Demon_seed_22 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 This is a newbie question. I did try to find the answer in the newbie pinned boards with no luck. What's the difference between the Origin of V. 1/55 and the macross 1/55? I know the OoV were released in 2008 as a reissue. I through the were re makes issues of the orig tatakuas..? I'm not sure when the other was released. What I'm most curious about is the differences in the toys...??? Here's a example of each of I didn't describe clearly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251220760155?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/360575715205?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Origin of Valkyrie came after the initial re-releases of the 1/55 Takatoku molds by Bandai....they are essentially the same....both have minor improvements over the original Takatoku releases. The Origin of Valkyrie release included a vf-1j tv, vf-1s tv, vf-1a Hikaru dyrl with fast packs, and a first ever vf-1a max dyrl with fast packs. The previous Bandai re-issues included: vf-1j tv, vf-1s tv, vf-1a standard tv, Max vf-1j tv, Milia vf-1j tv, dyrl Hikaru vf-1a, and vf-1s tv with super pack And before these....there was a funky headed Bandai vf-1s tv with fast packs....around 1989 or 1990....

GXPT2000 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I would love to see the funky headed version for once.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connor99 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I would love to see the funky headed version for once.. I second that. Would be nice if we can get a re-ish of the DYRL 1S HIKARU too, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's this one. http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/_bandai_super_vf1s.htm It has a rounded face instead of the flat one Found this review http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/1990/vf1s_super_valkyrie_roy_focker_special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yep...that's the funky headed one I was referring too....the only worse VF-1S head sculpt is arguably the Henkei or Yamato V1.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_seed_22 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks for the info. I orig thought I wanted a OoV but now I guess either will do. Anyone have a Roy version to part with?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Origin of Valkyrie VF-1S is the hardest one to get....and is usually priced higher....unless you are a dead set on it...it would be easier and less expensive to get the Bandai VF-1S re-issue from 2001...

I'd say the Toynami 1/100 VF-1S has the worse head sculpt.
