Hopefully there aren't any of the 1st release Yamato quality failures on these... always a gamble buying or pre-ordering their stuff, and finding out the hard way they couldn't get the shoulders right or something. lol

Love that design. Definitely will look to try to snag this one.

Looks good in robot mode, fantastic in jet mode and stupid as hell in Gerwalk mode.
It looks like a pair of legs with a massive erection in Gerwalk mode! LOL!

that used to be true, but yamato 1st releases have been fantastic in quality for the last several years. very safe buys imo.

Last few. 2008 V2 1/60 VF-1's until the Max Customs, and later the 1st run of the GPB VF-1J bundle and the Super O were prone to busted shoulder hinges.

yeah. i guess you are right, but i view that a bit differently. that was mostly due the the burs on the shoulder pins. not completely exploding shoulders and such. i just popped the pins out on my vf-1's that came with those accursed pins and sanded the burs. i've never had any trouble with them.

all of the 21's, 11's and new 19's have been great. i've had zero trouble out of those.
