Valkyrie Factory 1/60 VF1S KO Arcadia in depth REVIEW

[@BotsandBits]

Want one?? GET ONE! From long time supporters ShowZ Store! showzstore.com/c/valkyrie-factory_0548 Also, the Rick Hunter VF1S Strike Valkyrie Hikaru Ichijo Style has been released!!! Get one at ShowZ Store. Jet mode note: The vent covers are removable, it's very frustrating to do. I forgot to include it.

[@90lancaster]

Any plans to get a Playmax MF25 Valkyrie when it is out (in Jan 2019 - I think)? www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/over-oversized-mpp10.1152610/page-44#post-16216586

[@BotsandBits]

@@90lancaster ah, your message changed. I cannot afford it. If Plamax would like me to promote it, i'll take a look ^_^

[@joezamora7882]

It's sold out on Showz Store :( but I buyed mine on Ebay; it took a while because all the shipments are delayed due the pandemic, but finally after 2 months it arrived yesterday and now I'm like a 6 years old boy playing with the legendary "Skull One"

[@TrayChester01]

Finally, a review of this thing in English! ShowZ is too expensive though. There are better prices at Taobao.

[@zwierzq]

Can you please provide link to taobao?

[@texasbeast239]

Should point out that here Roy wears his white space suit from the Macross movie DYRL. But during the TV show he only wore a gray flight suit, to help distinguish him from the other characters. From a military logistics POV, it never really made any sense for the characters to wear differently colored uniforms. Distinctive helmets and patches would be more realistic and practical. But meh, it was a TV cartoon and they took traditional liberties to keep things visually clear for viewers.

[@BotsandBits]

More recolours, more toys ^_^

[@thehobbyist1162]

I’m getting the original one for the cheap from yahoo Japan and the display base from Mandarake Japan still not a bad ko.

[@victorraulsantivanezrodriguez]

It looks awesome. I would love to buy one to put it with my autobots, because it was the original Jetfire

[@deadmangarcia]

Got mine today. Awesome!

[@E15E5]

Thats a pretty solid effort... even better than many yamato or arcadia flawed figures or qc slips, amazing

[@galacticmouth]

You took it to a whole new level with the love scene.lol

[@acoote1701]

Tempted to get this and the Max and Miriya VF-1J's from Valkryie Factory

[@BotsandBits]

Max review coming soon. Its better than this :)

[@mariakhaneladejesus-saplal7741]

Are the tabbing errors mentioned in the robot mode also present in the original Yamato version or just in this KO? Nice review by the way. Thanks.

[@frankmarzig1972]

this mold was my favorite as G1 skyfire/jetfire because of the articulation. wish I still had that toy.

[@bulldogfightingforfreedom]

This is the perfect version and size. The 1/48 recent release by Bandai is just too huge. 1/60 is the ideal size

[@randywatson8347]

I still have the Yamato one in box.

[@texasbeast239]

After the bedroom scene, jump to the nose gear mishap: 6:45-6:51 *Boom-chicka bow-bow.* 9:37-9:51 *Thud-thud-thud* *Nervous laughter* "Oh, God. Why did THAT come off? That's just friction in there. Yeah, all right. Never had THAT happen before. Hopefully never again." (So to speak.)

[@robertonline6543]

I'm curious do you have the kids logic version? If so, would this be a better version?

[@dotaallstars8172]

This was funny. Although I don't necessarily agree with your conclusion (not quite worth it for the price, considering the arcadia was 30 bucks more expensive for better tolerances and materials), I appreciate the review.

[@BotsandBits]

If Arcadia reissue this then for sure. But atm I can't seem to find one for less than $300AUD -_-

[@StarlightNightflame]

1/60? That looks almost exactly the same size as 1/100 kits (at least the 1/100 Gundam I have in front of me atm), no way is that 1/60. So thanks for this, it looks nice and I was thinking about buying it but using your hands for scale helped inform my decision - just not big enough for what I'm looking for :)

[@BotsandBits]

Same size as the Arcadia 1/60 and Yamato 1/60. Maybe theyre different to other brands.

[@SandroArias]

A Vf-1 valkyrie and a Gundam are not the same size "in the real world", a Gundam is bigger, so if you have an 1/100 valkyrie and 1/100 gundam, the gundam would be bigger, if you have 1/60 valkyrie and 1/100 gundam, the valkyrie would be bigger but not for that much.

[@Dank-lk2mk]

Scales are affected by real inlore sizes as you may know by now penelope is bigger than the average 1/100 gundam while crossbone is smaller than most 1/144 scale figures and that’s why inlore their sizes are different

[@9833000]

I just checked out the prices on these, they're staggering for what you get in return. If WeiJiang can create a 14 inch MP-10 Optimus Prime for $90, why is this thing $130-$160?

[@chucheeness7817]

Coz the Arcadia one is crazy expensive and they just made it half the price?

[@newsteadyjlf76john47]

4:21 you should place the cockpit the other way round. then it wont fall

[@BotsandBits]

Aaaaaaahh thank's a lot for that

[@ArionRDAW]

Roy Fokker, the legend of Pineapple Salad.

[@texasbeast239]

"Pinu Salad" ;)

[@EpykkDyzastur]

I’ve just woken up to this awesomeness!

[@2007suprasport]

Love these KO's , wow! You said Rick Hunter. Thank you for reminding me gotta subscribe to your IG. By the way thank you for the video on the KFC adapter ultra Delta Magnus for the Commander Reximus prime. Imo it really does complete the fig. As always great review :0)

[@BotsandBits]

Thanks a lot :) Jream makes some cool 3d printed bits for bots :P

[@parcelohssa2243]

Of course he said Rick Hunter. After Fokker died, Rick became the pilot of the VF-IS. :-)

[@BotsandBits]

He mentions it because really, this is a Macross toy not Robotech, and it's expected I say ichijo hikaru. But I'm 80's Robotech kid through & through ^_^

[@MonsieurToys]

I love how you edit your review. Great job ! Just subbed :) where did you find the simple lighting effect at 0:22 ?

[@BotsandBits]

You mean that pop? It's some free overlay. I can't remember exactly where I got it.

[@spacepirateshobbies9426]

Good video review. Just subbed.

[@BotsandBits]

Thanks for supporting B&B ^_^

[@deadmangarcia]

Which do you think is better? This one? Or the kitz concept 1/72?

[@BotsandBits]

Not sure mate, I haven't seen the Kitz Concept release

[@nuwanda9455]

Kitzconcept so far

[@atomD21]

Whoa whoa whoa! Roy Fokker DIES?! SPOILER Alert next time! It's only been 35 years since Robotech (Macross) came out!

[@MegaroadProducciones]

It was a good video, until you mention Rick Hunter. It may be something new to you, but in Arcadia there is no version of Rick Hunter, nor Robotech. You may want to investigate further the differences between Macross and Robotech, in order to make a review in context.

[@BotsandBits]

Another one LOL!

[@randywatson8347]

Affordable KO

[@marioever87]

Metal parts?

[@BotsandBits]

The swing bars between the hips and back are die cast.

[@robertonline6543]

Wow....everyone always mentions Roy's death...what about poor ben? Lol

[@takyanlee4733]

I bough this Val Factory from Taiboo, and i won't recommend if you are affordable for an arcadia / yamato..……

[@ambushrein6796]

Nice review I won’t be getting this thanks

[@fjmadness69]

06:44 ROFL

[@MikelRChannel]

Reason why legit toy companies go out in business 😣 coz KO are close to the original and half the price. But still not a good reason to buy them😫

[@ΧρήστοςΤριανταφύλλου-η9ι]

Companies Like Takara overprice their figures, take a look at their upcoming Masterpiece Optimus Prime, preorder at 450 dollars. 450! Guess what's gonna happen when the KO comes out

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

The official version is one of the most expensive figures in my collection.

[@BotsandBits]

I always wanted the official, it's beautiful. I'm priced out of that, so this is the next best thing ^_^

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

@@BotsandBits Now MP-44 is going to take over that position in my collection. :)

[@hiifeewong2459]

OMG~~ha ha ha......

[@ForgedHorizons]

Robotech. Cringe. This version wasn't even in that pirated show.

[@ViewpointProd]

Stop calling it a fucking "veritech", it's a Valkyrie

[@BotsandBits]

I also said Rick Hunter instead of Hikaru. Fire up son!

[@stephaniemckeever3943]

Please stop refering to this as a veritech and guardian. This is a k.o. of an arcadia MACROSS item.acrdia do NOT make 'robotech' items.

[@BotsandBits]

Never watched Macross. 80's Robotech child through & through ^_^

[@stephaniemckeever2827]

T

[@stephaniemckeever2827]

There is a reason the company have valkrie in their name and not veritech...that al8ne should tell you this is macross and not robotech...and like I said it is a k.o. of a MACROSS item...this has nothing to do with robotech plus what you refered to as the rick hunter version is actually labled as the pilot as hikaru Ichijyo so again a MACROSS reference.

[@parcelohssa2243]

Macross fans are such babies. It's his toys. He can call it a Veritech or Valkyrie. It can be Robotech or Macross. And either would be correct.

[@scorpionstinger4723]

Actually far from it, it CLEARLY says macross on the box and not robotech.....and robotech is NOT the same as macross.....super dimension calvary cross which became 'robotech masters' and genises mospedia climber which became 'robotech the new generation" have NOTHING to do with macross and NONE of the other macross movies /tv series such as macross zero, macross plus, macross frontier or macross delta were NEVER and NEVER will be part of the robotech universe.
