Deadeye_281 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I prefer the off white VF-1 as it looks a little more realistic/military than the super bright white scheme IMO. That said, we're talking about jets that turn into robots so it really just comes down to personal tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 No arguments here, Deadeye! Discovering those personal tastes has been half the fun for me. And before I forget, a big thank you to everyone who has voted and/or commented thus far. I asked MrK via Twitter about the announcements of the next VF-1 releases and he responded... "It's still a secret" Will they announce something at WF? only time will tell. That would be cool if we got more of a hint, but I need to keep my expectations in check.

Deadeye_281 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'd like to see something new like a full on stealth or SU37 Terminator splinter scheme. No more tuxedo battroids please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 So I thought I'd ask this here since this thread seemed the most relevant. I've got a line on an Arcadia DYRL Roy 1S that I can get locally, I've read that Arcadia went with the nice TV bright white as opposed to the nasty off white that Yamato used on their DYRL valks, my question is can the Arcadia DYRL Roy pass as a TV version Roy 1S? I'm not building a Skull Squadron, I mean I liked DYRL but I'm not double dipping on an entire squad, I'm trying to finish off my TV Vermillion Squad and I need a Roy 1S and Hikaru 1J, Arcadia is releasing a Hikaru 1J with the stupid missile armor so I'll get him then, but I just wanted to know if I'd be safe grabbing the Arcadia Roy 1S to finish off my TV squad.

chyll2 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 question on off white, does it gets yellowish when displayed in an area with sunlight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 TV Roy has black arrows on it's head and comes with the optional rounded tv hands. Those are the main differences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barurutor Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 question on off white, does it gets yellowish when displayed in an area with sunlight? it's not as simple as sunlight/no-sunlight. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41472#entry1140053 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=39370&hl=yellowing#entry1051866 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=38976#entry1037803 my question is can the Arcadia DYRL Roy pass as a TV version Roy 1S I've had my Arcadia Hikaru DYRL 1S next to my Yamato Roy TV 1S, couldn't discern a major difference in the whiteness of the plastic under sunlight FWIW.

Falcon18 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 TV Roy has black arrows on it's head and comes with the optional rounded tv hands. Those are the main differences + the TV vs DYRL pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 For both white and off-white Valkyries, old glue may add a spot of color to the seams: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41425&hl=brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 + the TV vs DYRL pilot. What are the differences between a TV Roy pilot and the DYRL Roy pilot, is it shoulder pads? I always thought they were pretty much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon18 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Big difference actually. TV (credits goes to eyeforthings blog): DYRL (credit goes to hobbygen): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) The flight suit has a new design. Here are some cropped pics from hobbysearch: Edit: Too slow for Falcon18. DYRL Roy TV Roy Edit2: The oldest DYRL Valkyrie I own is my Roy VF-1S, which I bought back in 2008 from valkyrie-exchange.com . It has been in and out in the open air plenty of times over the years and I haven't noticed any yellowing or old brown glue. Unfortunately, I have not been lucky with shoulders on the 'unsafe' v2 Valkyries. My Yamato 1S Roy and the one Hikaru 1A the I own finally developed cracked shoulders.

Tking22 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That's a pretty big difference, I forgot Roy had that colored flight suit in the show, I always remembered him in the big shoulder pad DYRL flight suit. I always thought since he got the badder valkyrie with the extra horses and head lasers he'd have the cooler flight suit with the shoulder pads, either way I think the DYRL pilot is more iconic, I'm grabbing that Arcadia while I can, maybe down the line I'll look to see if I can get my hands on a TV Roy pilot.

Gakken85 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Needs a 4th option. Off white for DYRL and bright white for TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
