I'm among the group that think Yamato toys have gotten better.
"The VF-0 is the exception that confirms the rule"
-The Mac Plus valks were okay (except from the VF 11 with osteoporosis).
-The 1/60 line got better with every release (I do believe the Q-Rau is a great toy, pricey but sculpt-wise it is perfect, and very playable, IMO). My two GBP 1S are perfect, balance well, click and fit very nice (I also think the sculpt is very accurate to the line art).
-The 1/48 line, what can I say!! (I'll only can nitpick in certain areas where I like the proportions of the 1/60 better, such as length and bulk of the arms and a sleeker nosecone and canopy, again IMHO).
Now, the König Monster will leave us speechless (if it doesn't, I have no problem to be stoned to death for this assumption ). It's an intricate design and I believe Yamato has pulled it off "almost" reaching perfection. I disagree with people on the other thread that don't like it's battroid mode. It is as good as a 3D model can be (I'm open to discussion). I don't get how people say that it does not resemble the line art in this mode.
Is it as off, as a Toynami MPC to the VF 1 series? Please, don't answer yes to this one.
Talking about QC, there are some issues now and then. Some acceptable some not, but all in all I think Yamato passed the exam.
Should Yamato sit back and relax? Hell no!!!! There is always room for improvement
Well, that's my 0,02 cents for all that matters.
