Agent ONE Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I have to say, after being away for 2.5 years and to see the original Takatuko design still being made, just thrills me. Good for Bandai. Such a solid toy.. And I am not even into the toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcroRay Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Wow - I'm REALLY happy with what I'm seeing there. Certainly, its a new product only made from repaint & redeco, but to see this toy still going strong after a couple of decades is just a joy for me. I like the box graphics as well, with the column of dates of past releases. I want that logo set on a T-shirt. "Since 1982 Origin of Valkyrie." Now THAT's a classic toy if there ever was one - classed right there with the Big Wheel, and the like. Edited September 7, 2008 by AcroRay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonz Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 the 1J hikaru is a must get for me. the reissue doesn't have a heat shield and now they have got it right. damn...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wonderful release, I love mine. I had a lot of fun taking the time to sticker it up. The only thing I don't like is that one of the wings is a little loose. It ratchets fine sweeping back and forth, but in battroid mode, when its swept all the way back, if you lean it towards the side, it moves a few centimeters or so. No big deal though. The heat shield makes more difference than I thought, I'm glad this version has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Did any of the 2001 reissues have heat shields? I'm under the impression none of them did but all of these "origin" valkyries will? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 The head of the VF-1J seems low and the chin hidden... The chin isn't hidden... it's not there at all! haha. Why is 2007 on the box?

Styrofoam would be nice...but it's soooooo 1980's. And the reason that there is no Minmay or clusters is cause that's the 1A not the 1S Strike. SOON THAT WILL BE OUT......YAAYYYYYYYYY!!!! I don't have to try to keep building mine up....if you perhaps......gave me one of yours that would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we did get anything in 2007 at all.....maybe that's when they had this notion off a reissue and they thought they should put in on the box.

Anyways I hope we see the Strike before the end of the year. Bandai showed off a vintage one at a show earlier this year, and the only reason I think they would do that is to show things to come. If they bring back the Strike they will come. By they I mean the fans that have waited for one since the 80's, and either had one but something happened to it, or never had one. I am in the latter category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of us that have not been able to afford one or get a good deal on a nice one have built ours from bits and pieces. I would like to have a brand new beauty in a box and pay like 100 bucks or less for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
