xrentonx Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 So what is it? A Vajra turd? Bodolza's giant turd to be exact! Quote
Loop Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Yep. Watch the file name of the photo I posted. You will find the picture on page 65 of that book. I actually have this book, I pre-ordered it before it came out. I have it packed away at the moment though. Quote
treatment Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Is it a sign that Arcadia's gonna do zentradi and meltrandi stuff now, too? If so, that would be sweet! Quote
Loop Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I hope to god, I could use some enemy stuff badly. Quote
OmegaD3k Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Clearly it's a teaser for a 1/60 Bodolza fortress. Seriously though, I'm guessing, and hoping for a series of small scale Zentran/Meltran ships, about the length/size of the 1/3000 SDF-1...(If it is, could this mean a TV SFD-1 may be next, if this line sells?)

Graham Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I've always thought that would be an easy custom build, just use a watermelon Graham Quote
Kelsain Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I've always preferred the Fulbxaxzzza Berirntnzztzz from the TV series. Sure it just looks like a rock in space, but it seems both more menacing and functional. Just checked the M3 - I wasn't that far off on the spelling! Quote
Mommar Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Interesting they're looking at fixed pieces like this, especially the Zentradi versions. The DYRL version is definitely more interesting looking than the SDFM version so I can see why they chose it. I wonder if they have plans for other fixed posed capitol ships on both sides? This is probably to test the waters. I still have my Exo Squad Regult and Glaug this thing would look good sitting next to. Quote
Astro_BS-AS Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I've always thought that would be an easy custom build, just use a watermelon Graham A watermelon, a nice cactus, and some grass from here and there... and there you have it ! A DIY giant planetary killer space fortress... haha Quote

anime52k8 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Wow, they really want to go out of business again that quickly? Quote
Astro_BS-AS Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Wow, they really want to go out of business again that quickly? Maybe they´ll make more money selling watermelons than Valkyries ! Or they are planning to add some "frugal" accesories to their doll line... ugghhhh Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I'm going to guess websclusive, no reason not to do that. Actually though, seriously, all it needs to be is a giant lump of painted plastic/resin/whatever. It's not like you'd be able to have moving parts at that scale. I'd qualify that more as a statue/model than anything else. Quote

skullmilitia Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I was thinking Web exclusive edible edition? Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Maybe the whole thing will be made of ceramic and you'll have to grow the outside like a chia-pet. Edited July 17, 2013 by anime52k8 Quote

skullmilitia Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Cool, a 1/6th scale barrel cactus Dio piece. Quote
SaitouSad Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 holy cow.. 12,800 yen for an 11cm wide figure?!I know we're desperate for some Arcadia stuff.. but I think this is kinda stretching it Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Uh.... what. I get that they underpriced things before, but I think they're trying way to hard to make up for that. Wouldn't it be easier to just make a plastic planter where you can grow a cactus on it? I'm kinda tempted to design one now... Edited July 17, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote
r_hunter85 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) that price is simply outrageous. Now I'm scared as to what the new 19 will cost. Edited July 17, 2013 by r_hunter85 Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 That has to be a typo, 1,280 yen is more likely. Quote
Dark_Ghost Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I almost choked when I saw the price. 130$ without the margin of the store, it is abused ... Quote
Reïvaj Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Wow, ¥ 12,800 sounds like a very limited edition. Is it normal for garage kits at WF? Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Really, you know what that reminds me of? A full-color print from Shapeways. Same kind of texture to it, and you can see the print layers. Could be a quick prototype for advertising, but I kind of can't believe they would make something that incredibly small, and charge that much for it... Though... to be fair, depending on the material used at Shapeways, something that big could easily come out that expensive. It might be entirely printed, so they don't have to make molds or paint it, but I really wonder if they'll be able to sell these at that price. Edited July 17, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote
OmegaD3k Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 It does indeed look like a Shapeways print, and that’s how much it would cost ($130) to print something at that size (I printed my own CG models for half that size for $60). For a figure or miniature, $130 would be expected if it were the size of the 1/3000 SDF-1, but for that tiny little thing? No way. Quote
