nautilus Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 A view inside the Arcadia offices on Forbes. Perhaps more Megazone the MACROSS, but still nice to hear what the designers have to say.https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2017/09/08/arcadia-talks-about-how-it-makes-the-best-macross-and-megazone-23-toys-out-there/#47206ecfe974 Quote
Focslain Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Yoshiya Kanke is my new hero of a toy maker. His wish list of what he wants to do is 100% on my to buy list. Hopefully with the re-release and retelling of LOGH his boss will let him do the ships. Quote
nautilus Posted September 8, 2017 Author Posted September 8, 2017 Now that is something I had not considered.... Arcadia doing Seigfried's Flagship? Just take my money. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 It's nice to know they want to revisit M+ and create a T.V. SDF-1. Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Great article! I'm glad to see that Arcadia would like to make a TV SDF-1. Quote
Dobber Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 I have the standard sdf-1 on preorder, but I may have to cancel it...it's just sooo expensive. We are just ensuring these things never become more affordable by buying at these prices. Like the article pointed out many of these things are already created molds but the prices are still astronomical like they are trying to make the money back on the molds. Just sucks for me is all.

nautilus Posted September 8, 2017 Author Posted September 8, 2017 I wish I had something hopeful, or rational to add there, but I cannot disagree. if a normal 1/3000 TV version toy did show up at the same price as the Movie version, I'd think about it, but then consider what could be had for the money. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 I definitely wanted and sdf-1 but there were to many other things competing for those dollars on my wishlist haha There are so many great figures coming out that spending $600 on a single one didn't seem like a great value. It's all subjective though. I'm glad these toys are available for someone to enjoy. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Now we have some clue how copyright work for Arcadia...it seem that they don't need to buy the entire series for copyright holder...they just need the approval for the specific toy they are asking. Quote

And yet, buying at these prices is the only way we ensure these things get produced. Without sufficient sales, they're not going to take the financial risk of manufacturing more product of this quality, so the inevitable result is lower-quality product (if we're lucky), or none at all. So if you want it, man up and buy it. If you want to see similar products released, man up and buy it. We, the small market they are catering to, have got to support the product. That's the bottom line. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 main point of article and some good advice! everyone buy the new molds to see more new molds. please!!! Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 TV SDF-1? New SV-51 and YF-21? Throws money at screen Quote
dizman Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 TV SDF-1.... YF-21...... VF-9?! Listen to the man and make them Arcadia! Quote
Boobytrap Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Oh man, the news about a TV SDF-1 has got me drooling. The fact that they are seeking copyright approval means that, as a company, they already intend to make it. It's not just the toy designers wish list item. Please please please get the green light on that copyright approval. Quote
Sildani Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Hey, a new VF-11B! Probably not until 2019 at the earliest though. Quote

Sandman Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Is Yoshiya Kanke, Mr. K? Edited September 8, 2017 by Sandman Quote
505thAirborne Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Great article and what new Macross toys could be possible, I am very happy by this... my wallet however is frightened, but the chance for a all new YF-21 & TV SDF-1 I say make it so Arcadia!! By the way that mention of Kawamori complimenting the VF-0D says a lot for the quality & design that Arcadia is capable of. Quote

By the way that mention of Kawamori complimenting the VF-0D says a lot for the quality & design that Arcadia is capable of. The thing I found most interesting is that they don't do their own design, they have dedicated design houses such as T-Rex. Which means that they have some very good design houses they work with, and Arcadia works more on the planning, management, and manufacturing side. Quote Once we get permission from the copyright holder and they give us their own requirements, we then put in an order to a design studio such as T-Rex for example. Then T-Rex does all the planning as well as the engineering design. Quote
Sandman Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 That Hagin is so niche even within a niche that I doubt it will see well. I hope it doesn't kill the line. It's funny the head of Arcadia said no to the LOGH ships. From the way they are talking it seems like the VF-11b is a long shot. Which makes the 11c an even longer shot. Makes me wonder if they even own the Yamato mold. I hope we can at the very least get a re-release of the Yamato mold if they don't do a new mold. I hate the cockpit heat shield of the Yamato mold but it's better than nothing. Quote

Aye, and T-Rex have been responsible for some real gems the last few years. If they are brought in by Arcadia to handle a TV SDF-1, I'd have it despite any reservations on cost. Quote

Plus they can use the design of the Yamato as a baseline for the articulation and transformations. Quote
ChristopherB Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Great article, I was so excited when the VF-9 Cutlass was mentioned. It's funny, but I was just thinking about it today, which is a nice coincidence. Quote
nautilus Posted September 9, 2017 Author Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Now I cannot get the VF-9 out of my head.... In Go Faster Red. Never knew I wanted one so much till now... Edited September 9, 2017 by nautilus spooling errahs! Quote
