Possibly.... I do not think there is "armor" missing for the "front" part...it is just covering the back of the wings....it's just that the current position of the wing tips is way too low....making them look way to exposed when looking at them from the front...I feel the available line art supports the wings not being as exposed as they are on the Arcadia PWS-0X armor... The CAD for the proposed cannon fodder VF-0 seems to have its wings more recessed.....maybe they realized the problem but it was too late for the already released VF-0S/A....

I'd put up waiting a little longer for the rest of the HMR destroids for a HMR FB2012 VF-4 and a properly designed VF-2SS with SAP....

At the current MSRP....not sure how much more a swappable "short" wing part would have affected the cost...not much I think... As for the "parts-former" issue.....the collector would have the "option" of not using it.....wonder how many opt out of installing their "option parts" when displaying their so-equipped 1/60 VF-1 Battroids? I'm guessing very few....at least the side/neck covers... Anyway....this Arcadia "dress up" option can get away with the "Evolution Toys" defense I suppose....as it is "the only game in town"..... Still, the obviously exposed wings are close, if not exactly, as bad as how Toynami handled their GBP's "crotch" (which you can at least conceal by closing the wings)...except IMO leaving a forward-facing part uncovered is far worse! At their stage in the game, you'd think Arcadia would have come up with a solution....the current execution seems as if they just decided to ignore it....and hoped no one would notice..... Shame on you Arcadia!

The lineart actually depict oversized shoulder packs....ironically....Arcadia's armor is so chunky the packs actually look appropriately sized... Unfortunately, the PWS-0X armor is not supposed to have a "bulky" overall look....except for those shoulder packs... The biggest problem are the super exposed wings when looking at it head-on....can't believe Arcadia didn't think of that when they "re-designed" the VF-0....it makes it look like the armor was an afterthought....HMR-style swappable wings could have resolved that...

Female getting busted out of cell....seen that before too.... Apparently doing that twice in Rogue One? -
Are the wings supposed to be that visible from the front? Its armor and should be able to cover the most vulnerable bits....like wings! Can't unsee it now.... the back piece seems to be sufficiently covering the wings as the line art shows.... Still looks ok I suppose......at least they did not mess too much with the colors.....

This one has some measurements....

Would have preferred checking off more from this list than a Dougram.....

Great shots! I always like the pics done in natural light and outdoors. The 1/48's fighter mode still beats out the 1/60's in my book...always has...always will....

Animation error....

The bootleg effect.... 1/1 Macross DYRL Helmet - Max Type.......49,100 JPY http://page24.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q130850998 .........guess these are not worth as much ever since the Masei helmets came out....

Maybe Bandai's Max and Milia HMR stands were "inspired" by this pic? Or maybe the guy who came up with the idea is now at Bandai?

YF-30 has been selling for 400-500 after fees and shipping on YJA..... VF-4G has been collecting dust since the re-issue...good luck getting msrp... The YF-30 is hot because collectors want it to display along with the upcoming VF-31....it is it's direct descendant....I don't see Bandai re-issuing it anytime soon or ever.... In short...bad trade

Last one! Maybe you can order it and compare it to the Bandai originals? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamashii-Effect-Explosion-Yellow-Ver-for-S-H-Figuarts-Fix-D-Arts-Anime-Figure-/252040911140?hash=item3aaecf1924:g:yxoAAOSwwbdWNzSg More.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamashii-Effect-Exposion-yellow-ver-S-H-Figuarts-/281912848643?hash=item41a350b103:g:zqMAAOSwa-dWnQzO http://www.ebay.com/itm/S-H-Figuarts-Tamashii-Effect-Explosion-red-Ver-Fix-D-Arts-Anime-Figure-/272319143696?hash=item3f677c5f10:g:1WcAAOSwZVlXldAa http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamashii-Effect-Exposion-yellow-ver-S-H-Figuarts-/252255762924?hash=item3abb9d79ec:g:sbkAAOSwoydWnL6i

Are the Chinese knock-offs on eBay any good? Where can the Bandai versions be bought for the lowest price?
-
That works....nice!

You know...I was going to make a comment about it....is it me or does that "blue" look suspiciously similar to the shade of blue finally chosen by Arcadia for their VF-0D? But it does look cool on a VF-0A....especially covering most of it...not just a small section of the legs!

Just binged the entire first season and the first episode of season 2......surpassed all my expectations..... "Shoot first...think never!"

@no3Ljm.... Ok...so took the book out and zippo! Guess it makes sense, as that VF-0B "Space Proving Wing" is probably a Hasegawa exclusive/licensed original creation..... Still......Arcadia can always pay Hasegawa to use it...or simply come up with one of their own (with BW's blessing).... Anyway.....here is what I found...mostly VF-0A squadrons and one VF-0C..... The two VF-0-NF's seems to be the VFMF's version of the Hasegawa "Space Proving Wing" VF-0B....so maybe Arcadia could start doing VFMF editions!!!
