lordmasterprince Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Finally got one at a good price,I think. I would say it's about 90% new. It come with every thing except the data card and the sticker sheets. But for about 100usd, I am not complaining anything. By the way , does anyone know if replacement sticker sheets for this is avaliable? The bigger one is the 1/55 Bandai reissue I got cheap a few months ago,for size reference.

mechatek Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 It looks like your CF heatshield has the panel lines for a 1D heatshield. Is this common for all HCM CF's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightmareB4macross Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Nice catch. I\'ve always like how the gun color goes really well with the VF-1A HCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Toyzone is a pretty cool place to go. I haven't been for a while though as since my office moved it's too far away and I rarely go to HK Island these days. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent-GHQ Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Isn't the gun supposed to be black, not brown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmasterprince Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Isn't the gun supposed to be black, not brown? 383293[/snapback] I guess they have to used the same plastic for as many parts as they can(feet and gun) to save cost. And the brown VF1A always have molded in brown feet ,rather than the usuall dark greyish navy on J and S. That's why I always thought a CF is "specially made" .......

kensei Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 The thing is not bad as a whole. I wish that they would rerelease them and redo the whole mold, or get Yamato to come up with their own brand of HCM Pros. The design is grossly out of proportion, but really good for it's time.

izzyfcuk Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Well, the blardy problem for this is that they yellow quite easily, but otherwise it's really nice for it's time as mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks fine in fighter mode,but in robot mode they stick out too much from the back pack. Other than this, I think the design and all the details are still considered to be very good .

The VF1S and VF1J are all white where as the VF1A has less white parts. And even when it does turn yellow, it will at lease go well with the brown parts.
