Bots & Bits, I enjoyed your reviews of the Valkyrie Factory VF-1's, hope you can continue with the others that they have already put out along with future releases, whatever those may be.

Cheers mate happy to hear you enjoyed them. Im hanging out for the Pods VF teased. I don't really know anything about the VF31J, so im not sure about getting that one. Looks incredible though.

show z store is the only shop I can think of with Valkyrie factory listings and they have it listed at $140. I don’t think that includes shipping 

Free shipping in USA

Just off the top of my head... The shoulders never seemed properly locked in place in GERWALK or Battroid mode.  They appear very low in Battroid and too far back in GERWALK.  The leg fins are folder over in GERWALK or Battroid mode.  The door behind the head was not properly recessed in Battroid mode which is why you got pressure/rubbing into the paint of your tail fins.  The right side cavity filler for Battroid mode is practically falling out in the last 4 minutes of the video.

They just stood out to me.

After some thought, It could very well be that it is the fault of the transformation instructions of the KO.

The KO has no instructions
The shin fins are folded over in both modes.
During the shoulder transformation in my video @ 10:28 for Guardian.  Assuming the Youtuber 'ScorchedEarth Toys' Arcadia reviews are correct, then mine is in the correct position. The extreme tightness of the shoulder ballsocket flexes the transformation hinge on its rotation pin. If that's what you're referring to, I discuss that in the video.
I didn't realise the shoulder pads shimmy up for Battroid. I think that's your problem with the shoulders looking low.
I didn't realise the air brake could be recessed.
Yes, the side fillers are falling out. The tabs do not hold them in firmly (I discuss it in the video) I think this is because the diecast hip hinge on mine is backwards, and does not allow the chest to collapse fully.
Yes my product knowledge is limited, I didn't know any of this existed until the KO popped up for sale.

If you end up watching my video again, please let me know if you notice something incorrect.
I'll be chucking up a vid of the Blue KO as soon as its released.

I would skip or ignore the "Bots & Bits" review as the reviewer has next to zero product knowledge.  He has the thing totally mis-transformed throughout the entire review.  The BensKOllectables is better but neither will compare that KO against an actual Arcadia/Yamato.

Anyway here are some MW Member reviews from last October/November (page 21 & 22 of this topic).

 

 

I'm considering getting one if I can get it on a sale for an office toy.  Just gotta be patient.  They sold out the other day when it was $9 off.

Which parts were misstransformed through the entire video?

Brutal that the swing bar part was put in backwards.

Great review. When the sultry music leading to the bedroom scene came on my wife was like WTF but we just laughed. Thanks for the great laugh. Your review made me glad I bought the Hikaru versión DYRL Strike.

Just remember that’s a Valkyrie you just reviewed and converts from Fighter to GERWALK to Battroid. 

Welcome to MW.

Haha! Glad you liked it

I'm a saturday morning Robotech kid through and through, they'll always be Veritechs to me
I don't know much about the figure releases though, so I thought i'd make more mistakes than I did :P

Howdy MW, I've just uploaded a video review of the VF KO Roy Focker
