Gakken85 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Me neither. A boring valk from a boring OVA. Wait, why are we talking about M7? Quote
Reïvaj Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I wasn't really interested in one anyway... Me neither. A boring valk from a boring OVA. Don't worry, I'll take them for you. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 lol, i can't wait till 2015. i'm so ready. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I honestly can't see this being more than 30000 yen. If it came with a stand I could see it being more but missiles? The VF-19kai reissue is cheaper and comes with more heft Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Gah, that color is wrong in every possible way---hue, saturation, and value! Yeesh. If the final is anywhere near that, I WILL not buy it solely for that. That's more like periwinkle than anything else. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 It's also out of focus with shitty light. I've never known blurriness to affect the perceived color of something. Quote
jenius Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 But bad lighting would. You know they have to release the wrong color first so they can give us the right color a year from now. That's mac0 tradition. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I actually think that's really good lighting----based on the background etc, that looks like a standard Yamarcadia "grey background drape" photo-shoot. And they just intentionally blurred it out. (or altered depth of field etc so it was inherently blurry) My vote is that this is from a dedicated photo-shoot, and not some quick "iphone at a desk" pic. At least a semi-official teaser, with a modicum of effort put into taking a decent photo. Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 VF-0D, where the D means Different color. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Just gotta go by presence or lack of white striping, to know if it's the "proper" Shin release. Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I thought a proper Shin release was one missing the wingman. MIRITE! haha, that just happened. Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 When I see a proper, clean image of this sucker from different angles I'll have an opinion. Judging this 0D based on a blurry image is lame, hang in there this Phoenix will be awesome!!! Quote

David Hingtgen Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Agreed---purplish-blue, close to periwinkle. Quote
technoblue Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/488600426535596032/photo/1 I like the color too. I haven't seen enough of these to be able to guess at the background. I thought it was a table cloth or something similar with texture. And my eyes could be deceiving me, but I do think there is something odd with the lighting in this teaser from Mr. K. There seems to be some serious glare around the cockpit. Is it flash or photoshop? I don't know, but my first impression was of the 1/72 Hasegawa kit: Quote
Mommar Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Agreed---purplish-blue, close to periwinkle. I absolutely do not see that color in this photo at all. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I absolutely do not see that color in this photo at all. Let me ask you this---are you the type of person that can see the blue, in red? Specifically, the blue in "Milia red"? The 1/48 Milia is a very blueish red, as reds go. It's what separates "Milia red" from say "Alto/Hikaru red". Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I wasn't callin your mom a tart... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkVO4GnTvFE Quote

I've never owned a 1/48 nor have I seen a Milia 1/48 in person so I couldn't comment on the color. Various pictures/videos make it look like lots of different colors online. Quote
Reïvaj Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I refuse to start panicking like an old lady that spots a mouse yet. Maybe later. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 color is light... wonder if this is going to be an easy paint scratch valk... Shut up and cancel your pre-order! im not buying a blurred toy. ^^^HA HA HA HA HA!!! But I'd totally buy a blurred toy, that thing would be awesome to display and even awesome-r to try and photography clearly. I personally think that blue looks great. Me. Too. But then again, I guess we must have something to pick a nit over, if it's not color it's price, if it's not price is packaging, if it's not packaging it's why it wasn't released on someone's birthday. -b.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) before i was in the don't complain and wait till the final product camp. then received a 19 that' paint scratches and get loose in the ankles. so i'm like to all who complain early. have at it. don't care. it's a 300+ toy i want perfection. lol well, i guess it would be more productive if we can take it to Mr. K's twitter. lol Edited July 15, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote

And for all of the dust that gets kicked up before a release, what percentage of stuff actually is an issue in final production? Probably very small if one were to actually count up ALL the nits that were picked across various manufacturers and releases. Re: the YF-19, nobody complained about broken wings and the difficulty some had with getting the cockpit to align perfectly or the pain-in-the-ass fast packs, but there they were. If folks want to argue the color, or hue, of blue from a blurry picture on Twitter 6 to 7 months before release they have as much right as I do to complain about their complaining. And hate to break it to you fellas, nothing is or ever will be perfect. The cost of doing business I suppose... -b. Quote
wm cheng Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Well, I just hope they tampo more stuff on than the YF-19 - that was just too minimalist for the price of that toy. I guess I get spoiled by all the tampo Bandai puts on their stuff! Quote
aaajin Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Looks good to me. But most prolly wont be getting it... well.... at least not until people have posted their reviews online. Huge holes on my pocket after acquiring 2 x YF-19...but hey! Just remembered this is coming in 2015...so yay! Here's to $2/day piggy bank. Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 nice! so, 35000y-37000y for the Arcadia VF-0D? I highly doubt that. I think you should plan for 30000y, and then if it ends up like the 19 For 25-27000y then you'll be happy. Over 300$ is usually a market cutoff for collectibles. Quote
chyll2 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 ^ i myself is saving for a targeted 30000 yen. I have a 1/72 model of it and it just really looks good. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 If no one says anything until after release, there's zero chance of fixing it. Mentioning things now means corrective action can be taken. Fixing things afterwards is expensive----doing it right in the first place is a lot easier. Quote
