DX VF-1S Roy Armored Valkyrie

[grogall]

I must say, I really like the beast! Although it's a regurgitated VF-1S and a Fantasy GBP-1S, It's still a very plausible kit and looks absolutely stunning!

When I first saw the picture of all the GBP's from 2020, I thought it looked stunning! but never thought it would ever be a thing.... Nice that this Beauty was finale made available! 🤗 now when do we get the Max with GBP-1S? 🤪

Still don't understand why this feature was not given to us in this GBP!? After all the normal colour GBP even came with an extra head! so it wouldn't have broken the bank! 

Only thing I thought it might be a problem is that it wouldn't fit, but that not the case either...😢

So Roy has a special message for Bandai! 😱

lol just saw your little easter egg there

I guess they ditched that feature because they'd also have to make a space helmeted Focker figure as well, maybe there wasn't time for development for whatever reason.

But it's also not a feature used in space, It's for getting in and out of the Valkerie in Battroyd mode, so no space helmet needed! Bandai was just being lazy 😉

I agree that they should have included the raised seat.  I guess technically, Hikaru is shown getting into the Armored VF-1J in the space helmet,

I thought once they left earth, all the space scenes with valks had the pilots with the space helmet, only the earth/atmospheric episodes had the open faced helmets.
Of course I could be completely wrong and will be the first to admit it, but that is what is etched in my old memory.

Crack in the canopy during battle in space without the enclosed helmet has a very different end result 😛

They don't use a closed helmet all the time when they are in space.

Hikaru closes his helmet just before battle in ep 27 

And in ep 24 Max and the other dude are walking in the hangar without helmet. 

Hikaru maybe for an unknown reason was wearing his helmet closed while rushing to board the VF-1J

Honestly not really sure either! Wasn't really meant to be super accurate back then, Since it was Teenage entertainment, but Hikaru had better open up that helmet since he's getting no air and is turning blue! 🥶

Bandai STILL got the grey toooo dark on the DX release GBP Armor....Mind you it's still waaaay better than Yamato/Arcadia did with the dark blue...😆
