    I'd love to see an Arcadia or Bandai VF-2SS SAP Special. All the M2 drama aside, that Valk deserves to be made.

    1. VF-1S Strike 2. YF-19 3. VF-25S Armored

    Love that Hikaru VF4. Such a great scheme.
  5. Deadeye_281
    Yeah, the new Arcadia white looks pretty good. Thanks VA for the pics.

    Can't wait for this to ship already.
  7. Deadeye_281
    This for the win. Certainly a missed opportunity.

    It also has 3 hard points per wing, a ton of munitions options, concealed missiles in the legs, fast packs and a cool new Isamu mould among other things.

    Now that is box art! Anyone have this pic without all the text?
  11. Deadeye_281
    I think a lot of us would. Hello Arcadia? License to print money much?
  12. Deadeye_281
    Done collecting valks? LOL, right. Withdrawal will bring you back into the fold soon enough. JK

    I checked the 7 FP stands that I have yesterday and no signs of any paint wear issues. That's after 9 months of constant contact between valk and stand for whatever it's worth. I agree with the previously noted comments that the issue of these stands eating paint really seems to be tied to either a bad batch or a handful of bad batches from the factory. That said, I certainly keep an eye on my valks since loading them onto the FP stands. Paranoia pays off sometimes.

    There are a few of us that like the HS mode. I'll likely display this with the wings swept forward but the HS mode is certainly cool looking.

    Gotcha. Man, I really have to get this game. Thanks!

    The new Bandai Isamu color schemed YF-29 that's coming out... where does this valk appear in Frontier? I'm guessing that it's in the Frontier movies that I haven't had a chance to watch yet???

    Great job on the subtle weathering. It looks more like a model at first glance and that speaks volumes for making it look realistic IMO.
  18. Deadeye_281
    The color looks good to me and it bares the matte finish that was common to Yamato valks.

    The latest photos look pretty good, but speaking from a biker perspective, I'm not convinced that the 'crown/beak' piece of the helmet is going to be effective for riding 'if' it only attaches to the helmet via the 3 visor snaps that you see in these photos. I'm fearful that the crown will lift and rip off at speed. Let's face it, there's a lot of drag element there to consider. I'm guessing Masai will of course address that but I'm just thinking outside the box as a biker who rides with no windshield.

    The V2 ghosts look stellar. Looking at these latest photos, I can't help but wish someone would crank out a proper Mac+ X9 already.

    This is shaping up to be a really nice valk; certainly light years ahead of the V1 YF19. The intake lip thickness does stand out a bit in some of the close-up photos, but then again, so much attention has been drawn to this small detail (IMO) that I can't help but actively go looking for it. I think that once you have this valk in your hands, that small detail will effectively blur amongst the rest of the design elements that are pretty much bang on. On another note, that Isamu figure is arguably the best looking pilot figure to date and it reminds me of the 1:48 Stealth/LowVis pilot in terms of sculpt and detail. Superb. Whether you like the new design or not, I have to say that I definitely like the business approach to design and release of this valk, in that we've essentially been included every step of the way in being provided with ongoing design photos and the sort. Pretty cool way to keep everyone in the loop (for good or ill) and build that excitement factor prior to release date. Well done Arcadia.

    Matte finish for the 19 is definitely good news.
  23. Deadeye_281
    I emailed these guys last spring and was included on an early buyer list but I haven't heard a thing since.
  24. Deadeye_281
    LMAO

    Great display. Love Anduril and the Daywalker sword chillin in the background.
