I believe they were NEVER released with rainbow canopies; both the TV VF-1S Roy and the TV VF-1S Hikaru that came with the Super Parts.
And yes, I’m an old timer.
The VT-1 had the exploding shoulder’s that’s why nobody wanted it. It should’ve been one of the best sellers considering it having the greatest “air time” in the movie.
Aside from the shoulders, there were plenty of backpack breakage reported. (Never had the backpack problem though)
I was actually worried if you meant TV, because the Super VF-1S is my 2nd favorite 1/60 Valk. Phew.
Just to be clear, are you talking about the VF-1S TV yellow and black stripe with TV Hikaru pilot that comes with the TV Super Fast Packs that comes in a box?
