Expand Okay, that's fair point. I don't know what Arcadia was thinking there... They really should've followed Bandai's lead for their "Premium Finish" releases. Bandai's colors were much more accurate. Quote

I guess that’s the ‘decomasu’ item that they’re referring for the WonderFest Summer 2019. Though I just don’t like that they copied Bandai’s color scheme on its internals. Can’t blame them I guess. Bandai copied them first. On 7/28/2019 at 2:57 AM, Lolicon said: 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.

borgified Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Colour me interested in this one. Now the question is.... Will the missiles pop off on this re-engineered version? Quote
DewPoint Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 I'm in! Been waiting for this release for quite a while. I do wonder how much T-REX makes, they seem to be the go-to designers for at least Macross toys. Their MOSPEADA designs seem to be doing well and their Legioss looks promising. Quote

Grimgerde Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Huh. Not what I would have guessed Arcadia would have tackled after the 0D, even if you would have gave me 5 guesses. Happy for those that have wanted this, though. Quote
ErikElvis Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 I’m pretty happy with what Arcadia is putting out with these next few releases. Being Happy about the price is a different story. Quote
Lolicon Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Glad to see Arcadia got the correct placement and color of the red stripes on the stabilizers. The skulls aren't crooked either. Quote
abbadon Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 By the way they also announced the VF-0D PF for December 2019 Release https://figsoku.net/blog-entry-164254.html Quote
Rogueload Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 That 0D is awesome! Gonna have to start saving now. Preorders should start soon right? Quote
seti88 Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Man it would be great if the actual 0D release looks like the display. I thk the odds of the release looking weathered and panel lined like the display, is next to nil, seeing as how the other PF’s are just extra tampoed. Why is Arcadia showing this weathered version again begs the question... You never know of course... Quote

borgified Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Rewatching @jenius' review on the non-PE VF-4G and the MRSP of that version was 27k yen back in 2014 (even the Yammie version had discount of 5% before the final pricing if you pre-ordered before hand). Anyone want to guesstimate on the pricing on the PF version?? Quote

Lolicon Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 The VF-4 will be the first instance I'll buy 2x PF just so I can detail one and have another clean and shiny. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Wow, that actually looks like the right colors: If it ACTUALLY comes like this, and that don't completely change the colors between "sample and production" like they did with the original 0D, I'll buy it. (man will next year be expensive, a 2012 VF-4 and a premium 0D----good thing I haven't bought any valks since Mirage's) Quote
Grimgerde Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I'd be down for two of these, if the production version looks close to that. Thus the remaining purchase plans for new releases/preorders for the remainder of the year: 1)Ivanov 2)1-2 x VF-0D 3)Whatever the next DX 1/48 VF-1 is (as I assume the next one will be put up for preorder by the end of the year).

Lolicon Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I had no idea that Arcadia had shown off any weathered valkyries in the past, only to release a completely different product later. Quote
seti88 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Oh, not weathered per se, but was referring to their initial VF-0D release, with the saturated blue release vs the grey blue promotional pics. On the weathered front, am totally not expecting a weathered/panel-lined release. There was nothing mentioned by arcadia or any press, during wonderfest, on anything remotely like weathered/panel-lined, which definitely would be a plus point to highlight.

Expand my man! you were so on point with this post. the hi metal leg super design followed this scene while arcadia's followed another scene as well as the color scheme for the boosters you got my respect to post this after i posted, btw, i was just joking about Captain Obvious, don't take my sarcasm seriously. i respect Jenius' reviews but he at times makes unintelligent comments so i will answer in kind with a dumb answer, most people who always kiss his butt will blindly follow and try to jump in. but it'll go back and forth between us. been like this for years, i mostly ignore it. but once in a while it'll happen from time to time. to comment why i originally was disappointed the head was the same. one of our long time members @anime52k8 4g had a head that was damaged in the face chin area and i think there may have been another with the same problem. and i commented they could have improved on the head design.

Expand Thank you! I'll have to dig up the render, or I could just post the shapeways sites - I did end up making more variations when the master file book came out. Here is the page where you can see all the alternate designs; https://www.shapeways.com/shops/RPG?section=Macross+VF%2FYF+Upgrades&s=0 They print good and i test fitted them all successfully - they also come with 2 new face plates now; And the old original desing; https://www.shapeways.com/product/6NVH992MQ/vf-4c-g-k-old-custom-head-unit?optionId=41029965 If there is enough interest, I can go nack into the files and tweak them so they print as one piece or as few as possible to bring the price down marginally - alternatively, I could take orders to do a small run on a Form2 resin printer I have access to. My Shapeways site is largely abandoned these days. Quote
