Comment on Toynami 1/55 Alpha and Beta vs. CMs 1/48 (not really) Legioss and Tread by nikodiablo

I just got my CMS Legioss + TLEAD + upgrade parts a week ago, and once I found out that the nose can actually lock, I’m really enjoying these toys!

If you use the newly provided link block and transform the Legioss into fighter mode with the shoulder missile pod (spread arms), the connection will be really tight since the end of the arm thrusters are propped by the TLEAD’s chest covers. I can even do barrel rolls with it, and although I didn’t do it for an extended period of time, the Legioss did not fall off of the docking connection.

There are some issues with the Legioss not locking when transformed or the TLEAD being not really in scale with the Legioss (unless TLEADs are supposed to be piloted by small children), but I believe the real issue of this set is the pricing. However, since the prices have dropped off practically everywhere, it’s quite justifiable, as the upgrade parts do improve the look, and provide better docking connection.

Just checked. The VF-1D Virgin road does have the improve hinge for the t-bar, making it a v2.1.

In my opinion this IS the best 1:60 Ver 2 Yamato has put out to date. I wasn’t all that pumped up about it until I got it out of the box and began to discover all the cool little parts and pieces. The amount of Tampo, the overall different look of the Valk itself, fit and finish, and all the cool parts make this THE new benchmark for 1:60 Ver 2’s. Panel lined and slightly weathered, this thing looks absolutely incredible.

This is the first time I ever leave a comment in one of your reviews (and I been lurking over here since forever) but I HAD to do it for this one… Beautifull piece no doubt, DROOLLLL big time… I hope too that this one is keepinkg the QC issues at bay, and that this will mark the new standar for Yamato´s next releases. The only complaint is the color difrences tween the lineart and the final model. Why haven´t they ever realese this in their original colors, bandai has been the one that was close to mark, whit such beatiful combination of orange, grey and blue… but anyway, maybe I´m nitpicking… Excelent review as always…

Hi! Thanks for your reviews, like many others I found them very useful to chose which toys I should get.
I just got 2 v2 VF-1 toys by Yamato : a VF-1A with super parts and a VF-1D.
The shoulders had cracks after the first transformation on the VF-1A and the prismatic coating inside the canopy had some rubbing off. It’s still a great toy anyway, I wish you can put a special review someday like a “how to fix the VF-1 shoulders yourself”, that would be great.
The VF-1D is perfect so far.

Kinda wished they painted it like the line art, would’ve been more attractive! Btw, u didn’t seem to put on the “bull’s eye” sticker for the super parts

Thanks for the review. Love the detail of this badboy. =) Your toy/art comparisons are the coolest thing.

Thanks for all your always detailed reviews. I own three VF-1. A VF-1A Max TV version, VF-1J Cannon Fodder and the Low Vis VF-1S. So far I did not have any problems with the shoulders in any of them even with frequent transformations. And I have my Max VF-1A displayed on my work station and I transform it almost every day to the point that it faded some of the paints parts(legs & tail fin). I was even a bit rough in transforming it. Still the shoulders does not show any problems. Only problem I had was with the hip connector that was thankfully rectified on the LowVis. I just hope that they release a VF-1J GBP with a Ver2.1 VF-1J.

You know what the funny thing is, I always thought my box was sorta faded with a blue-ish/green-ish tint (VF-1S Super/Strike, non-Anniversary box), but now that I’ve seen yours, it has the same kinda strange faded/non-color corrected packaging.
