Macross DX Chogokin VF-1J Armored Valkyrie Hikaru Ichijo Use Armored Parts Set for VF-1J Review

[@blamos86]

Fantastic walkthrough. My big boy is all set in his display case and looking FIERCE 😎🤘🏻

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

I have him on display as well. This and VF-1S Roy are the most definitive valkyries of the Macross series.

[@kalobhunt9001]

That pilot looked really excited about his new armor upgrade. Lol watch that right hand.

[@franciscomazzini7]

Exactly what version of the VF-1J matches the armored parts set? Could you specify as clearly as possible. Thank you!

[@kalobhunt9001]

I just scored me an original g1 jet fire the other day complete in the box.

[@kalobhunt9001]

if I ever get a macross figure I want that yellow one you have there with the cross bones on it.

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

That would be the VF-1S Roy Fokker ;)

[@kalobhunt9001]

@@OptimusPrimeSG yes i love the look of that one.

i know this is a late reply but what was that tinking noise, 3:47

Great review..!!!!!!!!!

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

Thank you :)

[@vinzent365]

Is this set can use with Movie edition VF-1S Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo use) ?

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

I think it can, though I never try it. I know for sure the armor can't fit for the VF-1D because its chest plate is of a different design.

[@zackdiamond1037]

Colors aside, does the armor fit on the 1s and 1D?

[@cathyhwang2211]

Would this 1J armor set fit any DX VF-1S (like the Fokker one you showed in your video)?

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

Yes it would fit the 1S and 1A but I read somewhere that it will not fit the 1D

[@toyshanger8945]

You could swap out the 1A head and make it like 1J armor

[@8474Starscream]

Charles!

[@kalobhunt9001]

What was in the big box? The figure and the armor like a set box??

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

Yes, the robot and armor in a box set :)

[@fss779]

Is the lose nose cone issue sorted out in this version of the 1J vs the original?

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

The nose cone for mine seems decently tight. Does not open or drop at the slightest touch.

[@raymondha8516]

this one dont come with the stand???

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

The stand only comes as a first press limited item for the 1J.

[@damienpua1977]

Anyone can advise if this armour also fits on VF-1S too?

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

It will fit the 1S :)

[@damienpua1977]

@@OptimusPrimeSG Thanks man. I was planning to get the VF-1J with armour pack as a set.

[@toyshanger8945]

Never expect unlikely. It can happen. The giant fist is horrible, is way too big. I am disappointed Bandai didn’t provide armor fist to hold the gun. Lastly, nobody mentioned that if you missed out on a 1j and you got a 1A you can convert into armor 1J by swapping out the head as all the armor cover most of the bot décor on the front. So is a cheat method if you could not get a 1j

[@anthonywong8903]

Is it 1/48 or 1/60?

[@OptimusPrimeSG]

I am not very sure. Definitely not 1/48. Either 1/60 or 1/72.

[@darryllcoleman5239]

It says 1/48 on the box

[@sidearmsalpha]

This set is underwhelming. I expected more from the DX version. It's not a significant improvement over the original Yamato 1/48 version. The huge hands look so out of place. I know they are meant to resemble the hands from the tv show but they should have included a set of more mechanical ones like the Yamato version which look much better. And you can't even fit the gunpod in the right one. Definitely not worth the asking price. I see them being discounted by the Japanese sellers on eBay.
