Bolt Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Lol! That gif pretty much sums up what I think of Arcadia. Aww.. I miss the buttons! Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 So, pics are out from WonFest, looks like the wings aren't drooping by some miracle. ¥36,800 and August 2019 Quote
seti88 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 more pics at http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=12222 lookin good! man between this the PF 0D, yellow's ride and legioss...i dont know how to allocate which to get (other than the no brainer for yellow's ride),.... Quote
Lolicon Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Just came back from Wonderfest. Sharing pics. SV-51 looks amazing in person. Quote
apptt4 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 not showing it as premium finish? i guess they will release standard then PF at later date. it looks amazing Quote
Dobber Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Not really seeing any improvements....sculpt-wise....over the old Yamato. Though the sculpt was pretty spot on on the Yammie. I’m guessing any improvements will be internal and joint strength? Chris Edited February 10, 2019 by Dobber Quote
Ryoma Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I don't know if you guys already noticed but there are two little, transparent, plastic stand under both wings...not a good sign in my opinion. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 It would need stronger joints and wings for sure. Quote
Sildani Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 This is a hand-painted prototype. Not surprised it needs the wing supports. The real toy cannot, though, or it’s not really an improvement. Quote

Sildani Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 They sure did. ¥36,800, due in August. Quote

Chris am wondering that too, it doesnt look like anything significant has changed, except perhaps dark colored intake blades...will await arcadia's promotional blogs which normally shed light on their valks leading up to release...

TrickyCustomer Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Man it really doesn't look a whole lot different from the yamato version. A few extra markings wouldn't hurt it. It looks too underwhelming for my liking. That sucks because I have been looking forward to this one for awhile. I will have to wait and see what the pf version looks like. Hope those wings will hold up ok too. Quote
technoblue Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Mm, I really like the clean look—more than I thought I would—but I think I’m going to wait for the reviews on this one befoe making a go/no go on placing an order. It would also be cool if Arcadia, at some point, posts a blog update summarizing the work they’ve done on this iteration of the SV-51. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Not a huge 0 fan but I will probably get one. Waiting for n03l to post some sweet wallet gifs haha Quote

borgified Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Looks impressive on Arcadia's retake on the 51. Can anyone digi-bash it into Nora's version (it doesn't have to be spot on colourwise if possible?) Pricewise for 36.8k yen is still a chunk of change for many of us. Quote

I need solid proof that they were able to fix that if they want my money. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense to buy this release and i will gladly stick to my Yamato. Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Looking at these pics of the Arcadia SV-51 goes to show just how well designed the Yamato version was, I see very few if any changes in design. While I don't like assumptions, I'm going to "assume" the plastic they're using is better, double joints everywhere, better tabs and like the VF-0's there's metal in those legs & arms/shoulders. Price is a bit high however if this one has some serious "Swoosh-ability" going on without everything going uber floppy then I'll save up for this one. Quote

It's not like these were hand-drawn, they had the original CG models to work from in the first place. The plastic wing supports are not making me think this will be worth the asking price. I think the only thing that would convince me to buy one of these now is if they pulled your splinter scheme out of their hat. I don't need more of the ones I already have, and still display fine..

lechuck Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Can't really put my finger on it. I suppose it will be a quality toy, but momentarily I could not convince myself to spend that money on it and I never even had the Yamato version. This in contrast to having no problems spending the cash and pre-ordering MP Optimus ver. 3.0. Quote

Heh heh, yeah that would be something Sculpt-wise the only thing I can think that could be improved upon from the Yamato is the the ventral stabilizers. They didn’t fold down enough on the Yamato version. I doubt this will fix that error but we will see. Chris Quote
mickyg Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I'm not sure if this is a prototype on display or if anyone has posted a comparison between the Yamato version and this one, but to my eye, I'm not seeing any obvious differences in the areas I'd expect it most - Panel lines. The Yamato release, for all it's massiveness and intimidating looks, had very overscale panel lines. This one looks the same to me. Unless we can get a decent comparison up, I'm only relying on my likely biased memory. I'll see if I can dig something up today... Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Does this help? I am pretty sure the tolerances are tighter, but until I see a review that really demonstrates clearly defined reasons why this a must buy, then I think I can definitely live with my Yamato. Quote
Bolt Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Does anyone know if this is an “all new sculpt” or a reissue, like the VF-4G? Quote
bleecher Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Other than the legs (look carefully), everything else looks the same to me. Still am very interested in getting this figure, but would want to know if the Premium Finish version is being planned. Quote
Zx31 Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 As Chronocidal already pointed out, it should look the same as the Yamato Valk because it was already a 3D model. The real differences will be in the engineering. Quote
