wmkjr Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Arcadia announcement at WF2018 Winter. Price to be determined. Photos from Dengeki Hobby. I like it. I'll put it right next to the 30th valk. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Honestly, the paint scheme looks better without the stickers, but still not a fan. Quote
derex3592 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 well that’s just a whole lot of nope! Quote
mechaninac Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 the VF, but the paint job / livery... just Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Hmmmm, not something I was looking for but I hope other folks enjoy it. Was anything else announced at WF? Quote

I'll put it right next to the 30th valk. To be honest it looks nice. Not sure if I’m going to get it. It would’ve been nice if this is already in Premium Finish format so that all the gold stickers will be tampoed. But since we’re not going to see a DX VF-31J version of this, Arcadia should’ve made the 5000th Production instead. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Still have lots of love for Arcadia, despite some REALLY questionable decisions, but I swear it'd be great if for once they could produce a visually appealing anniversary scheme. -b. Quote

Arcadia didn’t come up with this scheme. It’s the official Macross 35th anniversary scheme. Arcadia just made a Valk with it. Quote

They did however make the choice to make a Valk in this scheme, I wish that they'd make or produce an anniversary Valkyrie toy, regardless of who designed the markings, that actually looks good (understood that aesthetics are personal preference). -b. *edit to add - use any number of popular schemes throughout the years, Enigma, Minmay Guards, etc. and slap a 35th anniversary sticker on the box and call it a day. The result is the same, the celebration of an anniversary Edited February 18, 2018 by Kanedas Bike Quote

But I seem to be one of few who has never liked them. Quote
SuperDimensionalDave Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I man not a fan. Blue and black are two of my favorite colors but blue black and gold? That is not a good color combo for a Valk. I see no celebration here. Quote

I respect Master Tenjin but I don’t like his 2 anniversary schemes. I prefer the Itasha/Deculture designs more than his scheme. Edited February 18, 2018 by no3Ljm Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I would have much preferred Arcadia to release a VF-1D, VF-1S Low Vis or a Low Vis. 1 (Like the old 1/48's) before this one. At least for me this doesn't scream "Buy Me", but for those who like it and get one, have fun with it! Quote
Mommar Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I like the extremely dark cockpit canopy. Quote
derex3592 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I was just about to say that very thing. Quote
Lolicon Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Without all the text, it's actually alright looking. Probably the best anniversary scheme IMO, which really isn't saying much. Probably won't get one, unless it's on sale. Quote

Call me a heretic, but I actually like the all-black with gold panel lines anniversary scheme, also the YF-29 anniversary scheme (since it's essentially a Roy YF-29). Quote
F360 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 this will more likely be an webshop exclusive. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 45 minutes ago, Gabe Q said: It's destined for the bargain bin. This is the main issue I think. These are stupidly niche releases, and they have to know that. It's like they're extremely hesitant to overproduce anything now, and take forever to release the schemes everyone is clamoring for.. but.. then they go and blow who knows how much money to open up a production line for something like this... Maybe they're getting a massive kickback for participating in the anniversary? I don't understand why they would bother making this a general release. Take pre-orders, and make it an exclusive, so you don't lose a ton of money cranking out bargain bin fodder. The scheme is what it is, and I think the super busy paintjobs do a disservice to the design overall, but that's an entirely separate pile of questionable decision making. Quote

BUT since I'm so far out of the game as far as completing the Yamato and Arcadia lineups I probably wouldn't buy the Angel Birds either. 7 hours ago, Mommar said: I thought that was what you were saying.

All good, I'm more fan of the Paris Act than Moon Guard and I can totally see why anyone wouldn't necessarily like either scheme. 4 hours ago, F360 said: this will more likely be an webshop exclusive. That would be pretty smart for Arcadia - as others have already mentioned, I see that destined for a half off sale if it gets a normal release. -b. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 so disappointed with arcadia. nothing new for WF. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 See.. the lack of progress on the SV-51 is probably the biggest reason this is such a let down. Like.. priorities people.. no one's going to buy this, but they will knock down your doors for an update on that old design. Quote

Slave IV Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Decos like this and no other updates is great to me...just means I have more time before I have to some more money on whatever they eventually come out with. Quote

Darotower Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 This scheme of color is not the best at least for me but it's much better than the 30th anniversary! Quote
bbrain Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I'm onboard with this, after it is deeply discounted all my old yamato's will get some option parts =) Quote
neko878 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 The paint scheme looks cool but do I need another VF-1J?? Quote
