Tochiro Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Some pics (mostly from Arcadia's booth) of Macross stuff that I took at Wonderfest today. These aren't in any particular order. If anyone else took any, please post em here! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks for sharing! Glad to see the Zero valks coming back. I skipped Yamato's offerings the first time due to complaints about quality. Still been interested in picking up a SV-51, though. Hopefully they all get v2's. Quote
Hikaru1234567890 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Glad to see Arcadia is coming out with a VF-0D! Quote
jenius Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I thought we were getting 4 VF-1 repaints. I'm bummed. Quote

chyll2 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 can someone tell me what is being sold at 5k yen? is it just the missile or does it include the 25? Quote
valky-001 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 In the back ground of one of the pic. of the VF-0D you can see some thing about a mini SDF-1 any one know what it is? Quote
Gakken85 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 What's that black fighter on the right? Quote

Scyla Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 What's that black fighter on the right? Looks like a VF-25 to me. I assume the 5k Yen item is the weapon set for the Messiahs. Quote
Mommar Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 If you squint it says 1/72 MDE, so it looks like additional parts for 1/72 VF-25 kits. Quote
Froy Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! Not a fan of the VF-0D but that looks kickass! Quote
Mommar Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I've been trying to study that CAD image to see what changes there may or may not be. I can't make out if the shoulder transformation is any different/better then the old VF-0/1. Looks like the bumps for the fuel cells still peg in with two holes just like the old 0's. There's no little tab to hold the backpack up, unlike the VF-1, and just like the old VF-0. I wonder if there's a new mechanism or if they're sticking with friction. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I don't know if there'd be any reason, considering I've never actually used the backpack hooks on the VF-1s to begin with. The double hinge for the VF-0 backpack always worked slightly differently as well, and always held really well. Honestly, if they tighten up the molds, and keep the plastic quality on par with recent Yamato and Arcadia releases, I don't think they'll really need to change much about the original VF-0 design. It worked fine for the most part, and the proportions and shape never seemed to be an issue. If they can improve the molding to current standards, make the feet lock better, and tighten up the chest/nose mechanism, they should be golden. Now, the question I do have though... the old Ghost booster for the VF-0A/S was only really held on by clipping the canards under the upper fairings, and resting around the tails. I don't know if the VF-0D carrying a Ghost is canon (I think you could in Macross 30?), but it'll need something else to hold it on without the tails in the same place, and you'd need a new set of color-matched chest pods as well. I wonder if they'll actually include some kind of clip to hold the existing Ghosts on, or eventually reissue them with a different mount for the VF-0D. Quote
ahiachris Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 That price's only for the bomb and the missiles Quote
JetJockey Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 More pictures! Thanks. We need more Macross figures. Quote
danth Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I wish there was news of another VF-1 release. Max, Miria, Brownie, anything. But especially a Super Ostrich. I would think it would be like printing money. Quote
Tking22 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I don't own any kind of Roy VF-1S, I'm seeing the Arcadia movie one for decent prices too. I specifically wanted a TV version, but that DYRL version is pretty bright, it looks bright enough to pass for a TV version. I too would like Arcadia to put out a wave of new VF-1s, I missed out on the 1D and Hikaru 1J as well, I'd jump on another chance at a 1D with the option parts. From what I've seen based on prices and chat on this board alone, a lot of people would like another shot at M&M 1Js with super parts. Quote
danth Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Be patient, guys! You know something you ain't tellin'? Quote
Reïvaj Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Everyone will be pleased in due time. Quote

Tochiro Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 *wrong thread -b. No, that was a WF item, so this is the right thread. But Save and I have so many pics of the thing we are going to wait and FP it later on :-) Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 No, no - sorry, I meant wrong thread for my comment. I'm sure you guys are golden with the pics you post. -b. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet. They... actually displayed it by setting it over the top of two empty two-liter bottles? Quote
skullmilitia Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 No, that was a WF item, so this is the right thread. But Save and I have so many pics of the thing we are going to wait and FP it later on :-) I just want to know Hoooowwww does one get this. I'm about to go all Skull style on my bike. Nothing more geeky Then riding wearing a DYRL helmet, but then add shoulder pads!? Must have. Quote

Mechapilot77 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Nice we got a VF-0D confirmation. Also that dark grey VF-25 (its a 1/72) looks awesome. Almost looks liek an ivanov scheme on a 25....bandai should make one of those for its DX renewal line. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 can someone tell me what is being sold at 5k yen? is it just the missile or does it include the 25? There's a card under that dark grey VF-25 at the rear, can anyone tell me what that says? If they make a dark grey version that's already a dark grey, I'd buy one in a second and just paint what needed to be painted. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I'm somewhat concerned about battroid mode for the 0D, or rather the poseability of it. Unless Arcadia is able to work some sort of magic, battroid mode is going to have some issues with the legs and the wings. In the CAD, the wing is clipping into the back of the leg already. Obviously they will fix that so the actual physical product will have enough clearance so the leg and the wings don't try to occupy the same space at the same time, but even then, it doesn't seem like you'll be able to move the legs back, much less bend the leg at the knee if the leg is straight since the wings go as far down as the calf area of the leg.
