MacrossJunkie Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 3 hours ago, Ryoma said: Macross 7? Then we don't care about that one, right? The armored 11 looks pretty cool and it had a massive gun. I liked the valkyrie designs from 7. There were the VF-19S F and P, VF-22S, VF-17S and D, VF-11C, VF-5000, plus all the Varauta VF's. That was all the show featured. However, I have this recurring hallucination/nightmare about clown faced valks and valks with boobs related to that show for some reason. Fortunately, Kawamori would never design something that silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F360 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 yup, the missiles have pink/purple hue to them just like the sample pics (photo from 2chan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I hope the missiles are individual pieces that are removable. I may need to paint them with an actual white. The pink of the missiles is going to annoy me greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 They don't look like individual removeable missiles to me. I have no problem with the color of any of it. Look forward to getting mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Lol i saw this photo and then i saw spanners rant...what a coincidence... Am glad they didn't touch the white chest covers tho. Like noel said if it aint pink its not arcadia... Its armpit (well sorta) gunpod time!! Edited February 11, 2017 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I hope one day Arcadia can make a white without pink in it. After making missile effects on my HMR Armored Valkyrie, I might try making missile effects for the Reactive Armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I thk the HMR missile effects parts comes with smoke trails for the reaction missiles...then all is needed is to clone the RA missiles on the end of the smoke trail...enough for 6 missiles...

erikos0311 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 What is it with this pink hue ??????? Is Arcadia not aware of this? Is the color intentional because I really don't see were they are going with this. I hate my armored VF-1J because of it. LoL i don't get it, how complicated can it be to mess up white??? Anyways, it's not a deal breaker for the VF-0S. Just got my payment request from HLJ the other day and should be here in the next couple of days. Perks about living in Japan, I always get my pre-orders delivered in less than a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Those missiles dont look that pink in the vid .. The proportions look good, shoulder pads are big but within tolerance i would say. Not sure if he attached the chest portion correctly but the chest piece doesn't seem to be plugged in? Didn't see any clips/tabs at a the back of the chest piece, making his effort to open up the front hatches a lil bit more difficult... Love the back with the red, green and gold colors accents.....and the red trim on the front chest. The markings do also make quite a difference to spicing up the armor!

Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Markings should have been tampoed like the first issue GBP Armor from Yamato. Not a dealbreaker through. Paid mine from HLJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro2k6 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) The guy in the video don't use the replacement tank (those to use with the ghost) in the back to secure the backpack of the armor. And I pretty sure he don't secure well the chest armor. P.S: Maybe the missiles pink hue is because the reflection of the red painting inside the chest and shoulders cover.

SuperHobo Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The missiles look fine to me. I never really had the pink hue problem with arcadia's releases unless I focused and stared at them too hard. As long as they don't turn yellow over time or bright hot pink then I'm okay.

Yea i tot the chest piece looked unsecured, plus he sort of cut the video at the point of attaching the chest. Perhaps he didnt quite know how to do it... As per the missiles, I dont thk its the reflection but probably its due to the final production paint used. The RA demo'ed by Mr K last year didn't seem to have the tint anywhere, even with the red panels opened with bright reflective lights .. Anyway not a big issue, its not that pink. Lastly, seems that the red lining around the chest panel was also a newly added as it didnt exist in the last demo unit...I like that improvement! *i suddenly realised that red lining is probably from the sticker sheet!

HLJ sometimes ships out your stuff really quick , just 2 days ago, I paid at noon uSA time, and they Fedex out that same day. Of course it wasn't the RA but instead my PW that's reaching the Deadline. I preordered my RA from nippon-yasan along with a couple of Hi-metal Missile effects. I select ok in shipping out multiple packages. But NY will probably wait til end of april and then ship everything in 2 separate boxes, with just the RA in one of them.

I have the autopayment system setup at HLJ, the moment they need payment it draws directly from my bank account. No waiting at all on their end. I've never had NY take months to ship something. They're usually pretty fast for me. Edited February 12, 2017 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F360 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 someone on 2chan tested the armor with the VF-0D and this was the result, the rest can not attach due to difference in molding and extra wings and other parts.

sh9000 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think it would look pretty badass on the VF-0D if it did fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
