i always thought 1Js have better looking heads than the 1S Type..

so i vote for the former bro.. besides 1S Hikaru is kinda hard to find, most likely it's gonna cost you more than any regular valk to get him..

it's a different story though, if you're option is between 1J hikaru and 1S Roy..

thanx for the quickie reply sir giver.

the store where I go to has both Hikaru 1S and 1J ( and yes the 1S is pretty darn expensive than the other ). I'm fine with the price with either valks. the 1J looks nice with those extra hands, but I like the color scheme of the Hikaru 1S (black & Red).

it all drills down to your personal preference..

1J Hikaru
Pros
- Extra hands (a set of close fist and another with figer holding the triger)
- expected to be slightly cheaper than 1S (availability)
- better head skulp (personal preference though)
Cons
- no much of tampo prints (skull insignias on the heat shield, tail fins like from dryl valks)
- separate fast and strike parts sold are intended for dryl valks (it fits though the color is based from the movie)

1S Hikaru
pros
- better color scheme
- availability of fast and stirke parts (for further upgrade)
- for squadron building: all skull squadron valks are issued by yamato already (with the exception of VF-1S Max Type which he piloted during his dog fight with miriya)

cons
- CHICKEN HANDS! no extra hands.
- expected to be a 'lil costly..

those are some things you might need to consider bro
