Looking forward to the full review! Same here, the transformation guides are always good, but the full reviews are where a glass of scotch or a good beer is worthy.

505thAirborne Posted November 25, 2024 Posted November 25, 2024 (edited) Behold... The Review!! And yes, I have an ice cold Pacifico in hand while watching. Edited November 25, 2024 by 505thAirborne
jenius Posted November 25, 2024 Posted November 25, 2024 Lol, thanks for the compliments. Hopefully the review lives up to expectations! I think my next ThreeZero video will be a direct comparison of the Yamato VF-1J weathering Hikaru vs. the ThreeZero Weathered VF-1J Rick. I'll probably take a break and do some other reviews before coming back to it though.

Although then there’s definitely gonna end up more drunken Macross fans either way
jenius Posted November 25, 2024 Posted November 25, 2024 So I didn't notice the toy had a double knee joint because it was so stiff... after some comments I tried harder and got it to move so I'm going to do a quick edit and upload again.

jenius Posted November 25, 2024 Posted November 25, 2024 Probably needs some time to process before it's available in higher definition but here's the corrected video with the double-jointed knee discussed: Thanks for anyone who left a comment pointing out the issue!

Thanks again for a review! I got mine a couple of weeks ago, but it has never left the package... But you didn't turn the missiles around like in the instructions. 😉

I didn't know about that the other knee joint either, so that is good to know. Great review as always @jenius, I enjoyed both the written and video format.

I'm curious, did anyone get theirs with evenly flushed wings? The one I got is minor but not perfect. Did the weathered version have the same problem? Edited November 25, 2024 by rsvictor1976
jenius Posted November 25, 2024 Posted November 25, 2024 I think mine are flush on both versions... If there not, they're so close I didn't notice.

jvmacross Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 ThreeZero's VF-1 has grown on me....will pick them up as they are released but seems they are not selling out so no rush for me...
jvmacross Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 (edited) The only "DX" toys of the M&M VF-1Js released by Japanese companies without bundled Fast Packs were from Takatoku and the re-releases from Bandai.... A release of these without bundling them with their color-matched Fast Packs would be a very Robotech thing to do.... Edited December 6, 2024 by jvmacross

505thAirborne Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 3 hours ago, jenius said: Still have the goofy elbows. Yeah, those elbows are the only real weak point of these. Otherwise, looks like a solid Valk.
jenius Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 I wonder if the arm armors on super Parts will need to be low profile given how much the arms stick out underneath.
MKT Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 Aside the panel lining, the paint on Rick's 1J give off a nice impression of painted metal like real jets. The M&M 1J continues this impression under that display lighting and looks lovely.
rsvictor1976 Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 (edited) Not mine, but someone posted this on Facebook. I guess it's out now in Hong Kong. I like the head sculp on this toy. https://www.facebook.com/groups/MacrossFanCentral/permalink/2314774362216644/ Edited December 20, 2024 by rsvictor1976
mcfly50 Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 Yeah. Got my shipping notice from ThreeZero.

MKT Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 I never had issues with the 1J head sculpt, but here the 1S has a rather long face. Looks weird but then again it does look pretty anime accurate lol.

Pictures here will have to do in the meantime. I'm liking the head sculpt too. Edited December 21, 2024 by m0n5t3r
mcfly50 Posted December 28, 2024 Posted December 28, 2024 (edited) First impressions, no change in any function or improvements from the VF-1J that I can tell as of yet (Wish the arm tabs were a different design). Paint looks great and figure has same heft and quality feel to it. I think it’s good Roy. 😁 (Bandai DX is still king…but I like it) Edited December 28, 2024 by mcfly50
