sqidd Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 How to tell the difference between 1/48 Yamato VF-1 V1 and V2?? VF-1S Fokker for instance. Or the one packaged with S&S parts. Do the boxes look different? Is there a way of telling by any other means? What version are these in the pictures? Thanks! Quote
Smacky Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Jenius has a list of the different versions up on his site, anymoon.com I’m not sure which are the ones you’re asking about though, sorry. Quote
CF18 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I don't recall any 1/48 with V1 or V2. Only 1/60 have completely different V1, V2, and V2 had sub versions. with improvements. Quote
Kicker773 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 There are differences for the old folks still on the forum. Box difference with Velcro and alignment of the skulls on the tail fins for example. Check with Jenius. I know there are at least 4 Versions of the 1/48 with the latest one having a different box all together. You can also do a search if its on the new archives or lost in the old system. Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I’m guessing the latter box in this picture row is the latter release. Photos from Jenius’ Anymoon site. http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=178 Yamato packaged their first ultra premium toy in fighter mode, fully splayed, which required a fairly large box. The large box has a collector’s style flip top lid and an inner cardboard tray with the instructions and stickers smuggled in behind. The original releases (Hikaru VF-1A, Max VF-1A, Focker VF-1S) were simple black boxes with text indicating the toy inside. You can generally tell the first releases from later ones by Velcro on the corner of the box that holds the collector’s lid down (although there are some exceptions, the super gift-sets and the first LowVis toy also had Velcro). The latest releases, the Macross Chronicles VF-1A toys come in finished corrugated cardboard boxes without a flip-top collector’s lid. All toys came with some thin plastic protector pieces usually around the nose of the plane (if you’re buying a toy second hand it’s a safe bet the protective insert pieces will be missing but it never seemed to me that they accomplished much).

Nightbat Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I thought the physical dead giveaway was the addition of 2 tabs in the nosecone to prevent it falling off what I'm not sure about is if the flaps were fixed in position on later models Edit: It seems the mastercard(?) specials are missing in that list?

I ignore them since they are anonymous but it is pretty funny. Quote

No idea, I get a lot of random downvotes too and pretty much just chuckle about it. I tried to make a post about it in the feedback section for owners to fix the feature but I don't think anyone was paying attention. Quote
