need help..just bought Yamato VF-1A 1/48 (brown one) kinda stuck when try to align both arm so cant make complete battleroid

on manual book just push the arm (force?)afraid i might break it..anybody have same problem?

hey correct me if i wrong..but it the same transform like other valkyries 1/48 rite? where the arms must be forced cos sumthing block around the circle...

i assumed that you think this is the defect. Same as mine at first but yeah it must be forced to pass through the block.It hard at first but when after couple times transformed it come a bit easy..but still at first this is scary lor...afraid might break it

you can check how to transform for valkyrie at youtube, collectiondx homepage

just got VF-1S 1/60 from Berjaya ..just wonder, yamato stuff is more anime acurate rite? so in anime/real stuff also VF-1S jet is actually smaller than YF-19 fighter? this for the same scale also -1/60, i know that both based on real fighter jet..sorry a noob question

here some pics..ignore Isamu lands on the box


Ayee.. smaller eh?



Isamu to Roy..

Isamu: So bro after this we go to mamak yes?

I saw some new Roy/Rick toy from Bandai at XL shop.. this one is a new release? My old brother dont like this much, cos he saw some steel panel/stuff at side of both legs..make this one a bit..ugly?

I think it look nice..although it look kinda wide/fat when in Battroid mode

So new VF-1S 1/60 with strike parts is among last products by Yamato eh?

Better get YF-21 before it too late..

im also collect SOC and some model kit from Bandai..but not being fan favorite for one version only, sometimes i do miss certain products/news..so Roy Forker from XL shop is old one?

say..holyground blog is urs?

Better get VF-1J scale 1/60 next month..better articulation, great paint job and nice box set too that is if you like bigger, go get 1/48..cost more or less RM120, but still great too..
personally i think 1/48 looks a bit stiff when comes how you want to pose this, look like statue in Battroid mode

SDF-1 model..is that model kit?awesome model actually..back in 90's then had this toy that tall the same as my cat, along with mospeada toys..if only i remember where ive put it

I recommend you get roy focker 1/60 lah bro..cos i think this is the best macross stuff that yamato ever release

Toynami masterpiece 1/10 die cast Mospeada Cyclone ...want this one.. badly
better start saving now

CollectionDX already upload their new macross video review..Hikaru too, but this is VF-1A

want to grab VF-1J too, but my wallet just slapped my face and give me some serious warning if i buy more.. maybe after recover money after me bought VF-1S, yes?

As for compare size..don't have the 1/48 scale, but it should as tall as the other valkyries.. then again this is roy focker compare to VF-0S..

i also want to 'kirim' if you guys here go to SG..hehehe now only YF-21 left to complete my collection

well there some improve on articulation..such as the elbow on the 1/48 only limited to 90 degrees, but the 1/60 can pull upwards to the max...even can touch the upper shoulder..thus various poses can be made,yes? yeah and the legs also..
also there some notable improvement by clicking the center metal to the nose cone..oh the metal plate where nose cone to place/remove is welcome too
you will be pleased that a lot of nice pegs on 1/60..make this one a lot sturdier, can fly this thing around nicely..though i wish the were 'clicky' part on the wings
since collected 1/48 before, personally my first impression for this scale kinda..meh or 'alaa keciknya' but trust me..you will grow to like it.. but then again its your choice yes?

you can check Graham review on macrosswrold.com as well..

1/60 and 1/48..wonder these are anime accurate or compare to real jet yeah?if so then VF-1 1/60 ver2 jet really small when compare other 1/60 valkyries..depend if the jets exist lor..

This post has been edited by ajis: Sep 17 2008, 10:04 PM

no wonder the pilot, Roy is as big as Isamu still..like the previos post said the pilot is still big the same like 1/48..lol

even so i heard most jets are based on real thing yes?just wonder if YF-21 flies along with VF-1S..

hmm about the pin inside the hinge..i'm also read posts from macrossworld.com, some folks also had the same problem..when lift up the shoulder plate, it only limited at 90 degree. Don't force it ..other wise there will possibly end up crack at the end of shoulder plate
