Hey-Pi-Ron Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 1-60 YF-19 v2.0 (Arcadia's 1.0) My bad, I'm supid... Quote
charger69 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I bet Bandai will announce DX YF-30 Pre-order date when Arcadia announces VF-0D's... Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I bet Bandai will announce DX YF-30 Pre-order date when Arcadia announces VF-0D's... It may be circumstancial but i seem to think the timing of their annoucements tries to undercut arcadia.Maybe if arcadia announces the VT-1 or max and miria, it will push bandai to annouce the 25S.

Valkyrie addict Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Arcadia said they acquired only the newest latest molds from Yamato. The Zero Yammie were old molds. Happy to see the prototype, looks promising. Sad to see that the airbrake appears to be non-functional Quote
Matt Random Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Looks to me like the air brake is functional. The tape looks to be holding some pieces in place and there's a couple pieces of tape on the air brake. Quote
Deadeye_281 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 F. YEAH Was hoping that I wouldn't like the 0D to give my wallet a break...but man, that fighter mode looks really, really sweet. <sigh> shut up and take my money... Quote
chyll2 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 good thing this is 2015 release. plenty of time to recover. F yeah indeed! Quote
neoexcaliber Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Dat fighter mode! Looks like it's gonna be my first problem-free (hopefully) VF-0 toy. Quote
3D-Brainx Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 That's awesome. It looks..., big, I like that! Quote
Xigfrid Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 This prototype looks amazingly accurate! Probably because the anime was rendered in 3D. But this is nice! Quote
SaitouSad Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Are those die cast upper arms? those look like the arms T-Rex used for their collaboration with Sentinel for the Black and Red Getter-1. I wonder if T-Rex is involved in this. Quote
Tober Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Looks great. I wonder what they will have to show at Wonderfest in a few months. those look like the arms T-Rex used for their collaboration with Sentinel for the Black and Red Getter-1.I wonder if T-Rex is involved in this. T-Rex were often involved with Yamato's transforming toys. I'd be surprised if Arcadia weren't using them. Quote
Mommar Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Too bad there's no Gerwalk pic. It spent a ton of time in that mode on the show. Quote
close313 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Too bad there's no Gerwalk pic. It spent a ton of time in that mode on the show. I agree and part of me thinks that the prototype might not be stable enough for gerwalk. Quote
Mommar Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I agree and part of me thinks that the prototype might not be stable enough for gerwalk. I suppose that's possible, those larger wings do make it a lot more back heavy then the other 0's or VF-1's. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I love it. The panel lines look much finer than the deep canyons the older VF-0's had. The chest piece looks proportionally narrower too, although when I compare to the 0S, it looks about the same. It could just be the longer torso due to the double seat cockpit. The older Zeroes look kinda squat in comparison. The ankles look like its a bit more like the VF-17 or 19 implementations rather than the simple sliders for the VF-1's and older VF-0's. The knee area looks a whole lot better, lacking the visible gaps and just shaped better over all. I really do hope they keep the die cast in the arms. We wouldn't need to worry about the shoulders or arms disintegrating. I''m a bit concerned about the fins sticking out of the hips/intakes. They could like they could snap off easily by accident while handling it during transformations or even if setting it down in fighter mode without the landing gear deployed. It will just have to be one of those things people have to be careful with I guess. The alternatives would probably be to put them on ugly hinges or have them plug in somewhat loosely so that they come off instead of breaking off. Neither of which sound very good to me. I also hope they improved the locking on the gunpod handle. None of the gunpods on my VF-0's could really lock the handles into place very well (or at all). They were loose when extended for battroid mode handling or collapsed for fighter mode. Quote
Reïvaj Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 those look like the arms T-Rex used for their collaboration with Sentinel for the Black and Red Getter-1. I wonder if T-Rex is involved in this. The same T-REX designer responsible for the old 1/60 Yamato YF-19 collaborated with the new Arcadia one; I can't see a reason for not to do the same with this one. I agree and part of me thinks that the prototype might not be stable enough for gerwalk. Resin prototypes often aren't. And a full page ad might be too expensive for the current stage of the project. Quote
Tober Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Resin prototypes often aren't. And a full page ad might be too expensive for the current stage of the project. That looks more like an article tho. I thought the reason for the 'no photos' signs at events was because hobby magazines will pay for that sort of coverage first to sell mags. Quote
Reïvaj Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I don't know, it well may be. In this case it's the space that the magazine devoted to this new development which is insufficient to show photos in all modes. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 diecast upper arms, looks like they learned a lesson from old Yammie exploding arms. Looks amazing! Thank God indeed is for 2015! Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 The new Arm pictures alone have sold me on this bad boy, getting two for sure!! Quote
lechuck Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Battroid doesn't look like it will be fun to pose or handle with. Still has the same issue with the hips/intakes hitting those tabs behind the chest plate and sit way too snug to the nose. Add the those wide/low hanging wings on top that and it spells frustration to me. Quote
Chafaris Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Ahh! Looks amazing! Will buy one for sure! Quote
Tking22 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I'm probably in for one depending on price. Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 All this praise? WHY?! I will wait for Davey boy to find something wrong with it. Quote
technoblue Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I am cautiously optimistic that this will be a nice companion piece to my Yamato SV-51 Nora-type. And I really like how the wings form a flared skirt/cape in battroid mode. Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) All this praise? WHY?! I will wait for Davey boy to find something wrong with it. It doesn't come with pilots and the air brake doesn't work. Edited March 21, 2014 by anime52k8 Quote
Swoosh Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Looks really nice!!! Edit: Ok, may be just the angle, vertical fin look large enough from the rear shot. Edited March 21, 2014 by Swoosh Quote
