usagiz Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I kinda like this scheme, it's screaming 'I am a jetfire knockoff and I don't care complete with 70's stickers!' I want to see the battroid head have the same garish style... I'd buy one from Arcadia... (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I find it laughable, that Toynami is even being talked about in this thread. Toynami has been an inferior toy company all around when it comes to precision toys. They don't appear to use cad, and while some may praise their Beta/Tread, it wasn't really that great. Poor material choices, extra, unnecessary weight, and half-assed built (floppy legs, anyone?). It's a good thing that idea is, at best, a shoddy pipe dream.

eugimon Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I like the design. I'm gonna mount it in a shadow box and have it up on the wall as an art piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Magnus Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I love the VF-1's from Yamato and I want to support Arcadia in their 1st Valkyrie offering..... But that Valkyrie is hideous! I might buy it to show my support but I don't know if I can display it. Better yet stick it in GBP Armor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 At least the gold on the 25th Anniversary versions can be potentially taken off. Cleaning up a Nascar Valk is gonna be a nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSenpai Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) I find it laughable, that Toynami is even being talked about in this thread. Toynami has been an inferior toy company all around when it comes to precision toys. They don't appear to use cad, and while some may praise their Beta/Tread, it wasn't really that great. Poor material choices, extra, unnecessary weight, and half-assed built (floppy legs, anyone?). It's a good thing that idea is, at best, a shoddy pipe dream. I agree that Toynami has released some poor products, but I think people misplace the hate at times. Yes, several of their releases sucked big time. But Toynami, to my knowledge, doesn't appear to do any design or manufacturing in-house. They basically license existing designs, repackage them, and sell them to the U.S. market. So if anything, they just pick poor designs to license, or they pick the wrong manufacturer to build. None of these flaws are inherent to the company's structure that would prevent them from releasing better toys at some point. And as we've seen, it's entirely possible for them to release something very good (like the MPC Cyclone). My point was that so long as they license a good design (and the Yamato VF-1 molds are a great design), and pick a good manufacturer, they can put out something good. Of course, this is all pie-in-the-sky talk anyway, since it's doubtful it would ever happen. But what else are Internet message boards for if not to engage in rampant speculation?

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) everytime i read this thread i just start habitually clicking on mandarake and ebay links. Shizuoka Hobby Show is later this month it's very possible Arcadia will have actual prototypes and more announcements. I've spoken to two people recently, one working with Arcadia and one who works for them and even though they are very tight lipped they say not to worry. Still in Japanese that could mean anything. so we may have to wait a bit longer for news or Arcadia's plans. I was looking forward to hear something in May.

jvmacross Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well, the VF-4 took about a year to develop and release.....whatever Yamato was working on was put on hold due to "going out of business"...so now Arcadia (if it decides to continue the 1/60 PT valk line) has to green-light whatever project was on the drawing board or decide on a new one....we are already 5 months into 2013......so it makes sense that a "repaint" was decided as the "next" release....so, either we will receive some more repaints or, if the "big next project" was considerably on schedule for late 2013 release...then we may get some news on that....either way....DYRL 30th Anniversay is next year....and if they do continue with the line, at minimum we can reasonably expect more DYRL stuff by then.....maybe....

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) i got a chance right now to get a vf-1s max weathering special, virgin road, and vf-1d w/ option parts today but wasn't sure to pass or not as i may never see them again. on the other hand i think you're right it's better to wait for arcadia Edited May 13, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Which VF-1S weathering are you referring to as I'd love to get a weathered ed. Roy. sorry just edited my post, it's max. Lolicon, did an amazing weathering his own v.2 vf-1s roy. so, most would suggest to just weather your own valks or commish someone to do it. the reason the weathering max is different because his intake covers, feet and head laser are of a different color than the regular vf-1s max. it's a grey/silverish tone similar to the vf-1s low viz feet and intakes. differing from the other weathering valks. so it's really sought after, but potential of arcadia doing an update is freezing me.

Mechapilot77 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 That's the gist of it... except it's a tad bit more complicated. It's Maiden Japan's sculpt but retooled by Aoshima. wait...the same maiden japan that is / was on these boards? i also wondered if its the same maiden japan that did custom TF junkion parts (that now has similar kits being mass produced)? personally i think the beta (tlead) is exceptional. the alpha....poor material choices and a bit sloppily tooled.
