No worries, I was just wondering which you were talking about and good eye! It is the KO of the Yamato suit! And like I said, I was thinking of waiting for the possible 3Z release but after putting the suit on this figure, I realize it may not even fit the 3Z since it does really fit like a glove. Wonder if anyone has tried fitting it or wants to try if they have either version of the suit and a 3Z valk? Haha, I noticed that as I was reviewing the pics and someone else also pointed that out but too lazy to do a better setup or retake the pics so it can remain a fun easter egg.

Original show or original Yamato release? Either way, I'm really happy to finally have the set together. I've had the suit for a few years and no proper Valk to wear it.
-
I was planning to wait for 3Z to release one of these but not sure if /when that would ever happen and this was cheaper anyways so I finally got a 1/60 Max 1A to add to the collection: And one of the main reasons I wanted one was because I had this suit waiting for it for years:
-
That was for the armor ejection gimmick😉
-
I was about to ask if that stand was included in an official release since I've never seen it before.
-
I preordered those around 3 or more years ago. Finally cancelled the order and got a refund earlier this year or maybe last year. Either way, the timeline of those are in years so they gave up on that initial release and moved on to more profitable ventures as we see with the Jetfire release
-
Clever trick! Thanks for sharing.
-
Is that an adapter to use Tamashii stages for Air Fighter Collection models?
-
There is also more cost involved for Acadia with the VF-0 since it is a new design that is a V2 compared with the old Yamato whereas the SDF-1 is a straight reissue.
-
Yamato 1/48 is still the smoothest perfect transforming Valk and one of the best looking in fighter mode. Only main drawbacks are the hands and floppies when you start adding the optional parts to it.

That is a fantastic collection. I loved this toy and brought it with me everywhere as a kid.

It’s not the greatest and I was looking at how the glasses connect with the hairpiece but overall, it’s fine for me. Luckily, I’ve never been one to let small details that I can only really see up close bother me so I won’t be staring at Max’s face while admiring my collection. I’m more concerned with the overall look when standing back and seeing a whole shelf since that’s how I see my collection more than 90% of the time.

For the most part, yep totally agree again. Especially those Toynami Valks, lol. But… Yep again. A good toy is a good toy. I don’t have one yet but @Steady you should check out the reviews on anymoon comparing the ThreeZero VF-1. It combines some of the best things about the Valks that came before it while having its own drawbacks but another one of its strengths is that it might be the best value in all the available VF-1 toys today.

I don’t disagree with the HG hate but also see the other side that most people outside of Japan got introduced to Macross at least initially through Robotech. The Unix Square VF looks aesthetically the worst out of all the options in the last several decades but until we know more about it, I’m giving it a chance. Based on its looks, I feel like they may be going more for playability over looks and if it does end up to be the modern take on the chunky in terms of a hefty figure with simplified for fun transformation, I can justify at least one for my collection. But I also don’t have to worry about choosing as someone just getting back into it as I have plenty of 1/55s, Yamato 1/48s, Yamacadia 1/60’s, plus every HMR and DX release. And those also happen to be what I consider the best VF-1s ever made, all for their unique reasons.

why he comes with an Xbox controller as the lone accessory, I have no idea but his greatest weapons are his Valks so I’m good.
