Maybe one of the little things that make the piece ugly is the big vacant space at the side of the chest. In the tv series metal plates usually slide down to cover this vacant area. Guess it wasn’t possible in the toy. In you have some styrene sheets and a nerve for scratch building, you could make an ably sized block that will fit in that space to provide a more bulkier chest. The other option is to not just take pictures of your VF-1S at that angle…. hehehe

All in all I’d say its a great toy for you to fill in a display cabinet or in diorama, due to the detail and realism. But definitely not something you should be playing around with because of the parts and joints that look like they could wear out easily. It’s definitely a good collector’s item.

Added below are just additional shots of the VF-1S Valkyrie of Hikaru Ichijo.
