amptor Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hi, Just thought I'd start a thread about the variants of different 1/60 (if many exist). I'm wondering if you guys know any different production models of various models released. The only one I'm currently aware of is the TRU VF-1A CF is different from the TV version. Are there any others you guys can think of? I'm not really planning on collecting variants, but am curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-19 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Brown Cannon fodder type 2 (featured ability to upgrade to faspacks) I thought it couldn't take the boosters that go on the back of the Valk... Could be wrong though. To my knowledge, the VF-1D was the first valk that was able to use the full set of FAST packs but didn't come with them.

Prowlus Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 my mistake I thought that type 2 had the whole shibang but i guess i overlooked the backpack holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-19 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 my mistake I thought that type 2 had the whole shibang but i guess i overlooked the backpack holes It wouldn't be too hard to modify though... I'm tempted to try modifying my Max 1A, but the idea of drilling into diecast is scary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amptor Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 The type 2 does have holes on the legs (which I don't like, I should've waited for a TRU one to show up for a better price. remember when TRU ones were fetching upwards of $120?) And people were saying the type 1 and 2 had a different shade of brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Brown Cannon fodder type 1 (tru)Brown Cannon fodder type 2 (featured ability to upgrade to fastpacks) How would I be able to tell the difference between each version? Does the TRU version have that LIMITED EDITION sticker on it? What should I look for when I'm shopping around (on E-Bay)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 The limited edition CF has a gold sticker on it celebrating TRU's 10th anniversary. It's also a much darker shade of brown, much like the Bandai 1/55 CF. Finally, as others have said, you won't see holes in the limited edition CF's legs since it was never meant to accomodate Fast Packs. On a side note, the regular CF can only mount the leg and arm armor. There are no holes in its backpack for the boosters. The regular CF box has a yellow sitcker on it saying "TV" (a few I've seen don't even have the yellow sticker). Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druna Skass Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 There are no holes in its backpack for the boosters. Any way to go about putting the holes in with out wreaking it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amptor Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 Oh, how sweet! I just won on ebay a Hikaru VF-1A mint in sealed box for $30.49 shipped. I think the one I have on my desk here cost me around 70 bucks when they first were released. I applied all the decals to this one and later thought maybe it wasn't such a good idea. This more than makes up for it I think they probably flooded the market with these things though haha. But back on topic, I really like the cf vf-1a's light brown color that I have. So I'm probably much better off with this one then heh. I was admiring it when I took it out so I could wrap it with cellophane. man I wish I had a shrinkwrap machine for my Yamato and Bandai valks.
