Nice soft lights : shadows are smooth, looks like a radiosity CGI render Not really striking a pose, but I did find a base to hold all the glass to my display to make more space for my collection. A few 1/48's and GBP armors are packed away, and I have the 1/48 TV Max on the way. Great display... Not affraid of the sun comin' through the store ? I will soon finish my display too and I also have to build some custom window boxes to hang on the wall VF in plane mode : the idea is to put them alone in a unique window frame like those butterflies frames... s24.postimg.org/exjk9hhth/Macross_frame.jpgI also need a damn good camera !!!

and here it be, my very first "proper" 1/55 VF-1. to the contrary of some respected opinions out there, this 2001 reissue can indeed achieve GERWALK without shoulders canted at extreme outboard angles, just the same as the original 80's releases can; it is a very good quality reissue, especially for a 21st century product. it feels a little loose in some ways, when directly compared to my 1984 TF JETFIRE version, but that is largely corrected by dogging down the screws throughout. with all the factory printed placarding, and it's crystal clear legibility, i'd say this reissue, while perhaps not QUITE as high a quality in it's materials overall, is vastly superior to any previous 1/55 edition, for pretty much any interested party besides the hardcore vintage collector. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I have the same Bandai valk, got it loose & cheap but it still in good condition. Love that 1J Valk, thats where my Macross collection all started about a decade ago.

a loose TF JETFIRE with a missing arm was where my transforming VF-1 toy collection started, right around 1999/2000, the worst time ever to be looking for original japanese market 1/55 VF-1s. at that time, i knew about, and desperately desired, an Ichijo VF-1J T.V. and/or Focker VF-1S, even the almighty 1984 Ichijo VF-1S STRIKE, especially the STRIKE at the time. with the prices ballooned as they were then, however, i dared not entertain the faintest hope of owning even one of them in even the poorest physical condition. today, i've a collection i could have only imagined in my wildest fantasies back then, and have somehow along the way ended up growing fondest of the Ichijo VF-1J T.V. and have been consciously driving toward a complete collection of transforming Ichijo VF-1J T.V. toys from all throughout the ages, 1982/PRESENT DAY. i'd say i've a solid foundation so far. i might wish to add a YAMATO 1/48, TAKATOKU 1/100, BANDAI HI-METAL 1/100, and perhaps the IMAI VARIABLE TYPE 1/72 model kit to round it all out, but i think i could just as easily stop right here and call it a day, indeed i might even be wise to do so;
