I'll be honest. I thought the v1 design was pretty outdated and I didn't understand why the comic drawers kept on using it. I liked the v2 much better and the VvV W7 SE was awesome despite the soft sculpted edges (the vest hides it all). BUT those boys at Hasbro took that old design and made it look tight! I honestly can't believe it cuz now, I'm not so worried about the v2.
