I just remembered getting a DYRL VF-1A Max (the solo one) by the end of 2010 and it also had the clear canopy with the larger crotch hatch. I hope the VF-1J I saw on a local store here would be totally safe since it has the clear canopy. I can't afford it to have exploding shoulders since I plan to get it for the Armored VF-1J configuration since they don't sell the bundled ones here.

If it has a clear canopy then it should be fine. The vf-1's that had the shoulder problems had the rainbow canopy.

The original v2 1/60 VF-1J with the shoulder problems had the rainbow canopy. The VF-1J I bought a few weeks ago from HLJ is the 05/2010 reissue that has a clear canopy with fixed shoulders and an improved/larger crotch locking mechanism. Incidentally, Max and Hayao's TV version 1/60 VF-1's currently being sold at HLJ also have clear canopies. (I just got these). The only ones I think you need to concern yourself from them would be the 1/60 VF-1A Hikaru DYRL and possibly the VF-1S Hikaru DYRL as well. (The other ones that had problems seem to be sold out from that site)

Looking forward to the new design. Holding out for the vf-25G, though, as it's my favorite design.

Hi, Graham

If there are still any off white hinges left, I just need one set. I'll greatly appreciate it, thanks.

I did a couple of weeks ago. The vf-1j hikaru had the clear canopy and shoulder fix.

Does anyone know if the vf-1a dyrl hikaru still have the shoulder problems? I want to get one, but not sure if it still does .
