easnoddy Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Regarding the 11B, I hope that if Arcadia or Bandai makes a new version, that they make the vertical stabilizers fold in half (similar to the newer YF-19's) for storage inside the leg. Yes, it would be a little unsightly to have the big joint line, but we would get nice big stabilizers in fighter mode, which is the main aesthetic drawback of the Yamato VF-11 IMO. Or possibly even include both the smaller regular/flat ones and a larger foldable ones. Quote

Slave IV Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Well, the Proto Garland just went up for preorder. Hope to see the 0D go up but I can wait a LONG time for that because my wallet needs a major break, lol! Quote
Lolicon Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 I'd buy that red VF-11. Still waiting on a MAXL. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Cool, This way I can fill the 1/60 VF-4 hole in what I'm planning to be a VF-0 to VF-31 chronological display. Next I just need a VF-17. Quote

Lolicon Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Oh hell yeah! I must have it! Please make the VF-4 in PF format! So who here thinks Bandai and Arcadia are coordinating their releases so as not to compete directly with each other? Shortly after the HMR M&M release Arcadia reissues the 1/60 M&M in regular and PF. Now just a few months after the HMR VF-4 comes out we get a 1/60 VF-4 in FB2012 livery, something many of us have wanted for years. It's probably just coincidence, but the timing sure is convenient.

Either that or Arcadia is seeing what sells well for Bandai, and then trying to cash in on the hype. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 what's kind of crappy is the head looks the same Quote
jenius Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Why would they change the head? It never transformed. Quote

I've actually been saying this for a few years. They aren't competing; they are cooperating. People saying that we "need" to support Arcadia because they compete with Bandai don't seem to see this. I'm not saying we shouldn't buy Arcadia stuff, but I don't think they are really competing with each other. In fact, I'm pretty sure they talk, at least informally, about their release plans. Quote

It an interpretation. and companies can choose what they want and don't want to follow. clearly you're not going to tell me you didn't see Arcadia's and Bandai's Max and Miria colors on the Supers?

jeniusornome Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Looks good, but I’ll keep my Yamato one. I actually prefer the more generic color scheme. Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Already have a custom, but hot damned this is a.... Must buy! Quote
jenius Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 My guess on matters of color is that the licensees request official information from BigWest. BW probably sends them some colored art. There's nothing that says they can't deviate from the colored art but if you're a licensee and you want to get the rubber stamp approval, it's probably the path of least resistance to just emulate it as close as you can. If you're Bandai you can probably do whatever you want without questions asked. If you're Arcadia, you can probably do whatever you want but you're more likely to get some phone calls about it. I still don't understand why anyone would be upset about the head. Does it look like it has the fin head in FB 2012? Quote
