Best of Yamato, Arcadia, and Bandai

[ErikElvis]

Man this is really hard. 
 

arcadia/Yamato love vf-4g fighter mode

bandai really like the 171’s and 25’s. 
 

if I went through my collection I’d prob change my mind 30 times. 

[tekering]

Yeah, I've already changed my mind.  I love Yamato's 1:48 Woodland GBP, and think it's been unfairly overlooked:

Why not just take the whole display?  

@tekeringare all those ships in the same scale? Super impressive display! How do you manage to support the weight of that star destroyer?

Wow that's a beauty.

 

Are those star trek ships prebuilt models?

Yeah, it's my current favorite from Yamato... at least, among Macross toys.  

I tried to keep my answers Macross-specific, but Yamato did some fabulous Votoms toys, Arcadia's Garland tops any of their Valkyries, and Bandai produces action figures, toys and models from so many great properties... I wouldn't even know how to choose!

Almost exclusively, yeah.  There are Furuta/F-Toys, Eaglemoss, Johnny Lightning, Hallmark... lots of companies represented there.

More-or-less, yeah... the starships in that display range from 1:2850 to 1:3200.  My ships are arranged by scale, not by manufacturer.

Repulsorlift technology.  It's a galactic standard.

What company makes the best prebuilt models in your opinion?

 

Wow those eaglemoss ships are so inexpensive.

That's because you can't see it. Little 6am no coffee camo joke there.

I hope this is the right thread but for those who own both Arcadia and Yamato VF-0S, is the Arcadia just as floppy as the Yamato?

Arcadia is robust 

[Slave IV]

I might as well just add that the Arcadia VF-0S is one of the best Valk toys ever made. Strong contender for #1 along with the DX VF-1 depending on your preference. 

[fenrir72]

Mine, Yamato preowned, flops at the thighs whn I shake him a bit suspended  above a flat surface. And those two boobs of his, it's removable? Again, in my sample. And the pegs that locks to his ""autogun"/weapon's handle is like a pain to  mount on. It also has a seam line in the middle of it's mouth guard.

Mech design appearance wise, yup! Pretty badazz!

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

Best/favorites:

Yamato - Fire Valkyrie

Bandai - DX VF-1S Hikaru but close with either the DX YF-19 and DX VF-31F

For Arcadia I only have the VF-4 and 2 VF-1’s, haven’t handled any of their Macross Zero releases.

[Vintage Fanboy]

The entire Macross Zero series by Arcadia.. they are the best memorabilia toys ever!
