Arcadia 1/60 SV-51 Ivanov

[Shukenzero]

Looks great. What’s not so great will be the price. Won’t be a cheap valk.

Thank goodness. Why more stands don’t do this confuses me. Especially Bandai with their parts heavy partsforming HMRs. 

Having stands that store the HMR parts would totally solve my main issue with HMR. I have a few on my desk. Everytime i look at them I want to transform them. Then I remember i have to fish the parts out of the box. So i just don't bother.

Exactly! They are fun toys but I don’t want to store the parts needed to do anything anywhere but in the original box. If there were specific stands made for them with storage built in, it would increase playability factor significantly. Hopefully they do that with the similar arm stand they have teased. Any company that makes toys that NEED additional parts to just play with the toy should include a parts holding stand. I’m looking at you Bandai and SOC! I know they sometimes do come with stands that hold stuff but they usually don’t hold nearly enough as the toy comes with and that you would need.

I honestly think Arcadia is going to go for color seperation akin to RG kits.  I see most on hinged areas for strength yes, but in other areas it doesnt look like its slaved to function.

Looks like they modified the base of the Launch arms. I'm guessing they made it into a container for the valk's accessories. 

Too bad the Super/Strike Parts and GBP can't fit in those containers.

Probably true. I'm thinking this will cost us around Y36000-Y40000. This is based on their VF-0S price. So for me, this is more like a one-off kind of thing. Couldn't afford to have two so I'm leaning towards Ivanov only.

You guys can probably do something DIY. Buy some small plastic box container like medicine/pill box type from a dollar store and drill a hole on the cover to attach the stand. Problem solved.

These organizers are amazing

[Chronocidal]

In all honesty, I'm disappointed they aren't farther along than this.  At this stage, I think the only actual difference I see is that they changed the wing and knee joints a bit, and maybe helped close up the gap under the head in fighter.

Maybe I'll treat it like the VF-0 and grab one for completion, but I can't justify replacing my existing set.  It's not like the shape of the original was ever inaccurate, so these changes aren't going to make much difference when viewing one from a shelf.  

[Sanity is Optional]

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on price) I don't already have any of these, so I'm probably in for at least 1.

[Cowboy17]

As long as they fix the god-awful wing hinges of the yamato version it's worth it. 

[mickyg]

...and those trench-like panel lines. 

[Lolicon]

Gonna be too expensive for multiples. Just one for me too.

[TrickyCustomer]

I hope the wings don't sag as much as the original. But regardless, this is a must buy for me. Both regular and premium. 

[brouken]

Sorry if this was already asked before, but since the SV-51 will come with the boosters, is there any inkling that Arcadia will release an updated Ghost Booster pack for their VF-0? The reactive armor is nice and all, but I would really like the option to dress up my VF-0 with the Ghost Booster pack. After all, its the pre-cursor to the Super Packs we all know and love. 

[obakesan]

ohhhh. could do with some launch arms. wonder if they would support a 1/48 or just 1/60 only.

It can support both

[Mommar]

Other than a very specific look Yetistands are far superior to the Launch arms.

Some info on the SV-51. It's huge next to the vf-0s. Looks amazing, Can't wait!

Thanks for the post trickycustomer

Interesting to note that, the SV is a new mold made from scratch...

Estimated release date is next year....not much of a surprise there..

No word on pricing as yet...

loving the chase view...

[TrickyCustomer]

No problem, glad they have addressed the wings. Mine bow a little with all the ordinance and boosters hooked up. It definitely looks impressive, and they got rid of that gap behind the head in fighter mode the yam version had. I know for certain my wallet is losing cash for this one.

The chasing view is awesome!

Looks good.  In for one.

[Mommar]

What’s the wingspan on the old Yamato one?  I’m not sure I’ll have room on my shelves for that sucker in Fighter Mode.

It's just over 12 inches Mommar. I was wondering if it will fit in a detolf too tbh lol

I just did this quickly without the stand and the add-ons in a 45 degree angle. Another suggestion is to up it in pre-deployment mode as one of the episodes of Macross Zero when Ivanoff and Nora are in the hanger together.

[Xigfrid]

I remember having a hard time fitting the sv-51 in the detolf with full armament... Anyway that won’t stop buying this one

I did the launch position pose when I still had my custom. Definitely saves space

Looks mega! I love how versatile the 51 is for displaying. Standby look awesome too. Would love to of seen one return from deployment and go into standby mode in the series. They never showed that. A yeti stand with a VF-0S or another 51 would look good.

The 51 has 4 modes to display in actuality...the 51 stand-by mode would generate discussions by itself when displayed. I hope kawamori-san and future valks would have more of these.

So you want Arcadia now to charge us $800 for that SV-51, yes? 

 

[seti88]

But it will be fully tampoed and/or glows in the dark.

Some kind of diarama would be cool. With the gantry platform going across by the cockpit area. Sounds more like a custom build really than something for general release.

It looks good, just hope those wings are sturdier (better locking mechanism) than the old Yamato 51's.  

[Sanity is Optional]

Well, it doesn't look like they're sagging on the prototype at least. That's a good sign.
