I am fairly happy with it, the proportions and details are nice, the transformation isn't as scary as the Ride Armors. I haven't run into any delicate pegs as the ones on the ride armors so it still feels a bit fragile. It is a little fiddly, where some joints are really tight and some are not, they are not deal breakers. Quote

Chris Yeah, that’s a difference between DYRL and TV figures. The 1J says “Vermillion Leader” in the same spot. The Hikaru 1S says nothing. Quote

sh9000 Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 After being the third TV release, I wonder if the TV VF-1S Roy will come with more TV fixed posed hands and less DYRL fixed posed hands. Quote
Ryoma Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 So the Roy figure comes with an atmospheric type helmet and not with a space one, right? Same kind Hikaru VF-1J and Max VF-1A if i remember correctly. Quote

Same kind Hikaru VF-1J and Max VF-1A if i remember correctly. This made me go back and see if they wear space suits in space turns out they do! Funny though, if we get 2 different Isamu with a YF-19, why not 2 pilots with the TV Version Figures? Makes sense for DYRL since it's just the one space suit, but not for TV Quote
Lolicon Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 TV style encompasses space and atmospheric helmets. Hikaru had the open-faced atmospheric helmet while Max had the closed-face space helmet. Quote
DYRL VF-1S Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 It's not just the figures that are different though; the cockpits are too. Quote

I was thinking the same. Would be great to have a closed fist TV hand for each arm like the Yamato 1/60 V2 (and Bandai's own HMR TV versions for that matter). Quote

Because you'll feel special if you're able to land a PO. But in seriousness, it's because of the included flight stand. Maybe there will be a "non-special" that doesn't have the stand.

dafunguy Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Maybe Non-Special will be no flight stand and movie version? Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Non-special might be a TV 1S with Hikaru pilot and decals? Quote
HardlyNever Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Honestly, I wouldn't read too much into the "special" part, as I've seen that get thrown around for a while. It basically means Roy Focker custom/use, but for whatever reason "special" gets used sometimes, especially for Roy. I don't really know why. They did the same thing with their HMR Roy. And yes, one of those did come with a "special" display stand, they also did a release that didn't come with a display stand, and still called it "Roy Focker Special." I'm pretty sure I've seen that used for other Focker toys, but I can't find another example at the moment. But I believe it's been around since the 90s, maybe even the 80s. Edit: Arcadia calls theirs Roy Focker specials, too. Edited June 25, 2020 by HardlyNever Quote
jenius Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Yeah, I think "special" and "custom" are synonymous. Quote
treatment Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Think it's supposed to be "Scalper Special". Bandai just cropped out the first term for the text to fit the box... Quote
Stealthvalkyrie Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Do we have a date/time for the PO madness yet? Quote

Chronocidal Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I've always just heard "Roy Focker Special" in the same vein as a celebrity vehicle. It's just his ride. I'm trying to think of more places where you would see that, but most aren't aircraft, they're more often limited edition cars. It's a little beyond just customization, it's more like association with a particular person who owned or designed it, more like a Shelby Cobra. The only aircraft that comes to mind is a Pitts Special, and while I think it started as a custom design associated with the designer himself, it gradually became a very popular mass produced design.

Lolicon Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Wasn't Roy involved with the development of the VF-1? Quote
