VF-Zero Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) nice 🙂 Arcadia makes and i buy, we are two sides of a coin, we are a force in balance. This is the way of things. Edited February 6, 2022 by VF-Zero Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Yes!!! Finally a new mold!! I'm in. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 It looks great, but it already appears that the booster needs to be removed for gerwalk and remounted for battroid or fighter modes. Quote

danth Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Between this and the Tread, it's gonna be a bad time to have a mortgage in California. Quote
Knight26 Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 I'm in, this might be first primary market buy in a long time. Quote
kajnrig Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 It's the size of a VF-1? Really? It certainly fills out... Quote
Mommar Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 A bunch of Japanese fans are already asking for a 3000 now too. I chimed in praising them for making the obscure stuff the true fans want, then suggested a 1/3000 SDFM Macross. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Holy crap, this is the best kind of surprise. One noteworthy point, you can see the tires in the legs rotated to lay flat. Nice to see them taking that step after all these years. Definitely in for a pair, depending on pricing, but I hope they dig up a few alternate schemes to milk the mold with, since the stock one never really appealed to me. Quote
wmkjr Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) @Tage If your still here, are you gonna get one of these to go with yours? Edit: Seems T-Rex is involved in this project. Since it's got the supers, why not throw in the variant head and speakers? Edited February 6, 2022 by wmkjr Quote
Mommar Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 12 hours ago, MKT said: Liking all the news coming out of WF so far.. Sentinel Tlead, Arcadia Hargun and now this VF-5000G! Since the VF-5000 is about the size of the VF-1, here's hoping but likely wishful thinking they won't price it much higher than the VF-1... Size isn’t the only determining factor in price though. This looks like a VF-1 but the transformation is more complicated. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 I'd definitely buy all these variants as well. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) The VF-5000 always looked like a cross between the VF-1 and VF-19 for me, but it's got a few unique bits to the transformation, especially how the arms fold up. And yeah, I would personally prefer all of those variants to the default scheme, but that's not going to stop me from buying the first release. Edited February 6, 2022 by Chronocidal Quote
Mommar Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 I was about to ask if there were variant liveries. I’m down for the grey/yellow and the blue striped versions. Quote
jealous37 Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 I'm so excited for this. I love getting a new design to add to my collection. Quote

Here's another one, @Mommar. The VF-5000B from Macross Plus game. I like this one more even though it's blue. From Macross Mecha Manual. Edited February 6, 2022 by no3Ljm Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Not sure if it's canon. But I like the Dark Star by Maester March. Quote

From Macross Mecha Manual. That's not bad. I don't know if I like it as much as the blue on white though. The blue on white harkens back to classic Max. The extra beige highlights on the nose and the joints do make a nice accent that isn't present on the white and blue/red versions. Quote

Dobber Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 I literally prefer ALL of those other schemes shown above to the announced color scheme. Chris Quote
sh9000 Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 The blue striped and red striped variants are Max and Milia’s from Macross M3 which make them extra nice. Here’s a cool custom scheme from Maester March. Quote

close313 Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Theres a certain charm that Arcadia has with their valks. This is really a must get, until I see the price 🤑 Quote

aurance Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 I always liked how the lower arm missile pods fold up from fighter to battroid. It’s a bit more unique than the later “put a shield there” transformations. Quote
seti88 Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Arcadia? Bandai? pfffttt...😄 Nice video to gauge the transformation, size, etc Edited February 7, 2022 by seti88 Quote
Sandman Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Wow I’m shocked at this announcement. I was hoping for a vf-11b but I’ll take this. Quote

Something Bandai era valks seem to not have anymore. Quote

But let's use official stats in Fighter form since there's no available stats for Battroid and Gerwalk mode for the VF-5000. Based on Macross Mecha Manual, the VF-19 Fighter length is 18.47 meters. The VF-5000 Fighter length is 14.03 meters. The VF-1 Fighter length is 14.23 meters. I'm guessing in Battroid mode, it will stand or close to VF-1 or VF-11.

Macross dialect/colloquial/accent is what makes the macross world go round... Ma-Ma... Just bought a valk......took out the card and couldn't wait, pressed F5 and now is paid... Yup, its as if we could travel to the future to see how easy/hard it is. The whole arm folding on to itself is a sight to behold..(although am not sure if thats how its actually supposed to turn out?) A different type of transformation always brings an added dimension to so-called valk magic! Quote
