3D-Brainx

Thanks for the input guys! but as I said, I have to follow something and there is a lot of anime magic on this model. Anyways, I'm not looking to create the most accurate 3d model of the YF-21, but to create a nice piece of CG art.

Here's what the arms look like. I added a few robot-like parts to fill in the holes. I also modeled the legs, but have no render of them.

And here's what it looks like with everything on.

I'm basically done with the model. On to texturing now...., this might take a while

Dude wat?

The VF-19's were all over 200$, and they didn't include fast packs.

This new mold has additional parts. It's going to be no less than 250$

Permitting a miracle.

I agree. Considering that this is a new mold and assuming Arcadia will use the same material quality that the vf-19s, we have to set a ground of around $230 (same as the new vf-19s) Add fast packs and the additional parts and missiles, I'll say between $250 and $300.

Though, I really hope I'm wrong

I missed the first run of 0s, so I'm in for both the 0S and 0D if they'll make them

I understand you want a VF-11C but I can't see why they would ever bother releasing one again. They languished on shelves as it was for years. They aren't sellers at all, and with the way prices are going they aren't going to get cheaper.

I agree. Now, if they make the armored version, that's an instant buy for me

Hy guys, thanks for the comments.

Thanks! I guess that image will have to do for now.

That brings a question. What you rather have? a perfect transformation toy but not 100% anime accurate? or an anime accurate toy with swapable parts?

A YF-21 with swapable accurate legs comes to mind....

So I've been looking for some references to model the arms and legs and this is the best that I could find

Anyone seen this before? or has a higher resolution image?

Well, it's been almost a year, but I finally had some time to make some progress with this. I'm basically done with it, except for arms and legs, that's next.

wow according to the text not only will it come with fastpacks but TONS of option parts! can't wait for wonderfest!

So, when is that exactly?

Not sure if anyone ask this already (didn't read all the 7 pages) but, any chance that the fast packs are the ones seen in the 2nd M Frontier movie??? and not the M Plus ones?

Anyone got a picture of the 19P with the Sound booster?

There's one o two somewhere on this thread. Don't remember who posted them or when.

This may cost Arcadia some sales, everybody is now thinking "now we have to stick to the ugly 30th anniversary scheme". Everyone was happier with this scheme than with the 30th anniversary one. Stupid move in my opinion.

So, when's the WF?? I know, kinda OT, but I wonder what they will show there if they announce 2 new figures in such a short time.

If the price is right, it shouldn't be a kit.

My finished custom Freedom Gundam

Wouldn't it be risky and expensive for Arcadia to start by making new molds?

Releasing a V2 1/60 VF-1 repaint seems the safe way to start over

I agree with Loute, slow, with patience, but constant.

This is awesome, mad detailing, it's going to be great!

Still some here at a high price but surely less than ebay :

edit: $261.98 shipping from $23.08

246.15 and still up

strange, it shows as not available to me

....and its gone

the article concerning the arcadia version says they will have actual prototype pics in the next issue which will clarify what it is, so we will have to wait until then.

Anyone knows when is that exactly?

I'll get one if I can, I missed the first run, so I want one. 21,000 yen seems steep compared to other Bandai releases, but is what any Yamato 19 toy cost, I would be happy to pay that for a 27 renewal with super pack bundle. I do agree though, they could offer a cheaper one without the super packs

So this is still up and available everywhere...., wth???

Only 4 Yamato items left at HLJ..., even Kakizaki is in low stock now

Around $400 for a vf-25G renewal. It's really expensive to get this kind of toys to this side of the world, shipping and taxes really crank up the retail price.
