Not going for the armour!!!
Check this chinese site. Maybe this will change your mind.

So far all my Vf-1s have no problems even with the old style hip connector.

Then again if anyone of you purchasing any VF-1 better look for the new ones with new hip connector. Easier to attach to the crotch.

Hoorayyy... got the Quarter.
Will do a short review this weekend.

hehehehe......


For those planning to buy the GBP-1S packaged with the VF-1J please be aware that the VF package are old stocks and have a problem on the shoulder where wrong type of pins are inserted.

Better buy the armour only without the VF.

Apparently with the wrong pin, the hinge connector on the shoulder is prone to breakage. So during transformation this is gonna be affected.

See this link for further info

No problem.
I think I have to check all my VF-1s.

Crap VF-1A also got ah...

better watch out.
So your 1S got the correct pin?

Damn it my VF-1J with SS pack is using the knurled pin and the hinge got a little small crack already.

Err.. I don't think the Quarter is big.
Its just the gun and the flight deck that makes it lenghty.

Super glueing it will help for a while but later will still crack unless you replace the pin. The knurled pin is the culprit that cause the hinge to crack.

My rating on the Macross quarter:

Design: 8/10
Sculpt: 8.5/10
Painjob: 7/10
Gimmicks: 7/10
Accessories included on the package: 9/10
Price: 6/10
Overall: 7.5/10

Design of the Quarter was pretty good. Feels solid and heavy thanks to the metal parts on the foot. Stands firmly too. Joints are tight on all parts of the figure. Articulation on this figure is excellent as well. You can do lots of pose on this figure and furthermore fingers are articulated. Given also on the package are 1 set of extra hands.

However there is the arm that I don't really like about it. I would prefer that Bandai design the arm to have rachet joints instead of using the screw joints. If one would display it holding the flight deck and gun, the arms will surely sag overtime. This is partly of the weight and also due to the lenghty gun and flight deck. The sculpt was pretty accurate to the anime. Would have prefer more details were added on the whole figure. Then again price would be enormous.

Paintjob was just above average. As the figure on mine, I can still spot some messy paintjob on the foot and on the head. Accessories was good especially the stand included for Battroid and ship mode. Also included on the package were tiny miniatures that complement the Quarter (VF-25, Konig monster... etc). Although not in scale, but was good enough that Bandai included them in. Gimmicks on this figure are as follows:
1) Flight deck lifts. (2 of it)
2) Retractable squarish thingy on the bottom of the flight deck. (Don't know what is this. But pretty cool) LOL...
3) Flight deck to holster on the back of the battroid
4) Firing gun mode.
Price wise, this thing is pretty expensive.
But then if you are able to get it cheaper below RM700 then I think its worth it.

A nice figure if you got the money to burn.

Nice collection of capital ships.

I have the YF-21 too.
But the YF-22 Gamlin really very poisoning. I'm so tempted on getting it. Black in colour really looks damn beautiful
