Hi.


If you have one of the new (well, new as of this time of writing, at least) Revoltech VF-1S models to show off, please do so here!


For my part:


--------------------------


I got my VF-1S yesterday - or as I like to call it, the Phoenix Hawk LAM... er, I mean, Pre-Fire!










The flight mode has no landing gear, the finicky little stand doesn't seem to like trying to hold it up, and you have to be careful with the wings lest they pop off.









A comparison to Classics Jetfire, the latter without his extra bits and bobs.



(Note the clear plastic stand, as well as the little box for storing variant limbs et al.)







This time, alongside both Classics Jetfire (with full weapons loadout) and Titanium Jetfire, for comparison's sake.









I didn't bother with the gerwalk mode, so I skipped straight to battroid - and yes, I skipped replacing the canopy, too.

The little thing is quite fiddly to operate. Some of the joints and fold-away-able pieces (like the ones which ordinarily attach the arms to the backpack in plane mode, but are supposed to be folded away beneath the wrists otherwise) range from annoying to very annoying to try and get a handle on.

It doesn't seem to be nearly as sturdy as a battroid than as a plane, either.







More comparison pics.

(The pieces one would need to re-paint to Jetfire-ify the figure seem reasonable enough - though I'd not be quite so sure about a more ambitious project, like trying to do a Dark Skyfire or Shattered Glass Jetfire out of it.)


All told, it's a nice plane, a wonky battroid, and a (hopefully) serviceable basis for Transformification.

I saw these in person when they were on display in Akihabara Japan. I really got to take a good look at the first 2. I was plesently surprised that they were as good as they looked. Kudos on the good figure!

So what buy it? skip it? Are the joints secure? (not loose)

Got one of these a couple of days ago. Everything's wonky in my opinion. Nothing seems to sit right when it's transformed into Battroid mode.

Looks fine in plane mode and I sit it next it's non-transforming counterpart. If I'd gotten some previous experience with it, gotten to handle it before purchase, I probably wouldn't have though.

The wings seem to pop off whenever a small breeze passes by it. ;/
