initial releases had shoulder pins with burrs on one end that tended to crack the hinge upon transformation. heck some folks even had cracked shoulders right out of the box.

It was more prominent on the VF-1S. Mine had a hairline crack that I thought was just a mold line but it eventually grew and I realized it really was a crack. My VF-1A Super Hikaru had a cracked hinge right out of the box. Remedied both by applying super glue and moving the hinges while the glue tried so that the hinges would not be glued to the metal. Everything is fine so far but I still worry that they will break eventually. It's been months but so far, so good. The upcoming Strike reissues should also have the new crotch piece installed(seen on the recent ELINT Seeker). Since Bandai has YET to release the "DYRL? trio" I might settle for the upcoming Strike Hikaru w/flashlight. I love the new 1/60 VF-1's, some of the most toyetic VF-1 toys that Yamato has made. Hinge issues aside, they are more solid than previous releases and definitely hand candy. |

Yep, every release aside the VF-1D before the Max types were released was prone to cracks eventually.
