the_foul_fowl Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Well that's what I'm wondering, in the HLJ pic's the ball joints are dark grey (I think or black) and in some pic's they are white. I like the look of the dark grey/black as it seems to hide the ball joint compared to the white. It's no big deal like I said just would like the heads up before mine arrives as if they are white I think I'll change it to black, just looks better IMO. But still I can't wait so if you have your's lets see some pic's. Just got mine (and Black getter!) from a local shop today. Yep, the joints are white.

warpaint22 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just got mine (and Black getter!) from a local shop today. Yep, the joints are white. Thanks tff for the heads up on the joint colour, I guess I'll change the joint colour to black as I think it hides the big ball a little better. Well thats the impression that the HLJ pic's give. Anyway thanks again for letting me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'd save your paints if I were you. Looking at the other pictures online, I think it's just the specific lighting on the HLJ pictures that give the joints some sort of diminishing look (not to mention the angles they are using. The dark joints look even more noticeable in some shots, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yeah, I think the black joint will look more obviouse. But I guess is not hard to replace the white with another black ball joint from other reveltech...which brings up another point: this mean, we can have a Max Vf-1S with minium fuss, just switch the head.

Graham Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 In the VF-1J pre-release publicity pics and also on the box photos, the shoulder ball joints are dark grey, which IMO was better as it made them less noticable. On the production VF-1J the shoulder ball joits are white, which I think makes them stand out far too much. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Thanks Graham I'm of the same opinion, I don't like them white so I will be changing them as I do think it will make the finished product look much better. IMO. When it arrive's I'll have a look , but I will for certain change the colour as white just doesn't look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidearmsalpha Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 For those who have it already, how do you attach the armor? Are there holes on the VF-1J that the armor parts fit into? If so, do the holes stand out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 The armor is attached with pins. One for the fastpacks, one for the leg armor on the back of the leg, and two on the bottom of the forearms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decon Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) HLJ has the VF-1A for preorder now also. Are there anymore Revolvtechs coming out after the VF-1A? Edited September 25, 2007 by Decon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley424 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 If you mean specifically Macross Revoltechs, there better be. I'm picking up a VF-1J and VF-1S in the hopes of getting some Zentradi Mecha and Destroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_foul_fowl Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm sure there'll be at least a Max and Miriya repaint, it would be too good an opportunity to miss! Maybe in a two pack with an optional clasped hands part like the Ultra Magnus release But yeah, destroids and enemy mecha would be cool... so far no news though.

VFTF1 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 What they really should and could do is a revoltech transformable SDF1... I mean -the transformation isn't all that complex anyways, and it would be pretty cool and cheap to boot. VFTF1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Sounds like a waste to me. The whole point of the revoltech product line is to create single mode action figures with a high degree of articulation. Transformation is obviously not what they're doing, since the VF-1 is single mode only, and the SDF-1 Macross is not a ship that does a lot of articulating actions.

bandit29 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Ya the SDF-1 isn't very dynamic. Should have my VF-1J today. BBTS has the preorder up for the VF-1A here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Finally got my 1J Revy on the way, stupid HLJ.com had to send it by EMS with my next flexi-stand purchase.

Mr March Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I hope they come out with more Revoltechs for Macross. I really want to see if other Valkyries will be produced before I buy more. Besides, I like to buy these things in batches of three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizman Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Ill wait till they make a hikaru 1S (if they ever do) before I buy one of these. The best VF-1 pose ever can only be done with 1 paint scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy007 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 i agree, a hikaru 1S would rock. This is probably much further down the line though...i assume kaiyodo will not release 4 macross revoltechs, for the most part back to back.

VFTF1 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 well If the 1S shows up at HLJ soon, then my pre-order is not going to come throgh and I'll have 10 days t replenish my credit card - gak.... But still - It's been like 2 weeks since they charged my Ivanov and Woodland 1A and Revoltech Kyu...whatever her name is...and still no shipment!! I like HLJ for their prices. But the processing/Shipping time lag is horrible VFTF1 Still - as long as they do ship it I will keep on using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikhii Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 So, everyone is waiting for Hikaru? Here's an edited pics that i took from http://srblood.blog89.fc2.com/blog-entry-280.html If you are waiting for range of colors VF1s. This is how it looks like. I love the pose below. If i have the entire army, it should be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley424 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I'll be so happy if they do a Q-rau and DYRL VF-1S Max. Regult and Officers Battlepod would be a plus and Destroids would be the icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
