Arcadia gives some hope!!!

[EXO]

wait...the same maiden japan that is / was on these boards? i also wondered if its the same maiden japan that did custom TF junkion parts (that now has similar kits being mass produced)? personally i think the beta (tlead) is exceptional. the alpha....poor material choices and a bit sloppily tooled.

That's because Aoshima paid to have the sculpt imported into Autocad. Something that should have been done with all their toys before that. I think Aoshima learned their lesson from the Legioss debacle.

Did anyone inquire Arcadia for the Macross products?

Here's Arcadia's official tweet today. "Mr.K" suddenly appeared and said hello to the followers.

At least he belongs to the company. You know what it means.

Or the company has been checking MW? I don't know it for sure.

P.S. He says he won't be able to go to Shizuoka.

my hopes are getting up. need some Max and Miria's after the ugly angel birds + tattoos variant get released.

i'm not sure if i should get a few more yammies now or just wait. i was hoping May was the unveiling date @ the hobby show by Save's post.

but if it's going to take longer, maybe i should get a few more valks to hold me over. the only thing that's keeping me on pause is the potential of "11 new gimmicks" may mean an update/changes to the current mold or a new mold altogether.

They should do the VF-1J Miria Custom from Macross 7. Or at least include some black stickers to mod the wings if they reissue the SDF one.

That's a huge relief! Hopefully from his experience with the VF-19, he'll design a renewal YF-19 for Arcadia 🙏

[Gakken85]

I wouldn't get too excited about renewals/re-releases just yet.

We still don't know the nature of this 1/60 toy with "fun interactive features", yet.

[AlphaOne]

Lol, based on Arcadia giving very limited info, it's like the proverb: give a starving man a cracker, he'll think it's a feast.

[Mechapilot77]

Mr. K is the valk designer from yamato right? thats a very good sign!

[antibiotictab]

An additional info.

He said, ”please look forward to WF!” WF is apparently Wonder Festival. Wait for July 28th!

thanks for translating this important byte of info

[Murphy]

Can't Wait! I hope it's more than just a physical 1/60 v-1 anniversary.

[skullmilitia]

You guys are forgetting, they maybe being vague for obvious reasons.

Like not looking like Yamato right off the bat.

There's always a method.

[Loop]

I thought Mr. K already tweeted or posted on Arcadia's blog that he was looking forward to working for them. That was a while back.

mr k is kawamori himself no?

Fine with me since I spent an obscene amount of money on my collection. I just hope it's the super ostrich.

He already was working with them. It was a tweet from someone at Arcadia that said something like "oh, and across my desk is Mr. K., who says hi!"

Yeah, and he said "How do you do?"

[Cdisdope]

I'm gonna try to go to Wonder Fest this summer early in the morning and go straight to the Arcadia booth. Sneak a few pictures, perhaps? (if pics aren't allowed)

Why not ask them a bunch of useful questions about the continuation of the Macross product line, instead of disrespecting them..? The reason for the 'no photo' signs is usually that they want to sell exclusive images to hobby magazine publishers. A good description of what you see is usually enough.

Wouldn't you prefer a general, non-web exclusive re-release VF-4G........with "optional parts"?

Ditto! Add vf-1d too.

[raptormesh]

Gonna end up being the 30th anni deco VF-1 and 30th anni deco VF-19.

[Chronocidal]

Hey, I'd gladly take a VF-19F or S in those crazy anniversary markings. I'd happily strip them all off to get a white VF-19.

I can dream....can't I?

[Swooshiex]

Given the popularity of the VF-4, I think there's a good chance we might see a VF-4 Hikaru from Arcadia.

Maybe more 1/60 bad guys too.

[jvmacross]

I can dream....can't I?

Nope......dreams must be pre-ordered 6 months in advance and only during half of a standard Bandai pre-order window!

[plastik]

and when your dream finally arrives it will most likely be missing pieces and covered with light scratches...

[anime52k8]

when did this turn into a Bandai thread?

[NightCastle]

Yep, the Miria one was already shown. The Max one will be the same obnoxious NasCar scheme, but with more blue!

[skullmilitia]

You'd be a fool to think they won't create an exact replica of that old Yamato VF-4 mold.

Ya know'

it'd be cool if they released fast packs for the vf-4
