My apologies if I missed it in this thread, but is there any indication of mold improvements for the ET Iota? It’s a bit more expensive (at least on BBTS) than the others were.

I don't have one of these but if you have the necessary measurements, the part can be easily done. 

Iif you can drill a 1mm hole in the remaining bit of the antenna that can avoid the complete opening. But if not, I'm afraid that you will need to open the head to remove the old bit and replace it. 

Edit.

Thanks to a donation from my son, I did a "good enough for me" fix using Finn's blaster from The Force Awakens. Not a perfect match (size or color) but close enough since this spends most of its time in jet or gerwalk mode.

The remaining post is ~2mm wide, I think it's probably best to replace the whole part. I'll borrow some digital calipers and get precise measurements this week. Then I'll upload some pics and measurements. Thanks!

(And the screw same out easily without any damage. Whew!)

I've got a couple of Takatoku VF-1A valks with damaged head lasers. Is anyone aware of any third party or 3D printed replacements? I imagine it's possible to make a 3D printed replacement, so I'm hoping maybe someone has done it.  

Thanks!

I'm just waiting for the announcement for both VF-4 Lightning and VF-2SS.

They need to drop the 2 seaters!!! They would sell like hotcakes! VF-1D, normal and Virgin Road, Elint and Ostrich! MIc drop on Arcadia re-releases! BOOM! Profits!

My wallet will be sad. I will be glad. 😁

Does the vf1a come with a DYRL pilot and a SDF:M pilot too? I think I read that it had the hands and the head packeded with it, but both pilots too? I also thought you could not take the pilot out....

Yep. There's a picture back about 5-6 posts.

Not sure why bandai didn't make it both version like the 1a cf

It's not just the head, it's a considerably different paint scheme.

L-R: TV VF-1A, TV VF-1J

Ever since I first saw Macross SDF in the 80s I've preferred Max's 1A scheme of the two. I've just now begun buying Macross toys thanks to the Hi Metal line, so I'm really hoping they go all out. Seeing as a Kakizaki VF-1A has been pictured, I'd imagine it's more a matter of "when" than "if" we get a TV Max 1A.

It's not that I'm ungrateful for the Max VF-1J, but I really hope Bandai makes a Hi Metal R TV Version Max VF-1A.

Yes. I have a takatoku gbp set that fits on my bandai vf1j.

Thanks!

Quick Question:

Will the 80's Strike Parts of the VF-1S Strike Valkyrie fit the Bandai Reissues and the Origin of Valkyrie toys?

I saw the answer to this for strike parts, but I've got FAST packs with my reissue Max VF-1A. My question is: will the 80s GBP armor fit the Bandai or Origin reissues?

Pretty cool Bub, thanks! I'll be sure to check that out when i'm in Akiba next week.

OT, but did you spot any Cosmo Fleet SDFs? Still thinking on whether I should try my luck in Akiba, or just get it from HLJ..

My first post right here.

Because of the post above, I just learned of the Cosmo Fleet TV SDF. Is there a product similar to this out there for the DYRL SDF?
