1/55 question ..

[Demon_seed_22]

This is a newbie question. I did try to find the answer in the newbie pinned boards with no luck.

What's the difference between the Origin of V. 1/55 and the macross 1/55?

I know the OoV were released in 2008 as a reissue. I through the were re makes issues of the orig tatakuas..?

I'm not sure when the other was released.

What I'm most curious about is the differences in the toys...???

Here's a example of each of I didn't describe clearly.

Origin of Valkyrie came after the initial re-releases of the 1/55 Takatoku molds by Bandai....they are essentially the same....both have minor improvements over the original Takatoku releases.

The Origin of Valkyrie release included a vf-1j tv, vf-1s tv, vf-1a Hikaru dyrl with fast packs, and a first ever vf-1a max dyrl with fast packs.

The previous Bandai re-issues included:

vf-1j tv, vf-1s tv, vf-1a standard tv, Max vf-1j tv, Milia vf-1j tv, dyrl Hikaru vf-1a, and vf-1s tv with super pack

And before these....there was a funky headed Bandai vf-1s tv with fast packs....around 1989 or 1990....

I would love to see the funky headed version for once..

I second that. Would be nice if we can get a re-ish of the DYRL 1S HIKARU too, but oh well.

It's this one.

It has a rounded face instead of the flat one

Yep...that's the funky headed one I was referring too....the only worse VF-1S head sculpt is arguably the Henkei or Yamato V1....

Thanks for the info.

I orig thought I wanted a OoV but now I guess either will do.

Anyone have a Roy version to part with??

The Origin of Valkyrie VF-1S is the hardest one to get....and is usually priced higher....unless you are a dead set on it...it would be easier and less expensive to get the Bandai VF-1S re-issue from 2001...

Go here for info on all the 1/55 valks:

Thx, good info and advice.

Now I just have to figure out if I have a good price on the OoV or a hi price on the re-issue..lol

I'd say the Toynami 1/100 VF-1S has the worse head sculpt.
