happy_spike Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I actually would really love to get this. Can't afford it at the moment, but would love to have it for my 7 collection. Just need the VF-17T for the whole sound force.I know this will be a contentious one! Who else wants one?https://www.facebook.com/macrossworld/posts/695398410543537 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy_spike Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I hope so. Does anyone know more about it. It's a 5 colour resin kit apparently, is It actually transformable? Or is it like the existing kit that just comes with the two modes in it? Edited July 25, 2014 by happy_spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Is it too much to ask for an Arcadia 1/60 variant in late 2015/early 2016? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 A lot of people have said that it wouldn't be possible to make the Maxl variant. I've never been a fan of Experten kits, this being no exception, but it does prove that you can get Fighter and Battroid to look pretty close to the animation without any real compromise. With a higher budget and better engineering likely you could get even closer to the animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, is it a good idea? Could we get Arcadia to re-issue a standard VF-11 first? Lo-viz? Edited July 25, 2014 by Sildani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Boobs. Faces and Boobs. Super cool for those that would want an Arcadia made toy, but another ridiculously easy pass for me. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The detail is impressive for the scale, and I love the heals.I would have thought the white base would have more pink to contrast with the hot pink accents on the shins and upper thighs in Battroid mode. But that's a minor nitpick. Bring on the 1/60 Arcadia release, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I am so VERY tempted. Very, very tempted. I'd be more tempted if I could get it without the sound booster, cheaper. (I hate sound boosters) And yes, the PURE white is a bit disappointing. Should be "very pale pink". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Actually, my main gripe is the legs. Too much like a -19's or something, not "feminine" enough---certainly nothing like the line-art etc. And really--why aren't they? The front and sides of the thighs affect very little in fighter mode, and the calves etc would mainly affect the shield-shape (which is quite off from what it should be---it should notably curve inwards in the middle, to make room for the calves) The calves would also affect the forearms--but again, making it more like the line art. Thinner more concave forearms, to fit alongside the more convex wider calves. Really, the MAXL design *should* work pretty well as it's drawn--but it's like Experten masculinized it or something. Made everything "straight" instead of curved. Forearms, legs, shield, etc. Way too much like a "thinner -19" rather than the actual battroid shape it should have. The fighter mode can be altered as much as needed to accomodate the battroid mode---it'd only affect the outline of the shield, and the cut-outs in the delta-wings. The giant delta wing's outer edge defines the entire fighter mode, that's all the MAXL really needs to "look right" in fighter mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 IMO, Experten have probably standardized the battroid mode too much, but I'm not completely against it. You're right, I think it shouldn't be too hard to make it "look right". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Count me in the apparent minority that I wish Valks had NO breasts. -b. I agree. All Valks are ladies but I don't like full on "oh yeah those are definitely breasteses" on my Valks. I'm ok with some uniboob but I draw the line at a full on pair/mech-bra ...but since the damage has been done I'll probably pick one up if Arcadia ever makes one just to be a completionist. But I swear, THAT's all, Kawamori! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Wah, Wah! Although Macross 7 Valkyries are ripe with innuendo, it is functional and fun innuendo. And where standard designs do not always embrace a certain character or flamboyance like the Fire Bomber Valkyries, I think it's great that there a few that do. It reminds me of how ace pilots on all sides dressed up their fighters in WWI. Edited July 26, 2014 by technoblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Enjoy the future: 140721a.jpg I think they went a little overboard with the feminine look for her Valkyrie in M7.. it always looked kinda silly. They could have just made her valk a girly color rather than almost completely remodeling it with more curves and boobs.. Boobs. Faces and Boobs. Super cool for those that would want an Arcadia made toy, but another ridiculously easy pass for me. -b. hmmm yep same! They're a B-Cup at best, dude. Mylene is only young after all.. hehe!

happy_spike Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 I agree that it could have done without the boobs, but the overly stylised valks is part of the whole pop-rock themed sound force. KISS didn't exactly tone it down did they? I think it's a great idea and even with the mecha-bra I think it's a great design. I think it's great that Kawamori has created a variety of designs that cater to every taste! Not everyone is going to like them all and they don't need to.
