    I was kind of hopeful that the newer ones might have had better qc/production values. The apparent care given to the paint and packaging of the Fugu made me think that maybe the production tools were being used by a different party, but it's just as likely that it's the same backing.

    Found a forgotten pic of my Valkyrie Factory 1S with the clear covers installed. What's the consensus on the quality of these versus the Fugu? Anyone have both?

    Closer to a DX Henkei, but that's disrespectful to Takatoku Henkeis.

    1/55's revisited

    You can tell because they weigh the same as a duck, or a very small rock 🤪

    Pretty chequered. Their better products have been manufactured by third parties, where Toynami functions as a brand partner/regional distributor. The homegrown Toynami stuff ranges from "ok" to "disgusting".

    1/55's revisited

    Awesome work. That must be one of the most comprehensively modified 1/55s in existence! I'm particularly impressed by the completely novel hip joint nesting in what looks like a slide-open nose blister, and the integrated intake covers and toe extension, but that's hardly even scratching the surface. Good show man.

    That is rad. While I can't read it, I can certainly admire the hand that penned all of that.

    It could have been worse... F. Etienne Ornette?

    Neat! Looking at the image closely, it appears that the 1J's visor constitutes the "A", and the chin makes up the "T" to spell out MAT vertically. Fantastic post, and grats on completion of the series! Thanks for sharing them here.

    The copyright date of 1984 refers to the creation of Bandai's mold for the toys. We can tell that yours is the 1990 release because the head sculpt is completely unique to that one release.
  12. Hiriyu
    What you seem to have there is the 1990 Bandai release of the VF-1S Super Valkyrie package. Check out Jenius's overview of that release and package contents here.

    Notice that the elbow joint weirdness returns on the box artwork for the weathered version, showing the articulated lower bicep that doesn't exist on the actual toy.

    It's just the thing to display next to your Gakken Legioss 🤪

    Sounds like it's probably somewhere between 1/48 and 1/43 scale, but I don't know how long a Spinner is and can't really be bothered to look it up. Neat looking model though anyway!
