You've obviously never been to the Southwest. Good luck seeing into the cabin of most cars around here. The thing that made Isamu's 29 look toy-like was the chosen colors all around plus the shiny, cheap plastic.
-
Don't like it, I thought the darker tint was much better looking.
-
Other than possibly not selling well I don't see why they wouldn't redo the whole line. A lot of the mold could be re-used for the 0A/S I believe.

Rewatching 7...Still hate Chie Kajiura's singing.

I think Raptor could have said A LOT worse about the music. -
Even though it's mostly blurred out it isn't shaped like the Maxl. The Maxl doesn't have that antenna sticking out of the nose, which this obviously has. Also, the Delta Wing looks different between the two. And the blurred out feet aren't shaped the same either. I can't imagine this being anything other than the 0D, which is cool, though I'm not sure what kind of a market there is for it outside of us here on the board. Is this another one like the VF-4 that modders like to collect?
-
That's why we're suggesting they leave out interior stuff. Cut out mold costs as well.
-
You would have to take that up with Kawamori then.
-
But all of the Valks in SDFM are already 'bright snow white.'
-
What size (height, width, depth) is that cabinet?
-
That's been my idea for awhile minus the additional internals designed by someone else, but that's because I don't care about any internals. Just find a way to cut down on costs and weight. I don't need a bunch of "gimmicks" just some fun pose-ability I can put next to my Valks. At this point making a (relatively) affordable one in 1/60 you can pose is gimmick enough. With the shell hollowed out that might make it easier to change out assemblies on the front/sides/top of the pod so you could have heavy missiles, or mini-missiles or switch the face out for the Scout version. That's a better gimmick then being able to put an action figure inside it to me.

Wow, I have to say the quality of the sample renders alone is really impressive.
-
I must admit I find that fact they're going ahead with the Alaska Base scheme as odd considering they want more sales however, I believe with that release they've covered EVERY scheme ever between SDFM and DRYL haven't they?
-
Oh, with the knees fully bent now I see why it isn't that stable.
-
Then why would they need to meet the "new kid?" It's a 19, you're more likely to see it from Arcadia then Bandai, if it ever happened.
-
A similar concept to what I'm thinking of, yes. Though I would like for them to be in scale. It's a perfect stance for a gancho too.
-
Yamato/Arcadia Valks ARE niche already. Frontier does not speak for the rest of the series.
-
I do still have my Playmates one as well... What's funny is my ex-girlfriend's 8 year old kid didn't know anything about Macross/Robotech/etc... at all and his favorite out of everything I showed him was that little Toynami Regult. That and the VF-17... It seems like for something like the enemy mecha they need to find ways to cut costs, not make them more expensive. I'm sorry, I know some people really want to pose them opened up with soldiers piloting them but all of those "gimmicks" make it more expensive. A stripped down one with decent poseability is all I'd need. It would still be expensive because of the joints, but it doesn't need anything more than that. Then again I also want nousejadeul_ger's and Zent Battlesuits, etc... You'd think with some of these pretty poseable figma style figures they could stamp out some battle-armor for $40 or $50 that would look decent and be poseable.
-
It's almost as if it was set up to fail...
-
The solution to make it cheaper would be to skimp on some of the fancier aspects of it. Personally I don't need to be able to open thing up and look inside it. I'll never ever pose it that way. Leave the egg shell completely hollow. That does several things. Cuts down on cost of unnecessary parts inside. Cuts down on cost of tooling fancier parts. Cuts down on cost assembling unnecessary parts. And as we've already heard, cuts down on the weight up top the knees/ankles need to support.
-
Most of us had a chance to buy a kit... which most of don't build, and we passed. Important point to note there.
-
You obviously have no idea what niche means. Yamato, save for the VF-1 which has a following outside of the US, was producing toys from 20+ year old shows that were never legally released outside of Japan and weren't necessarily that popular within Japan at the time. The price has nothing to do with the product being niche. If that were true Hot Toys releases would be "niche" as well but the properties are all red hot around the world. You're speaking nonsense.
-
What are the feet/toes like? Would it be possible to add additional weight to the feet in order to offset the top-heaviness?
-
So they're not terribly pose-able, huh? The joints are loose and everything? That's too bad.
-
Man, that sucker is CLEAN! So nice looking. How pose-able is it? More pics, more! And have it battling some VF-1's too!!!
-
I feel like comparing Arcadia to Bandai is unfair for may reasons. Bandai largely only trades in the most recent, popular versions that are more likely to be sold in higher numbers and they're a MUCH larger company with their own production lines, ability to absorb losses, etc versus niche. Niche will never win that battle.
