troyness Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Anyone have an idea what VF-1 is next after Hik? Max DYRL VF-1S? Edited December 7, 2013 by troyness Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 We're expecting new announcement on February from Arcadia. Next VF-1 will probably still stick to popular hero valk, most like Hikaru's VF-1J, but everyone wants M&M. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Acadia! Y U give no boxart like Hasegawa!!! Quote
skullmilitia Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 My guess is we'll see two TV birds, then the Strike packs , then M&M. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Anyone have an idea what VF-1 is next after Hik? Max DYRL VF-1S? VF-1J would be my bet, Hikaru and Max & Milia. Or maybe they would surprise us and do VF-1A U.N. Headquarters Guard. Edited December 7, 2013 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
troyness Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Thanks fellas February it is!! No DYRL Max?? .....Eitherway looking forward to incoming MW glamour shots!! Quote
Scyla Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 My bet is that they continue with the DYRL line because they know have a new hat... *cough* I mean a new color so people are excited to buy them and replace their old DYRL Valkyries. On the other hand the new SDF:M Valks could be cast in off-white. Quote
typev3 Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 How much did the shipping cost for you? ¥3300 Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 ¥3300 Thats pretty cheap where do you live? Quote
dapro Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Thats pretty cheap where do you live? I think he mention he is at Toronto, Canada Since we are talking a little about shipping. I just got a tracking number for SAL. Can this be track from DHL site? Edited December 7, 2013 by dapro Quote
skullmilitia Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Any chance VF-1D coming out? I asked MrK, his response was on the lines of "too early to produce in a new company" But I figure it's a iconic Valk, it'll see light soon enough. It's considered a standard VF so it could just a standard reissue of sorts Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 I love MrK responses. Never says "no" Quote

Loop Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 My bet is that they continue with the DYRL line because they know have a new hat... *cough* I mean a new color so people are excited to buy them and replace their old DYRL Valkyries. On the other hand the new SDF:M Valks could be cast in off-white. There is no way I "replace" my Yamato DYRL valks, but I will be buying the new ones. I still like the off white of the Yammies and the rainbow canopy. Quote
Jasonc Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Mine is on the way as well. Strange that I'll now have two, and need to get rid of one. Quote
jvmacross Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Acadia! Y U give no boxart like Hasegawa!!! Dang! There's probably enough new Tenjin art to fill a new Valkyries book pretty soon.... Quote
Gakken85 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Yeah... why couldn't they do something as simple as that? haha. It can't be that expensive. Looking forward to their next release announcement. Hopefully it's something worth getting excited for. haha Edited December 9, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 The boxart designer probably the CEO's son or something, only good reason I can think of them continuing such uninspired boxart. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 The boxart designer probably the CEO's son or something, only good reason I can think of them continuing such uninspired boxart. Son-in-law maybe? Quote
Deadeye_281 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Acadia! Y U give no boxart like Hasegawa!!! Now that is box art! Anyone have this pic without all the text? Quote
DarrinG Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Amazing art. Just amazing. And that valk 'white' color is the only way they should ever appear, in art, toy or model form IMO. A bright white valk in space combat is silly - whether the anime showed it that way or not. REALLY wish Yamato would have done all the TV versions in gray, would have looked so much better, and it would have have reduced yellowing over time as an added benefit... Quote
recon Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Since we are on the topic of DYRL, anyone felt that the fast packs colors could have a more bluish green tone seen in tenjin illustrations instead of a greenish blue tone. Hope that arcadia would make some improvements in regards to the DYRL fast packs colors Edited December 9, 2013 by recon Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 to be the fastpacks are supposed to be more dominantly grey with blue/green tones...yamato just went full blue/green. never understood that. perhaps my memory is foggy though but the fastpacks on the hasegawa art is sort of more in line with what i always pictured. i hope when they get around to new ones whenever that is that the color will be more grey/blue. Quote
Mommar Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I think there's a way to look at these new colored versions as a positive. At first I was a bit bummed that the 1S Hikaru I ordered won't match my three other 1A's or my Max 1S but after seeing all of these different Tenjin pics he never sticks to coloring any of the Valks the same anyway. I guess I can just think about it like it's a different take on the same valk. Quote
connor99 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Now that is box art! Anyone have this pic without all the text? Amazing box art! Quote
barurutor Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 That valk color looks like the low-vis v2. nice Quote
DarrinG Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 In combat most things tend to be 'low-vis', otherwise your enemy sees you easily and kills you . . . Quote
Reïvaj Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 In combat most things tend to be 'low-vis', otherwise your enemy sees you easily and kills you . . . That is very true, especially before the arrival of the OverTechnology. Quote
DarrinG Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I am a fan of MANY mechs that are not low-vis. But when given the chance I really enjoy it when artists or companies tweak them to be more military. Like comparing the Toynami MPC Legioss colors with what Aoshima did. No contest for me that the Toynami duller, drabber blue and green was superior. In the case with the Yamato 1/60 valks they could have at least gone with their DYRL light gray across the line, which would have looked much better and helped such costly collectables age better as well . . . Quote
CoreyD Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I agree. I always liked the Bandai Origin of Valkyrie VF-1S Focker gray/black/yellow color combination. Quote
Reïvaj Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Such a hard work is for toy companies to please everyone! Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I agree. I always liked the Bandai Origin of Valkyrie VF-1S Focker gray/black/yellow color combination. yup the coloring on that one almost got me to buy it. At the time I already had the early 2000s release ( think) of the super valkyrie vf-1s in roy's colors (but its actually hikaru's name on there since he in SDFM was the one to debut that one after roy's death). i think the origin release was a dyrl roy focker, correct?
