Arcadia YF-19 coming in 2014

[jenius]

With the premium for "weathering" version that's gonna be one pricey YF-19!

EDIT - Surprised they're doing this, the V1 1/60 YF-19 had a weathering version that sold like a real dog.

i thk lolicon would just get the regular and weather it

I tot we were already paying premium prices, i shudder to thk what this would cost...

And perhaps the offset is that it doesn't come with the additional armament tray?

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Though if they exclude the extra armaments and sell a weathered version for about the same price as the regular edition, that would be great for those without the time or inclination to do it themselves.

Not likely to happen though.

[Mommar]

The pre-done weathering here looks better than on the old Yamato's. Though there's no indication the factory produced 19's will look nearly as good.

[seti88]

I have a suspision they are missing the shield in display because they didnt weather it in time...

[IXTL]

July release. Price TBA.

[Valkyrie addict]

Premium finish, can't imagine its premium price. Looks good though.

[Sildani]

A premium finish should have air intake danger markings tampoed on. At the least.

[Scyla]

But the YF-19 doesn't have air intake warning markings.

[Sildani]

Stop it! You know what I mean! 😁

[Scyla]

In my opinion Arcadia should include at least the markings from the anime/source material. If it had ejection seat markings in the source material print it on the toy. After that include as many markings as the budget can get you. On the other hand I think the VF-19ADVANCE overdid it with all the markings so maybe don't add too many.

July release. Price TBA.

when is the pre order ? Hopefully not at a premium price

[spanner]

Well that looks pretty good eh! Closer to if not over 40k price tag perhaps? Still very tempting! And around July too which will cause a conflict of interest between it and the Monster..

[Raptor One]

That looks pretty cool, weird that even a "premium finish" version doesn't have more tampo. Didn't mind the lack on the original version, but here it seems like it defeats the purpose

[max928]

so the restock of this item in April 2016, is NOT this new weathered version correct?

Also, no info on ankle revisions for either of these?

Good point/observation.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was a web exclusive or otherwise (very) limited run.

Correct and correct.

yeah you'd think they would add a few extra tampo prints seeing they are gonna charge extra for the weathering anyways!

though looking at it a few more times, yes its nice but maybe not quite nice enough to justify buying another. Comparing it to my Arcadia-19 I rather like the clean look of it. And none others of my Valkyries are weathered so I might just stick to the clean look.

Personally I don't get the appeal of the weathered look. I can understand that it looks more realistic but my cabinets don't look like a warzone. They look like a showroom and thus I need clean Valkyries in them.

[Valkyrie addict]

The old yammie weathered VF-1's came with waterslide decals, at least they should include that given the lack of tampo on this bird.

Was hoping for a suprise new Arcadia YF-21 annoument, that in a weathered version...insta buy!

yes that is an excellent was to put it! and I have to say I feel the very same way with my entire collection! Certainly has that clean showroom look and feel to it. Hence why I'll most likely skip this one..

Though I do like the weathered look and Lolicon's VF-0S is a prime example! I guess I still wouldn't mind having something weathered but it would be a tough choice as to what..

A renewal YF-21 would be great and make a lot of sense as it would go well with their YF-19 release but i have a gut feeling that Arcadia won't be surprising us with anything interesting for a while yet.. especially if they are only dishing out the re-issues and an additional paint version of an existing toy..

Though I'd still love to see SV-51 renewals hit the market! Then I'll have some cheap originals up for sale!

[Lolicon]

Whatever floats your boats, guys. It's all good.

In my mind's eye, these aircraft see actual service. That's why there's a pilot in the cockpit.

[CoreyD]

Yeah except in most cases technology demonstrators like the YF-19 would never get that dirty to begin with.

[Sildani]

I was thinking about just that. Prototypes are kept pretty clean.

Although you COULD say this is the 19 after Isamu's assault on Sharon Apple - in which case, it'd have to be said it's not weathered enough. 😄

[Chronocidal]

I dunno, there was one scene where the 19 was shown pretty well trashed. It was going in for repairs, but I don't know if it was due to the prototype being that difficult to control, Isamu being a reckless maniac, or both.

Yea I don't mind the heavily weathered look, but I mostly prefer my valks with just some light panel lining

[kajnrig]

For what it's worth, I don't consider that exactly "weathering." It just looks like some pre/post-shading work, which isn't meant to mimic weathering effects so much as... well, add shading. It breaks up otherwise largely monotonous color apps.

Like, if I wanted weathering on my (hypothetical, sadly) 19, I'd add streaks to the wings (running back from along the forward edges and panel lines) emulating the desert sand/dirt flowing across them, and/or drybrush along the sharpened angles to simulate sand blasting at the paint, etc. And that's before you whip out the dremel and start gouging at the plastic of your $300 toy...

You guys forgot about my lovely YF-19 (with broken wing!)

Now, that's PREMIUM FINISH. Weathered and stikered. And looks better than Arcadia's.

ahhh yes that is nice!

[takatoys]

I like my own "premium finsh" version.
