This is one of the best-made action-figures I've ever seen. My *highest* recommendation! Just be sure to shop around for the best price- this item can be *expensive*...
...A detailed review of all main sizes & versions of VF-1S...
...5 Stars Toynami 1/55 Masterpiece-... My favorite toy ever. It's the most accurate looking model compared to the animation to date. Everything about this is top-quality & beautifully made. The combination of plastic & metal is great. It fully transforms into all 3 phases: Fighter, Guardian & Battloid. It's easy to manipulate & very poseable. It even has a light-up visor, battery included. The attention to detail is phenomenal(!), and the white to off-white color makes this the best looking of all VF-1S models (in my opinion). It ships in Battloid form within an attractive blue book/encasing. It's offered in limited amounts due to expensive production. Best. Toy. Ever!
...4-1/2 Stars Yamato 1/48-... I'd give it 5 stars- except that I like the 1/55 Masterpiece *that* much more. One of the issues for me with this great Yamato toy is that it's all plastic, giving it a slightly less solid feel than the metal & plastic Toynami. It's also a duller off-white than the bright looking Masterpiece. This Yamato *does* transform into all 3 phases, and it currently ships in fighter mode within a black box. Great attention to detail, if you need the biggest model VF-1S, this is currently one of the best.
...3-1/2 Stars Bandai 1/55-... My model was made in 2002 as a replica of the popular eighties version. This is the design that Jetfire the Transformer was based on. It actually looks very grey & clunky by today's standards, but the combination of metal & plastic makes it the sturdiest design amongst transformable VF-1S versions. It's not as good looking or poseable as the Masterpiece, but little kids would be less likely to destroy this Bandai model because of the extra solidity. I'd rate this higher if the Masterpiece didn't exist.
...3 Stars Toynami Super Poseable-... It doesn't transform, but it's a slick looking, plastic/rubber VF-1S Battloid in action. At about 7 inches tall, it's slightly bigger and has longer legs than the 1/100 Toynami.
...2 Stars Toynami 1/100-... Brilliant detail; *very* cheap plastic. It falls apart too easily! At about 6 inches tall, this actually does transform into all 3 phases, provided you can keep the pieces from constantly falling off. Great potential in its basic design.
The bottom line- I *highly* recommend the Robotech Masterpiece Vol. 3: VF-1S Roy Fokker 1/55!
P.S. Shop around for the best price! Search for "VF-1S" everywhere you can...
