Actually, did anyone told you the answer? YAMATO? no, right? ANYONE told you: "yes! the arms come with the VF-1J is not just a 1J arms, that represent all the TV valks arms!" ? did yamato told you? Again, did yamato told you they made the arms without the "[" shape is because this is a "dyrl" valks? come on! facing the true, the forearms dosen't mean anything about "TV" and "dyrl" ! if you still think you're right, please don't just look the toy that yamato made. I give you four picture that come from original mecha design, can you help me found out which one is TV, which one is DYRL ? :

IS IT?

... seems you misunderstood the concept between TV & DYRL , first, you talk about the elbow extension open in a"[" shape and the new surface details in VF-1J forearms, did anyone told you that is a truly TV specific forearms ? If you open book or dvd, you still can see the"[' shape also happen in the dyrl valks, what this mean? I think you rather said yamato make the new forearms is just especially for the VF-1J, better than the 1J is a TV version valks. and one more, did you own a hasagawa 1/72 battroid model? IF what you said is truly a different between TV and Dyrl, why we can found the strip panel line engrave on and the "[" shape in the dyrl valks forearms? Yamato haven't scuplt the strip panel line on the dyrl valk is more like they abandon the detail on it, have it or not it dosen't metter. And about the missing of the "[" shape, is radically a wrong scpult. So, when we intent to discriminate between TV & dyrl VALKS, the different between the forearms is not a reference point, it just a question about the DETAIL level,I prefer to said yamato make a wrong explanation on all the 1/48 VF-1 forearms , except the 1J .

Many people think the forearms is a point that to divid the "TV" and the "DYRL" ,but the answer is no. I can tell u the black strip on the forearm is just especially design for the VF-1J, all the VF-1A ,VF-1S and VF-1D are no this strip on the TV mecha design, u can open book to check it out otherwise, u can see the CF-1A come with a TV pilot, TV palm and TV VERSION sticker sheet, that's no any flaw in the logic. **but note that, I don't mean the new speical version valk is a dyrl / tv version valks, I just mean where is the "basic package" come from .**

I don't think the stealth and woodland VF is a LIMITED VERSION VALK, it was because the old LOWVIZ have many point that different to normal valks, such as the pre-panel lining ,flat top coating and come with special LOWVIZ sticker sheet,that three point are the two new valks haven't come with, and beside, we can't see any" limited version" wrote on the box, even on the official web page, so we just can call that :SPECIAL EDITION

the answer is no, and the sticker sheet also is dyrl version，so this is a dyrl repaint version, no like the CF-1A and stealth VF-1J, both are TV version VALKS

It's come from takatoy sticker for lowviz

then u must buy a custom decal set for she, I hate yamato , just provide a normail sticker sheet for this lowviz, even the stealth VF-1J, but this lowviz is better then the stealth, haven't print the SKULL mark on it~

yes, iive in HK, and these lowest price is happen on the first 2day when the product release, a shop in richmond 2nd floor always mark the price neerly same as the dealer price, just make 10-20 dollers(HKD) profit. Another good price shop is in N.T. FAN LANG ,but i don't know exactly location, just my friend told me.

the lowest price in HK I see is: garland and VF-0: $ 840 HKD (105USD) stealth super set: $1000HKD(125 USD) LOWVIZ 2: $730 HKD (91 USD) the last time I saw the max Q_RAU is in causeway bay, $550 HKD(69 USD), while the MIRIA Q_RAU are selling in $250HKD (31 USD)

oh, don't panic everyone, the "white" just my repaint job, not factory's work. any I prefer the "detail" more to the camo function ,and i don't think the little white spot can affect on that big steel bird

finlish touch up of my LOWVIZ VER.2

hey everyone, finally I NOTE that the seat have been changed since the first issue of the HIKIARU 1S, so, any issue after The Hikaru 1S have a new seat on it. the different between the two is the upper part of the seat, the new one have a concave that let the helmet of the pilot fit in.

I don't know if anyone state that before, I found the cockpit pilot seat of the new LOWVIZ and the stealth VF-1 are different from other, the sculpt of the seat have been change than much best fitting for the lowviz pilot, while the old lowviz just leave the same with the normal one.

i hope yamato cancel the antenna on the backpack, it's too stupid with that kind of so call "antenna", many people ask me what is it when they see that , I give them the answer, their reply is: "....... sorry, I don't get it, never seen any antenna as that thick...."

yes,the actual stuff is much better than the product shot form yamato, color not that contrast, and the texture on the body surface look so good~less plastic feel:)

I think the kneecap covers are what's loose; not the actual knee joint itself. At least that's how I interpret it. In the pic below, they're opened all the way, so maybe they are loose. 396218[/snapback] no, the loose is the knee Horizontal rotation joint, not the kneecap covers, the kneecap cover must opened to rotate the leg horizontally , so u always see the cover down

yes~! I open the book and compare with the Tenjin's artwork and the original mecha design, most of detail is accuracte, even the proportion, but I not satisfy enough is this time not perfect transfrom... the antenna under the fighter head need to detach during transfrom, maybe we can rotate it to instead detach, but this is very danger that easy to broke the antenna

What kind of improvements???? 395451[/snapback] no photo, hard to tell you~ some of it is the transform more easy than VF-1, most of the marking have been pre-print on the body, you can just apply the U.N. arrow sign on it to basically complete the decal. magnetic attachment of the FP, more detail sculpt then the VF-1, also pre-coloring of the missile ~ and more~!

but I must to say, eliminate the QC problem, this VF-0 is the best product of yamato since YF-19~! best production design~best shape~! so many improvement from the 1/48 VF-1, once I get back the camera, I 'll take some photo and wrote a simple review.

who know~~?

i just got 3of 4, no one know the 1/4 is good or bad, maybe 4/4 is all bad~

wish all you guys good luck...get a healthy baby

the shop no one more for replacement, so give me back money
