vlenhoff, What i meant was white fluroscent light or normal day lighting... The kind of lighting effects that you displayed your VF-1J Cheers Edited December 11, 2003 by recon Quote
Göönk Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 I WANT A VF-1S !!! Don't take pics, not necessary Quote
grassland Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 (edited) Hi Recon here as you requested. Sorry guy off post but this pic might help other that recon to decide to buy the VF-1S Hikaru. The 2 hot shot of the movie and the series side by side! Not really sure if this help but I would say buy it and not regret later. Since the day i know Yamato, i know my destiny is with bread and noodles All started out with the YF-19 and the rest is history................. I mean my wallet and my pay check is HISTORY!!!!!!!! <_< Edited December 12, 2003 by grassland Quote
recon Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Hey Grassland, Thanks a million! I guess i have made up my mind to get the 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru. Both VF-1S cant seem to do without the other. Afterall both are the key characters...not forgetting Max and Kazaki....will Yamato release a VF-1S Max? We shall see. Thanks again for the pictures grassland. Sorry guys for the off post Cheers Quote
Göönk Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 (edited) Now I know how to recycle the VF-1J fastpack ! Thanks for picture. (I'm not fond of the movie. I only have a bad quality Real Player file. DVDs are too hard to find. anyway, off topic). The VF-1J Hikaru doesn't look right with the while it's so cute without it. Anyone going to do a TV VF-1S? I have a spare pair of big "TV" hands to use ! The pilot figure is a problem. Edited December 11, 2003 by Göönk Quote
Roy's Blues Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 I received my VF-1J FP today, courtesy of Valkyrie-exchange. I am very pleased with it. I think it looks best without the FP. The FP look really good on the Low-Vis. I will post pics on request. Quote
Göönk Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 they're huge and blurry but thanks for the pictures anyway Yes it looks grey in your pictures compared to previous pictures of the FP. and now what about a picture of the 1J fastpack on a 1S Roy? Please ! Quote
GreenGuy42 Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 Grassland.. stunning... That picture just makes me wish I HAD more money man.... I REALLY want my FAST packs. Quote

Please ! Check this thread for some pics of the TV FAST packs on Roy's 1S. Quote
Göönk Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 Check this thread for some pics of the TV FAST packs on Roy's 1S. thanks for the link Great shots. I wish they had the stickers though but that already gives me a good idea of what it can be. Quote
Chowser Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 just got me reissue 1s and 1j fp from valkexchange today, i'm going to throw some anasazi stickers on the 1s and some takatoys stickers on the 1j after the holidays. Quote
mechaninac Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Hoo Hoo! My brand new VF-1J w/FP just arrived, and in time for Christmas no less. This thing is awesome to look at. The head sculpt is near perfect, the pilot is much better than the DYRL ones, and the extra hands should be a must on every Valk. (attention recasters: get cracking, I need a few more sets or these apendages; BTW, they should be cast in a similar soft material to Yamato's, and in color...asking a lot, I know ) Truth be told, however, even as impressive as the 1J is, I still think that the Low Vis wins top honors for sheer beauty and realism IMO.

Uxi Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Damn now I'm starting to want a VF-1J. I like my 1/60. I like my 1/60... Quote

DrClay Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 Who's PILOT LIEUT.K.WARMAKER? Dun seem to remember any character with this name in the TV series... that's the name ascribed on the cockpit of the Bandai 1/555 cannon fodder.... Quote
Chronocidal Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 Question... if the valk's 1/555, how on earth did you ever read that name??? Quote
JMBNaples Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 hey vlenhoff, I noticed back on page 3 (the pic of the Tomcats) you have thr 1/48 on a 6 stand. Is that the size you would recomend for the 1/48? Quote
Chowser Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 anyone else have this problem on their 1J? the visor has some pieces of it that are chipped off, I'll see if it shows up in a photo. ok. it doesn't show up, on the pic too well, but i circled the area that it is in. it is at the bottom of the visor, like when you take the micro missiles out, you have to clean/shave part of the sprue off, that's what the bottom of the visor looks like on mine but the chip is into the visor. guess i'll have to find some putty and fill it in. also, the heatshield panel line is not filled in on one side? what's up yamato? paint didn't dry? gotta find my marker and fill it in. also, the little rubber things in the legs are coming out like on the original 1/48s, oh well, easy fix on that. argh, other than those problems, a perfectly good toy! I haven't noticed anything wrong with my reissue 1S yet. Quote

Sephiroth Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 I got my 1/48 Super VF-1J on Christmas Eve and although I was very impressed with it, I couldn't help but feel that the super armor just didn't look right on the Hikaru VF-1J....so I gave the super armor to my Focker VF-1S and evrything looked just right. Hikaru's VF-1J was never armored in the series and so it looks perfect to me just by itself with his Gunpod attached to his arm and having those two anime clenched hands on. I absolutely love my armored "Skull-One" with anime hands and I would have to say it's my favorite 1/48 now, the one I always wanted ever since I saw series and the Takatoku 1/55 VF-1S Super Valkyrie. Next to my MP Optimus Prime, these are the two best toys I could have ever hoped for. It's been such a great year! Quote
mbs357 Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 Nice poses. =D And I believe my 1J has the little chip under the visor as well...not too sure. Low light, and in fighter mode. Quote
