The Red and Yellow skulls are beautiful ... Do you have a rough estimate of when these are expected to go live?

Rough estimate is during the Q1 2025 for now.

Has anyone ever made stands or adapters for 1/55 Valkyries?

I'm working on some. I bought a bunch of Archi Stands for my 1/55 customs a while back and what's missing are adapters for them. It's not going to be a fast design process, though, since the basic 1/55 adapter would be different than the one for Super/Strike, the one for the Elint, and the one for the Ostrich. And that's just Fighter mode. I think I can get away with one for Battroid mode (except for GBP) and one for Gerwalk mode. So...at least six different adapters have to be designed.

Glorious. Will there be a break if one buys the whole set of bases?

It would be cool if you could just replace the emblems like the ones on the Bandai DX Super/Strike parts so you can use the same stand on multiple toys.

Maybe so, but what they accomplished already is pretty fantastic!

I have purchased 4 UN Spacy Stands and 3 Pros. And I was originally excited to hear there were Skull Squadron versions in the works. But after seeing these I am very conflicted if I will be picking up any. 
 

First, there is no black skull emblem . And I am not aware of an instance where Roy had one in yellow. 
 

Even if there was a black logo, having Roy’s name on it would limit it from being used for Hikaru TV VF-1S , Flashback Vf-4  and potentially Hikaru and Max DYRL VF-1S depending on ones personal preference.  Heck, it could even go with the KO Skull Jetfire God of Flame.

So just a suggestion, release a plain black version and I see myself picking up at least 3 because of versatility  

As for these, they do look great! But they are also limited to what they can be used for so I am just not sure

Adding one more of the type you mentioned seems like a good idea, but these are a good start. I know I'd be interested in a set of these as bases, and maybe two of Kakizaki.

These look great but they’re so limiting to what toy you can use them with given they have both the colors and pilot names on them. The previous limited edition logo was perfect.

Part of me would like them to not have any text, it's true, but I'd most likely use them with matching valks. Hell, another part of me would love to have the series logo on them (a step too far, I know), but they are pretty damned cool already.

I suppose a sticker set might be an option if they didn't have text. Of course, plain versions of the stand with all designs being stickers or decals would be possible then. Not sure that's best, but I'd have been on board for that too.

I also vote for a plain black version. No name. Make it work for any VF-1/VF-4/VF-0 etc we see from skull squadron. (plus, black looks cool)

Kinda defeats the aesthetic these were conceived for. I guess black acrylic would still be stronger than any original stands, though.

No, not the stand itself.  Just the logo.  Not red/blue/yellow/green, but black.  

A simple black circle with a white skull and bones.

Thank you for Black Skull feedback.

I will communicate with the supplier and see if this is possible for future.

@BroTaku79 The Skull Squadron stands look good ,but like others I would also prefer the black Jolly Rogers logo; too the yellow! It should match the emblem on the fast pack! 

Please give me a heads up when available so I can place my order! Thanks

@BroTaku79, I wonder if we can now get ThreeZero VF-1-compatible adapters for use with these stands? I'd be interested in a few.

Oops, I totally forgot lol

Threezero, we are considering it but we will see...our capacity is very limited right now.

Arcadia V2 grey market DYRL. Really happy with it. Even came with clear super parts which I was not expecting. 

Do you mean the Valkyrie Factory release?

Actually yes. I forgot they were VF. My understanding based on Arcadia v2.

Ah yes, I realize now you are referring to the title of the thread where it's mainly discussed. A bit of a misnomer now, as the Valkyrie Factory/Fugu releases are pure knockoffs. (Serviceable ones though!)

Probably in the future, but nothing has been decided yet.
