I ordered them over a year ago I think... Those must have come and gone super fast, I don't remember seeing those ever being offered.

Axelay Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I gave in and bought a KO Max super VF-1J. Although I have never had any of my official Valkyries do this, one of the landing gear doors broke on my KO... Not sure it can be easily fixed.

I am still on the fence about buying these. They look great and these KOs have nice shelf presence. Can you share pictures of the break?

borgified Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Paging @Slave IV on the link above. I know that you want one in your collection since that other person has not attempted one after posting too many of his anime figures on one of our other threads.

I have felt like this particular Valkyrie has required a bit more force to transform than I usually apply. Some of the joints were VERY tight - especially the chestplate separation into battroid mode. It's pretty unlikely I can repair this landing gear door since it's supposed to be a moving part. There's a big part of me which just feels like I have learned a lesson and will wait to see if Bandai will do a proper DX VF-1J Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I ordered before I posted the link. I’d have to double check but I think I’ve ordered the KO 1/60 Fan Racer and Valkyrie Factory Strike Parts from aliexpress in the past. I’ll checl out their Macross shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The Zentradi Uniform arrived. The zipper is much nicer and not oversized. I haven’t checked how it looks on the 1/60 VF-1A Max yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Well.. the KO company could upscale it for the DX version anyways right @sqidd (that is If they want do want to do the upsized version)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I was wondering if it might fit 1/48 since it is kinda oversized anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 We'll all find out if it will fit the DX plus I have a hunch that @sh9000 will end end up testing the suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1/60 Zent suit will not fit a DX. No matter how hard you try. Best bet is to try and find gear from 1/6 Dragon outfits and make your own.

borgified Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 There's our answer to that question @Slave IV. Back to the drawing board to see if there is someone that will make a upscaled version of the suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 There used to be a member here who made 1/48 scaled suits, but for some reason or another he just up and disappeared from the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Your referring to erikos0311 @nightmareB4macross for those customs. He hasn't been around since May 18, 2018 (according to stats) and who knows what happened to him. https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/40079-custom-scratch-built-160-zentradi-uniform-for-vf-1a-tv-max/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 It wasn’t Erikos (at 1/60)...it was another customer who made actual custom 1/48 Zentradi suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a QC issue with these as my miriya came broken just like yours. I superglued mine and its fine. I can always just recast this part but superglue worked good for me.

Because of the stiffness with how it broke, I have very little confidence that a super glue job would suit this if I ever attempt to open/close the gear doors again. Let me know.

rdrunner Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Just posting a few updated comparisons of the Arcadia Focker SSP armor and the KO Valkyrie Factory set at the request of a fellow MWF member. I have included pics on all the armor parts. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
