tbh, the Tomahawk armor makes it better. Not good, but better.

Their idea of trying to kitbash a Destroid with a VF-1 was likely ripped-off from R-Area....

However, the original attempts first appeared during SDFM-era publications....the concept was then brought back decades later in Macross The First....

It's too bad that its first attempt as an actual toy is turning out a complete eyesore....

Almost certainly... they did basically the exact same thing with the Tomahawk beam cannons.

What was done back in SDFMI-era publications didn't really go much beyond giving the VF-1 a Destroid's arm cannon for a gunpod or sticking the Tomahawk's gun clusters in place of the Armored Pack's chest missile launchers.

Sticking whole Destroid body parts on a VF as a FAST Pack was something we didn't really see prior to Macross Ace and Macross the First when the Macross's chief engineer started to get weird about FAST packs.

Yeah, still not good. Looks like the legs are having a tough time holding its weight despite being extra thick

These line of VFs actually look worse in color compared to when they were still in grey mold. I remember thinking this of the base 1J, and now this Tomahawk armored 1J. It's as if the color magnifies all the ugly detailing even more.

That usually goes the other way. I often see an uncolored prototype and it usually will look far more impressive once all the colors are added to it. This thing in the other hand just gets uglier and uglier

(Let's try this again, since my first post vanished...)

An already ugly rendition of the VF-1 with a poorly thought out connection for the legs and shoulders and proportions that make the fighter and gerwalk modes look somewhere between hideous and clownish gets armor nobody asked for.

Hard pass for me... doubly so now with this.

Eunuchs Square don’t have the 🏀⚽️s to tell you how things are going 

[rsvictor1976]

I don’t know if this is gonna on sale at all. There seems to be a good following for it, the recent 1S release preorder was sold out. Although I don’t know who’s buying them since I never see any posts about it on any of the typical social media fan sites.

Clearly , they thought -hey the vf-2 legs don't quite tuck under so good , in most renditions, so it must be ok..

Sold out where?  Seems readily available on several retail sites on the web...You beter hurry and get your hands on one ASAP!!!!....

[jenius]

They may be making just enough of them to sell to the Robotech fans that will buy one of everything (and I'm not making fun of those people, I'm kind of stuck in that group but even I haven't bought one of these yet). That would also explain why they think they can charge so much for them.

I missed the VF-1S pre-order but I`ll keep track on VF-1A CF, once pre-order is open.

I remember seeing an update somewhere that the A-Action range has been cancelled, which honestly isn't that surprising considering the intended prices.
