His reviews & transformation guides never disappoint.

It's interesting the arm sliders are nowhere nearly as tight as some copies, so looks like only affect certain examples. Looking forward to the full review!

Same here, the transformation guides are always good, but the full reviews are where a glass of scotch or a good beer is worthy.

Now there's a sponsor @jenius could have. 😉

[505thAirborne]

Behold... The Review!! And yes, I have an ice cold Pacifico in hand while watching.

Lol, thanks for the compliments. Hopefully the review lives up to expectations! I think my next ThreeZero video will be a direct comparison of the Yamato VF-1J weathering Hikaru vs. the ThreeZero Weathered VF-1J Rick. I'll probably take a break and do some other reviews before coming back to it though.

Just replace Guinness with Jenius and it’s gonna sell to fans of the reviews and drunks that are so wasted they can’t read the bottle correctly. Although then there’s definitely gonna end up more drunken Macross fans either way

So I didn't notice the toy had a double knee joint because it was so stiff... after some comments I tried harder and got it to move so I'm going to do a quick edit and upload again.

Ah, was wondering where the review had gone. 😅

Probably needs some time to process before it's available in higher definition but here's the corrected video with the double-jointed knee discussed:

 

Thanks for anyone who left a comment pointing out the issue!

Thanks again for a review! I got mine a couple of weeks ago, but it has never left the package... But you didn't turn the missiles around like in the instructions. 😉

I didn't know about that the other knee joint either, so that is good to know.

Great review as always @jenius, I enjoyed both the written and video format.

One of the wing is crooked a bit. Is this a common issue, or just I got a bad one?

I'm curious, did anyone get theirs with evenly flushed wings? The one I got is minor but not perfect. Did the weathered version have the same problem?

[jenius]

I think mine are flush on both versions... If there not, they're so close I didn't notice.

[MKT]

Mine is pretty flushed too, no issues there.

Still have the goofy elbows.

[jvmacross]

ThreeZero's VF-1 has grown on me....will pick them up as they are released but seems they are not selling out so no rush for me...

[tekering]

No FAST packs, no sale. 😤

[jvmacross]

The only "DX" toys of the M&M VF-1Js released by Japanese companies without bundled Fast Packs were from Takatoku and the re-releases from Bandai....

A release of these without bundling them with their color-matched Fast Packs would be a very Robotech thing to do....

I cans see not including them on Hikaru’s 1-J, but these should have em.

Yeah, those elbows are the only real weak point of these. Otherwise, looks like a solid Valk. 

[jenius]

I wonder if the arm armors on super Parts will need to be low profile given how much the arms stick out underneath.

[MKT]

Aside the panel lining, the paint on Rick's 1J give off a nice impression of painted metal like real jets. The M&M 1J continues this impression under that display lighting and looks lovely.
