Luclin999 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Sorry if this has been asked before but I have several of the v1 1/60 valks including the strike/super armor sets and was wondering if I purchase a v2 if the armor can be used on these as well.

BlueMax Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The dimensions between the v1s and v2s are kinda different. It would take extensive modding to make them fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 somebody did it when the v2 1/60's first came out. iirc, they had to gut the interior of of the v.1 armor parts then fill them with modeling putty or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not worth it then. I guess I'll have to shop around for at least a set or two of the ver.2s which come with the armor. (this is what I get for buying all of my 1/48th and 1/60th valks and then ignoring the market for a couple of years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super/strike. Personally I've never liked the look of the GBP armor enough to want it. Here is a side question - I have heard that people say the first run of the Ver.2 VF-1S valks had quality issues. Does that extend to the VF-1S Max movie version that was released last April as well? Because this was the ver.2 I was interested in getting from HLJ before their sale ends.

I've got it and mines fine. the very first release VF-1S focker and Hikaru's had issues with their shoulder hinges breaking. by the VF-1S Max it was 100% fixed.

Thank you. It's good to know that and which ones I may have to avoid picking up. Pity though, as the VF-1S Focker and Hikaru were the other two I was considering. I guess I just have to hope that they reissue them further down the road with better QC on the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luclin999 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Well I went ahead and ordered the VF-1S Movie Max from HLJ this afternoon. If the figure lives up to all the hype surrounding the ver.2 1/60s then I'll probably look at picking up those Plus series reissues of the Focker and Hikaru VF-1S valks as well. (and maybe the TV VF-1A Max) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
