Expand Even though I have a 1/48 Tomcat in Zero colors, I'd like to find something closer to the Valkyrie scale and have it customized the same way.

MacrossJunkie Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 What is the actual measured length of that 1/64? At true 1/64, it should be about 12 inches. If it were 1/60, it would be about 3/4" longer. Close enough. I tried to find one online, but I guess they're not being made any more. I would have liked to repaint one in a M0 scheme. Quote

Sildani Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 They'll need to reissue the VF-11 first. I have zero problems with that. Quote
wmkjr Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I think a VF-11 renewal version would be better. The shoulder armor wouldn't work too well with the Yamatos unless they do the pegged shoulders like the RA. Make the B,C and D versions then the MaxL. Edited March 4, 2017 by wmkjr Quote
Mommar Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 For the Peotect Armor to look anywhere near accurate Arcadia would have to redesign the base 11. It could stand for some modern tweaks at this point but I'm pretty sure will never, ever happen. Quote
valhary Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Doubt necessary a new version of the 11 I think have enough anchor points as for wear the protector armor Quote
jenius Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I'm surprised a kit hasn't shown up at Wonderfest yet of that thing. If I had the skills I'd make a go... it's super chunky. Quote

Sandman Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) I was looking at the arcadia release thread and noticed this: 2015 6. VF-0D Phoenix (Shin Kudo custom) (2/2015) - MSRP 36800円 7. VF-1J Armored Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo Custom) (5/2015) - MSRP 23800円 8. VF-0A Phoenix (Shin Kudo Custom) (8/2015) - MSRP 34800円 9. VF-0S Phoenix (Roy Focker Custom) (12/2015) - MSRP 34800円 2016 10. VF-4G Lightning III (2/2016) - MSRP 27000円 11. VF-1S Strike Valkyrie (Roy Focker Custom) Movie ver. (8/2016) - MSRP 21800円 This can't be right. Did Arcadia only have 2 releases in 2016? Both reissues no less. Dreams of a max/mirya 1j reissues are seeming like a pipe dream now. Edited March 7, 2017 by Sandman Quote

seti88 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) 2016 was the year of Delta, there is some sense for arcadia to ride out the delta (in particular DX) hype whilst ensuring visibility, re-issue's would have fit that mold.. The question i suspect they may have to answer is with a new series in 2018, will arcadia still stay and battle it out with bandai on the macross front... and if yes, how will arcadia do it with bandai having good/increasing similar priced quality DX releases, with a hype engine of a new series (assuming bandai takes up the new series releases)... Edited March 8, 2017 by seti88 Quote
jenius Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Presumably they'll bid on all series and get the one(s) Bandai doesn't out muscle them on. Zero still seems a safe bet. Maybe 7. If Bandai doesn't go DX VF1 then maybe more reissues. I'd guess Bandai is helping bankroll the new stuff so those licenses are locked up. Quote

Expand I sincerely hope bandai isn't doing that, it sounds like an anti-competitive stance. I do hope its a simple explanation of BW charging a premium for license fee's or that other toy companies view macross as too niche a brand to be able to make $ off it.

Sildani Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Well, this year Arcadia has three big releases: the Ichijo VF-1, the VF-0 Reactive Armor, and the retooled Sv-51. Four if you count the 1/24 Garland. They seem to be picking up the pace a little. Quote

seti88 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 If they tease a prototype by May, there may be a possibility of a dec release. I recall the 0a was released abt the end of the same year it was teased. Of course it was a slight modification to th 0d, which might account for the speed of release. as for the SV, if it's just a matter of better proportions and better joints(?) from the Yamato , maybe just maybe a dec release?
