Chronocidal Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 At this point, I've just accepted that any Bandai valk is probably going to need some combination of tampo stripping and repainting. Fortunately, the wings are fairly easy to remove, and black is an easy color to match. Quote

You would pass on the DX for that reason? Dude, sell your Arcadia and just buy the DX. The Arcadia was just too flimsy for me. Edited June 14, 2019 by jasonmacross83 Quote

Dude, sell your Arcadia and just buy the DX. The Arcadia was just too flimsy for me. I'm not sure what's wrong with your Arcadia YF-19, but I love mine as is. I find that the DX one is more flimsy due to that gap in the legs in Fighter mode. Not to mention the over-engineered chest transformation. And having both I think is much better to go. Having both is like having the best of both worlds. Flimsy or not. Edited June 14, 2019 by no3Ljm Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I like both, personally. Arcadia is more anime-accurate in appearance, Bandai is more detailed. Plus it has ankles that aren't too weak for gerwalk. Quote
Slave IV Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Yeah, nothing flimsy about my Arcadia but also glad to have both. Quote

Writing on wings or not I'm very happy with the DX but I only started collecting just about when the Delta figures were being released so I missed out on a lot of the Yamato/Arcadia releases. The VF-31J is 421 grams. Edited June 14, 2019 by sumyumgoy Quote

The DX YF-19 has great heft also the Arcadia one, man YF 19 what a beautiful design it has, I have One Yamato YF-19, YF-19 Double Nuts, Arcadia YF -19, VF 19 Advance, and the DX YF-19, best design in my opinion.

The VF-31J is 421 grams. 421? Impressive! It weighs as much as the MP-10 Optimus. Actually you began collecting at the right time. There are a few Arcadias I can't live without. I've sold most of mine two years ago. The Delta valks are masterfully designed Valks (at least IMO). The YF-19 will remain as my favorite design. It just looks amazing in all modes! Quote

Anime accuracy is a must of course! Quote
Foblander Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Did Arcadia address the loose ankles for the YF-19? My Yamato Fire Valk ankles are loosey goosey but still stands in Battroid mode. Quote

My Yamato Fire Valk ankles are loosey goosey but still stands in Battroid mode. No. Arcadia's YF-19 ankles were arguably the worst ever since they were mostly loose out of the box. Mine faceplanted itself once (or rather uniboob planted) in battroid mode and slightly dented the nosecone. I have never trusted leaving it on battroid mode ever since. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I managed to have mine standing up in gerwalk for a few weeks. As soon as I touched it, it decided to fall forward into the cockpit though. Quote
jasonmacross83 Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 As much as I bash the Arcadia, I do regret selling it. The YF-19 is possibly the most attractive Valk design there is. What I would do just to have a DX YF-21 right now. Hell, I would lose my mind if Bandai released a DX Regult with a detailed cockpit. Quote

borgified Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Good Grief!! If the DX YF-21 does get made, you bet that the "New Edwards" tampos will be plastered on the right wing like an eyesore. Edit: It's going to be on both wings actually like the YF-19. Edited July 22, 2019 by borgified Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 I don't care, I still want a DX YF-21. Pretty sure Bandai will do it, given how well the YF-19 sold. Quote

sh9000 Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I’m thinking about going to SDCon to get my YF-19 autographed by Takumi Yamazaki. Quote

Yep, that's definitely the weakness of the Yamatos... not enough tampos. I hate their decals, too, so my poor valkyries have to live with not enough markings. Quote

It looks like overkill at first sight, however you do get used to it after giving it some time. OR If you don't like it, you can copy @tekering's idea and strip off the tampos. Quote
