Most accurate Valk toy for you?

[aurance]

This is just for fun and highly subjective. No wrong answers.

Which Valk toy that you own, in your opinion, is the most accurate representation of its on-screen presence?

For me it's the DX VF-25 renewals. Still a favourite in my small collection.

Probably the 1/60 VF-1 v2. I only own yamatos. I can bet Bandai new 1/48 is a bit better. Is one of the models that happens to not be affected a lot by anime magic. Like the YF-21, those skinny legs are just awful.

[HardlyNever]

In terms of screen-to-toy accuracy, I think the VF-31 is hard to beat.  Not my favorite design, but definitely screen accurate.

I would have to go with the VF-31 toy being the most accurate

 My choice would be version 1 vf-25.

Naw, actually VF-31 for my choice as well.

The VF-25 and VF-31 (and the VF-27 and SV-262) have the advantage of being based on CG models, unlike the hand-drawn images of the VF-1, VF/YF-19, and YF-21/VF-22.

The 25 renewals and 31 are the most accurate IMO

The GN-U Dou YF-19 remains the best rendition of its battroid mode. The toys based on CG models almost seem like cheating, they're too spot on.

Wait what?!? Isn’t this what we always wanted? 

I mean you can look at what 3P companies taking the anime correct route and delivering some very well executed results.

I would have to say one that comes to mind is the VF-171 Nightmare as it is a great interpretation of it’s CG form to a 3D toy and how it represents itself in totally. Cannon Fodder loaded with nothing but “explodium” that Bandai used to recreate what we saw on the series.

1/55 chunky.

Toynami Masterpiece series. They're a masterpiece of something alright!

Bandai's Hi-Metal R VF-4G.  They absolutely nailed the battroid mode!  Exactly as it appears in the anime.  

What?

You almost had me.

My vote is for the DX VF-31 also, it's the most accurate valkyrie of all. In case of the VF-1 (my favourite model of all) the VF-1 v2 1/60 has a small gunpod (with 1/48's looks better) but still has a very good looking like the bandai's DX.
