As for the 'Captain Type' version, they're aiming for next year release (2024?). After their 1/24 Hargun. Quote
Jasonc Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 I'm really itching for this as a toy. I do hope it gets a release, but if it is going to be released, I guess we'll only know based on if pre-orders start popping up. Quote

No worries. For specifics, the Captain Type is what Arcadia is going to release. The Production Type is still undecided. As far as the color goes, we're not 100% sure which is accurate due to the fact that the more lighter photo we saw is taken at the convention. Whereas the photo above is more from a controlled light scene which it might be how it's going to look on the final release. Let's hope. Quote

We already know the color, there's just a bunch of people here who don't want to admit it. Quote

I really, really want it. I think if more people saw it in person, they'd probably be a lot more excited for it. If not, I don't think anything can help at that point, but that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions... Quote

M'Kyuun Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 I love the VF-5000's design, and the toy looks great so far as sculpt, but I find the teal, white, and yellow color scheme to be atrocious. I'd prefer that Mirage version, but what I really want is the 'B' series color scheme. Just lovely. Not sure what Kawamori's fascination with yellow is as a heavy accent color, but it just looks terrible to me. But then, I don't like the color yellow very much to start with; it's fine on construction equipment, not so much on aircraft. The tan bits on the 5000B, and on the VF-4A look alright, though- just enough for break-up without being overwhelmingly nauseating. Quote
glane21 Posted April 26, 2023 Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) How does the “5000” nomenclature jive with the rest of the variable fighter sequence numbering? I mean it is in the same timeframe as the VF-19 and 22 then it jumps all the way to 5000? Just wondering. Edited April 26, 2023 by glane21 Quote

Just wondering. http://sdfyodogawa.mywebcommunity.org/Stats/Statistics.php#Variable_Fighters The above link should clarify how it all fits together. The VF-5000 dates from the 2010's. The VF-19 & VF-22 begin development in the mid 2030's, and their production models are from the 2040's. http://sdfyodogawa.mywebcommunity.org/MCRmechanic/All01aVFmasterpiecesVF-1.php http://sdfyodogawa.mywebcommunity.org/MCRmechanic/All01bVFmasterpiecesVF-17-19-22.php http://sdfyodogawa.mywebcommunity.org/MCRmechanic/All01cVFmasterpiecesYF-24family.php Edited April 26, 2023 by sketchley Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 26, 2023 Posted April 26, 2023 That makes sense. I didn't know that. Reminds me of iPhone models: 1, 3G, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, X, 11, 12 and so on. Thanks for sharing @sketchley. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 The Mirage version is GORGEOUS, and I would buy in an instant--but is it "fanon"? We barely saw her sit in an M&M VF-9 in Delta, I don't think there's anything about her using a 5000? (but again---WOULD BUY) Quote

MKT Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 Not so hung up about the variant or colors, but still very much excited because it is a new mold. And we know Arcadia has never shown any new mold and then KIV-ed it. *cough* DX YF-21 *cougghhh* Quote
VF8000G Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 Why is this taking so long to come out? Feels like it was unveiled forever ago. Quote

Jasonc Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 The no update may actually be a good thing, hopefully. It could mean that there isn't much to update, but it could also mean that they're just behind. I really wish I could go to WF this summer. Quote
sjoebarry Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 I got money burning a hole in my pocket for this damn thing. Come on Arcadia! Quote
Bolt Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 This is like the only 1/60 i may buy in a few years..! Patiently waiting Quote
MKT Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Arcadia can take all the time they like, as long as any issues are ironed out and there won't be any first print mold errors. Quote

The 31AX issue reminded me of this all over again. It does seem like they are slow walking this release, and with the time they've been spending, one would think they have found all the potential issues, but then again, nothing beats regular use of a toy with the exact materials. Fingers are crossed. Quote
jvmacross Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Just hoping they don't go BK before they can release it... 🤞 Quote
