You won&#8217;t receive black hands to use with the 1\/48 Stealth or 25th anniversary toys, gray hands for the LowVis, and you only get green hands for the Woodland Camo with the Woodland GBP&#8230;. which is also awkward because it looks like that one should include white hands for use with the standard VF-1 schemes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

As you might imagine, demand for an extra that costs as much as the toy itself (or close to it, 12,000\u00a5) was tepid.\u00a0 Yamato did their best to deliver at that price point packing in loads of feature and heft. The naked 1\/48 scale VF-1 weighs 320 grams, with the armor on it balloons to 920! Yes, this accessory weighs nearly as much as two VF-1 toys! My initial concern that these might become difficult to track down proved wrong; Yamato flooded the market and even reissued the anime colors.\u00a0Yamato retired the 1\/48 line shortly before folding but, with Bandai producing 1\/48 DX VF-1 toys, including the GBP, it&#8217;s unlikely this will become a grail item. The least popular scheme is the Wood Land color, a curious release that could be viewed as supporting one of the less popular VF-1 schemes (though I love the Wood Land VF-1). Yamato should have made a &#8216;mass production&#8217; version of the GBP (I would recommend in a slightly darker tan than the Mass production VF-1A but otherwise like the Nichimo model) and then put 100 aside to be converted into &#8216;Wood Land&#8217; versions by painting camo on the mass production armor and swapping the red accents for green. The most collectable version is the Urban Camouflage color which was produced in limited quantities and became a fan favorite with its intricate color scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-Armor-Anime-Colors-Line-Art-Comparison-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-Armor-Anime-Colors-Line-Art-Comparison-scaled.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-Armor-Anime-Colors-Line-Art-Comparison-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-Armor-Anime-Colors-Line-Art-Comparison-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-Armor-Anime-Colors-Line-Art-Comparison-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-Armor-Anime-Colors-Line-Art-Comparison-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-Armor-Anime-Colors-Line-Art-Comparison-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-Armor-Anime-Colors-Line-Art-Comparison-scaled.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yamato made nearly every part of this armor too large with some parts, like the chest and crotch armor, being outlandish. If you can get past the excessively chunky appearance, this toy is a very imposing display piece.&nbsp;One area that wasn&#8217;t too chunky were the feet, which are drawn very wide when the armor is installed. Yamato captured the look of the fatter feet on their later 1\/60 Version 2 GBP armor which included slide on feet armor parts. Some prefer a more gray look to the armor but Yamato&#8217;s original coloring runs very blue. The toy includes a huge sticker sheet because painted details are lacking but what is here is nicely done. The individual missiles are pre-painted and present well. Detail work within the mold is superb and runs past the superficial to interior parts. I&#8217;m in the camp that believes the shoulder missile pods should sit directly on the shoulder so I wasn&#8217;t a fan of the huge sleeves that exaggerate the shoulder size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Wood-Land-Prototype-Upscale.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" data-id=\"19041\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Wood-Land-Prototype-Upscale.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Wood-Land-Prototype-Upscale.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Wood-Land-Prototype-Upscale.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Wood-Land-Prototype-Upscale.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Wood-Land-Prototype-Upscale.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Wood-Land-Prototype-Upscale.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-5-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" data-id=\"19042\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-5-scaled.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-5-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-5-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-5-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-5-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-5-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-5-scaled.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-7-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" data-id=\"19085\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-7-scaled.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-7-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-7-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-7-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-7-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-7-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anymoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Yamato-1-48-GBP-WoodLand-Color-7-scaled.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not a fan of the Wood Land color GBP. Covering one of the more beautiful VF-1 iterations (the Low Vis Wood Land Color VF-1A) in any armor is ridiculous to me. The Wood Land prototype had bright green shoulders and abdominal armor which were replaced with &#8220;mass production&#8221; beige in the final product.&nbsp;Yamato originally proposed a red chest and arm stripes but those were replaced with a chocolate brown. Unfortunately, that splash of bright green and red were the only things that livened up the WLC GBP and it appears dull without them.&nbsp;So this accessory gives you the ability to convert a beautiful VF-1 into a dull one. There&#8217;s a subset that will view this armor favorably as a realistic take on army colors. The biggest issue with putting the WLC GBP on other VF-1 toys is the inclusion of green hands. Most Valkyries look peculiar with green hands. Yamato should have included white and black hands as well. This version of the armor also includes color-matched green missiles. Since the missiles are stowed internally, green missiles seem silly and make open missile bay displays look less visually interesting. I think Yamato should have released a mass production version of the GBP armor (which could have been the same green or a shade of brown but retaining the white and red accents) and put a few aside to paint a camo pattern on to sell separately as a Wood Land variant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex

impressive than the Yamato version but Yamato gets very high marks for doing as well as they did on a mass produced product. While the original custom is very clearly badged as being from the Prometheus, Yamato suggested mixed Prometheus and ARMD markings. None of the markings are painted on so you can choose whatever origin craft works best for you. Note, I&#8217;ve seen people complain that their armors have yellowed over the years with the white parts now looking gray but the parts some might expect to be white (shoulder bays and ab armor) were always light gray.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

The crotch armor should have also locked more firmly in position as it can be easily jostled when handling. I also had issues with the right exterior lower leg armor not latching firmly which could lead to gaps. There were some complaints about the quality of the paint job on the leg armors of the WLC variant; there&#8217;s a black ring around the leg that sometimes has visual flaws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the armor is very solid, be careful to NOT pick up the toy by the backpack and the boosters attached to the backpack. The backpack hinge on the VF-1 is a known weak point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Takatoku through Yamato Grenade Box Protection Heavy Armor for the VF-1 Evolution\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_XpKKpqzYM4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The toy inside the armor will retain a decent range of movement which is quite the feat when one considers how much additional bulk that toy is now carrying around.&nbsp;Leg mobility at the hip, both outward and forward back are impaired.

Yamato used that extra scale to evolve the accessory giving us individual missiles, concealed hinges, multi-part construction, and a chest bay with the missile slider. This was the first GBP accessory for any toy line I ever considered a &#8216;must own&#8217;. Yamato later revisited the GBP for their V2 1\/60 line of VF-1 toys.
