no3Ljm Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Here's another reference from Valkyrie Addict's post over 'Custom DYRL VF-1J GBP-1S Armor'. Hasegawa 1/72 VF-0S Reactive Armor | Yamato 1/60 VF-1J GBP | 1/144 TECT VF-11C Full Armor *snip* Since there's so much armor....Arcadia, I would pay horribly scalp prices for a 1/60 VF-0S Reactive armor and VF-11C Full Armored 1/72 Hasegawa Reactive Armor, 1/144 TECT VF-11C Full Armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) So, what is tampo'd and what is not on this (VF-0S) toy? I have lost track. Edited December 22, 2015 by funkymonkeyjavajunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) You may be right. I suppose I'm just not used to "bigger" scales in general. 1/144 Gundam, Yukikaze, and scale aircraft kits were my norm until recently. The 0S is definitely bigger than, say, most MG 1/100 Gundam kits, though. It really depends on what their actual height is. You will really see their height differences when you start comparing a Perfect Grade 1/60 Gundam to a 1/60 scaled VF-1/0. RX-78-2 Gundam - 18m VF-1S Battroid - 12.68m So, what is tampo'd and what is not on this (VF-0S) toy? I have lost track. You can check @EFSF's photos.

Early release of Arcadia, again, high price without markings... eventually Arcade might fail comparing with Bandai DX series? http://gundamatefsf.blogspot.hk/2015/12/quick-snaps-arcadia-160vf-0s.html Edited December 22, 2015 by no3ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic, I'm more excited about the Eotech Red dot and magnification set coming in. I bought the shapeways balls for the socket just in case.

spanner Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 sorry if I missed the conversation about the specific tampo details but are the fast packs tampo'd with unspacy on the final version? if so that seems rather strange that they would tampo those parts and not the legs!? I can see more folks displaying the valkyrie without add on parts than with.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundam@EFSF Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I want it in Roy's scheme too. And I understand everyone's sentiments regarding the tampo prints, price point and whatnot. But we're already beyond that. Mr.K already posted a blog about the price increase before. It's either we accept it or don't buy their products anymore because it's missing this, and it's missing that. It's why I already gave up hope and expectations from this company when it comes with tampo prints. But either way, I'm still buying their VF-0S. Great pics, @EFSF! I'm curious though on the left shoulder armor (the one on right area of the photo). On the black paint area towards the bottom, I notice some minor scratch at the edge of the black paint. Is that from transformi just saw it... perhaps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) wow I didnt realise the degree in which the 0S head guns could tilt and shoot upwards in fighter mode!

kajnrig Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Call it blasphemy but I almost like this better than the vf-1s... To be fair, it pretty much IS the VF-1. You know, a "Ver. Ka" VF-1, if you will. It surprises me that Kawamori et al haven't gone about "officially" updating their 80s/90s designs the way Sunrise has... multiple times. The VF-0 kind of fills that role, as does the VF-25 to a lesser extent, but not the VF-1 itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VF-0 kind of fills that role, as does the VF-25 to a lesser extent, but not the VF-1 itself. Because there's no need to update the VF-1 since it's based on real plane when it was first designed. Majority of the valk designs is just done by Kawamori, whereas Gundams, mainly RX-78, have different designer for each incarnation or interpretation. Besides, IF they did update the VF-1's designs, they need to incorporate it to the story. And the only time that the VF-1 had 'updates' (VF-1J's new head design and paint patterns) is in the Macross The First manga.But yeah, I'm curious also to see an updated VF-1 ala-Ver.Ka approach. Hmmm. Come to think of it, it reminds me of the look of the DX 1/35 VF-1 that was displayed on the Tamashii show month ago. That's the nearest one I could think of as an update because of how it looks, detail-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
