Onimusha-shin Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Oh and the VF-0A will have the improved tighter bicep and knee swivel joints and an improved tighter backpack hinge.Note, the photos shown so far don't have the Tampo printing. The production version will of course have Tampo printed markings. 418442[/snapback] Thanks G-man, that's exactly what I want to hear before committing for the 0A as I was worried that the inherent problems of the 1st run 0S wouldn't have be rectified for the 0A run.In fact, I'm still waiting for the 2nd 0S run to start before getting my 1st 0S.

The production version will of course have Tampo printed markings. I know what the tail markings are going to be, but not sure If I'm supposed to say yet. Graham 418442[/snapback] Great news Graham!!! I'm hopeing it'll be the Bunny!!! PLEASE be the Bunny!!! Could you find out if you can tell? Chris P.S. I do like this color scheme though....although I wish the underside would be the lighter grey that the nose cone and flaps are. Quote
cyde01 Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 haha HFH is definitely on something... 418445[/snapback] got that right, he's on something and whatever it is it ain't good. i don't see why some people deify this guy, i know he's the original creator of the series but he has made some jacked up decisions lately.

al0324 Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) I've been out of the macross loop while just building up my tFormers collection. Saw the Vf-0A here and got hooked, but whne i went to go check prices (checked vf0s prices), i was floored by it's "i'm more expensive than the 1/48th" cost. To show you how out of the loop i was, i went to Valk-Exchange to check prices and learned it was closed since 01-06!!! I can defintely throw money at it and get one - it's no big deal, but wow... that's a lot $$$ for 1/60th scale plastic. but dyaaaammm the detail is amazing. and if there are improvements, that's awesome.

wolfx Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I don't mind the colors at all. Gah...another 100 bucks donated to the HFH and Yamato. Quote
Hurin Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I know, I pointed them to the pics on the Big West site and the Bandai Visual Zero site, sent screen grabs from the anime and scans of Tenjin's box art and Hasegawa paint guides to make my case. From what I understand, anime accurate samples were shown to HFH for approval, but he nixed the idea and told them to use his color scheme.418450[/snapback] Looks to me like he's got a "George Lucas" complex going on.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 The good thing is it is to scale with 1/60 vf1 and qrau, and soon to be yf19. So all those who still own the 1/60 can display them next to the vf0. Quote

do not disturb Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 i leave for a few days and all this great info is released. damn i'm happy! Quote
Radd Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I like this colour scheme, I'm fine with it. However, does this being the 'official' colour scheme rule out the possibility of anime-accurate varients down the road? I mean, point me to the episodes of SDF where the Stealth 1J makes its appearance, or the low-vis cannon fodder. Quote

jenius Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I have some serious doubts as to how well this thing will sell. It's an off-color production of a toy that was already doomed to have a small fanbase... I wish it luck. Quote

Nothing will compare to how much the 1/48 molds racked in, but I'm sure this will do aiight~ Quote
Alex Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Was just in Akiba and i met the rep from Yammie. He had the 0A and the Angel bird in a shopping bag wrapped in plastic. Bit unglamorous. Both are looking extremely cool. 0A does basically look like an unpainted test model but i kinda like that aspect of it. Angel Bird looks nice but a little garish close up. Sorry....no pics allowed. Though they might be on display tomorrow. Maybe Quote

Macross73 Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) I'm very pleased with the Pilot Uniform. its nice to see a Green Uniform. the kits symobol decal can go. i was hoping they'd just have that already on there. Perhaps they'll Tampo that in the final run. Edited July 25, 2006 by Macross73 Quote
Graham Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 Added a page on the VF-0A to the toy section. Graham Quote
Dobber Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Darn!!! Still no marking info. Thanks for the upadate Graham. Chris Quote
ghostryder Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I can't tell, is the pilot just Roy without a skull on the helmet? Quote
vanpang Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) I hope increase their QC before they rush into producing so many different types of products, the QC for the Garland and VF-0S was not excatly decent !! Edited July 25, 2006 by vanpang Quote
eugimon Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 I can't tell, is the pilot just Roy without a skull on the helmet? 419224[/snapback] I don't remember the flight suits in Zero being color coded, so it seems fine to me that the cannon fodder pilots would be unadorned. Quote
Graham Posted July 26, 2006 Author Posted July 26, 2006 But if it's supposed to be Shin, his helmet should have red markings. Graham Quote

Dante74 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I just put in a preorder at HLJ. I hope it won't arrive untill early october cause I'll be enjoying a nice vacation in southern France in the end of september and I don't want this bad boy to sit at the post office for two weeks. Knowing HLJ it'll probably arrive at my place around december...of 2007 Quote
