Reïvaj Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Um...why is his head backwards? That's a very interesting phenomena that happens every time you transforms the valk before you finish the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Got to say, the tampo is impressive, hope every future Macross release comes with that quality tampo. The little marked tab looks like it could scratch the tampo with each transformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXTL Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I believe the logos are all waterslides and not tampographs. The out of box toy will look like the bare sample in Reïvaj's earlier post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I know I was referring to how sharp the tricolor lines were. Go look at your Yammies, the tampo is not as sharp as they look for the 30th, unless the pics are very forgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Doubt I'll open this guy, which is rare for me. Good thing the box art is nice. I was kind of thinking the same, but sometimes I freak out when bored and open stuff I never planned to open. It's like "Run! you are free from your prison!" lol. The box art is super sexy though so I May just keep it in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alldarker Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Those waterslides for his legs and chest... Are they all seperated on the sheet (so you can place each and every one seperately wherever you wish), or are they all connected (you place them all in one go)?

Scyla Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I liked the decals on the prototype much better with the white background. Now they don't look as vibrant as they used to. Hope this one sells well as it is the first Arcadia release and thus might be important to the rest of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullmilitia Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Deculture! They can make a perfect transforming 3 mode screen accurate toy But can't make a smaller box. Enough with the displayed accessories! Does anyone even care what it looks like in the box? Ship it in foam like Bandai! Smaller boxes PLEASE!

Valkyrie addict Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Not only big, but fat box too! Good think I canceled my preorder on Nippon-Yassan, their shipping would have given me a heart attack. I preorder two with HLJ, but will probably put them in storage until I buy a few more things so they can just shove it all in a humongous box and be done with it.

plastik Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Geez that box looks about the same size as the ones used for the 1/48. Wonder why it says "Anniversario" and not "Anniversary"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Maybe he's a tiny guy... I'm amazed collectibles don't come in collapsing boxes. You think the Japanese would be all over this with their limited amount of space. But yeah, maybe we should mention it on Arcadia's twitter.

SuperSenpai Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) The box might not be that big. Asians are kinda short after all. EDIT: Just so someone doesn't get all upset, let me clarify that I say this as a 5'7" person of Asian descent with 5'3" parents of Asian descent.

SuperSenpai Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 HEY! This asian is 6' 3" 215lbs Maybe Arcadia should hire you to pose for promotional pictures with their boxes so that they look tiny and MW forum members stop complaining about how much they're gonna have to pay in shipping charges.

Mommar Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Shipping was $28 via EMS from Nippon-Yasan. Done with the speculating on box size and fretting about shipping now? Good. Move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
