warrhead Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 No, just the prototype shown before the actual release was glossy. Graham sold one of the prototypes here in the forums. The 1/60 YF-21 has a matte finish. Hmmmm, I don't have one anymore, but are you sure about that? I specifically remember gloss. Quote
Loop Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Maybe he means one of the older ones, like the 1/72 Yamato. Quote
warrhead Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Yes, he did. However I am a prior owner of both the 1/60 and the 1/72, but haven't had either in-hand for years, -I'm probably mixing memories. ...kinda miss those 21's in spite of their flaws. Quote
seti88 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 might wonderfest be the big reveal? First shot of color from arcadia's twitter! Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I really hope we get some fixed hands like fists. I mean the stock hands are fine in battroid but they might look terrible with all the armor on Quote
seti88 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 There isnt any fixed hands shown throughout the development blog's on the RA. I thk you would need to cross fingers for closed fingers... Back to the colored pic.... The top armor part also looks matt but the dark blue pieces look a lil glossy. On the bottom, that's nice BLUE color wouldnt you say? phew! Quote
spanner Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 oooh! painted preview parts! looks pretty good I guess.. yes some closed fists would be a nice inclusion and these add on parts would present the best opportunity for them to actually make em but all we can do is cross our fingers, wait and prey Arcadia come good with our hopes! Quote
seti88 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Its BLUE! blue? DARK Blue! Opening shoulder gimmick! LOL i don't thk thats exactly canon but heck at least it frees up the arm for some movement. kinda like iron man suiting up? Looking good cant wait to see the whole suit!! Quote
Jasonc Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 It's a little too cool of a blue and need a lighter grey in there to make it not contrast so much. I don't remember what the animation color came out to, but from what I remember my reaction being, it was pretty damn nice looking. I'd be happy with it being more grey than blue. Quote
technoblue Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I had been thinking of selling my spare 0S recently, but the new armor set pictures are causing me to have doubts. Edit: Welp, never mind that now. Keeping one bare and one to armor up. Edited July 24, 2016 by technoblue Quote
seti88 Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Boom! DOUBLE BOOM! AWESOME!! Is the armor a gloss or semi gloss coat? Sure looks like it went through a polish and wax! Loving the mid section 3 pack and this RA looks straight out of M0! Quote

spanner Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Boom! yeah baby! I still think the shoulder pad / missile pod things are a wee bit big but im still diggin it! not sure if i need to buy an additional VF-0S for these bad boys or just fit em to one I already got..?? Edited July 24, 2016 by spanner Quote
seti88 Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 THANKS FOR THE POST IXTL! yeah baby! I still think the shoulder pad / missile pod things are a wee bit big but im still diggin it! not sure if i need to buy an additional VF-0S for these bad boys or just fit em to one I already got..?? not only may you need an additional 0S but you may need additional RA'S and maybe some more 0A's cos dat RA on the 0A looks boss! Hows that for maxing out the abbreviations in a sentence haha... Quote
spanner Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 hehe! I think I'll stick to maybe just the one extra Zero-S.. otherwise im gonna have to resort to bad things in order to raise all the extra cash! Quote
spanner Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 I see they are available at a few places but dang they commanding big bucks! I wonder what are the chances that Arcadia will re-issue the Zero-S on or around the time the RA parts come out?? Fudge sticks.. I knew I should've got three of em to begin with.. Quote
F360 Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Video of the Armor from Hobby.deneki at the live event. pretty detail on what's what too. https://youtu.be/HO8apQ3__OQ?t=14603 Edited July 24, 2016 by F360 Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Good ol' Mr. K! I can only listen to so much of that host's voice though. Quote
Scyla Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 When looking at the line art it seems that the armor for the wings is enclosing them. On the shown image this piece is missing. Did Arcadia forget to design that part or is it just missing? Quote

Did Arcadia forget to design that part or is it just missing? Do you mean the piece that covers the wings on the back of the Valkyrie? That piece is there. Quote
Scyla Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Do you mean the piece that covers the wings on the back of the Valkyrie? That piece is there. No, I meant that the armor for the wings should be enclosing the wings on the front also. Hm, maybe I just misinterpreted the image shown on the Macross Mecha Manual. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 So...uh...is that the same shade of blue as the VF-0D? *runs and ducks for cover -b. Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 So...uh...is that the same shade of blue as the VF-0D? *runs and ducks for cover -b. Definitely a lighter shade than the 0D. Quote
Garfinkel Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Not to stir the blue pot too much but.... The stills look like the same colour as the prodction 0D while the sample in the dengeki video looks more like the pre production 0D with the nice unsaturated blue. I expect something like the 0D in tone at release. Quote
seti88 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Looks like the RA blue is close to the GBP color...probably coincidental, arcadia is probably leveraging their supplier of 0D blue... Which i thk would look nice if the RA and GBP posed together... Edited July 25, 2016 by seti88 Quote
arbit Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 This isn't working for me. The sculpt is too gaudy and the blue is too dark. Let's see if it grows on us. Quote
seti88 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Screencaps from f360/sh9000 posts of video promo video with mr k ... I can tell its quite well built from the degree of pressure mr K had to apply in dissembling the armor.. Quote
