jenius Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) With the premium for "weathering" version that's gonna be one pricey YF-19! EDIT - Surprised they're doing this, the V1 1/60 YF-19 had a weathering version that sold like a real dog.

seti88 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 i thk lolicon would just get the regular and weather it I tot we were already paying premium prices, i shudder to thk what this would cost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 i thk lolicon would just get the regular and weather it I tot we were already paying premium prices, i shudder to thk what this would cost... And perhaps the offset is that it doesn't come with the additional armament tray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 i thk lolicon would just get the regular and weather it I tot we were already paying premium prices, i shudder to thk what this would cost... That's exactly what I'm going to do. Though if they exclude the extra armaments and sell a weathered version for about the same price as the regular edition, that would be great for those without the time or inclination to do it themselves. Not likely to happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The pre-done weathering here looks better than on the old Yamato's. Though there's no indication the factory produced 19's will look nearly as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sildani Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 A premium finish should have air intake danger markings tampoed on. At the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 But the YF-19 doesn't have air intake warning markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 In my opinion Arcadia should include at least the markings from the anime/source material. If it had ejection seat markings in the source material print it on the toy. After that include as many markings as the budget can get you. On the other hand I think the VF-19ADVANCE overdid it with all the markings so maybe don't add too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe1010 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 July release. Price TBA. when is the pre order ? Hopefully not at a premium price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Well that looks pretty good eh! Closer to if not over 40k price tag perhaps? Still very tempting! And around July too which will cause a conflict of interest between it and the Monster.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor One Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 That looks pretty cool, weird that even a "premium finish" version doesn't have more tampo. Didn't mind the lack on the original version, but here it seems like it defeats the purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max928 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 so the restock of this item in April 2016, is NOT this new weathered version correct? Also, no info on ankle revisions for either of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't mind the lack on the original version, but here it seems like it defeats the purpose yeah you'd think they would add a few extra tampo prints seeing they are gonna charge extra for the weathering anyways! though looking at it a few more times, yes its nice but maybe not quite nice enough to justify buying another. Comparing it to my Arcadia-19 I rather like the clean look of it. And none others of my Valkyries are weathered so I might just stick to the clean look.

Personally I don't get the appeal of the weathered look. I can understand that it looks more realistic but my cabinets don't look like a warzone. They look like a showroom and thus I need clean Valkyries in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) The old yammie weathered VF-1's came with waterslide decals, at least they should include that given the lack of tampo on this bird.

Certainly has that clean showroom look and feel to it. Hence why I'll most likely skip this one.. Though I do like the weathered look and Lolicon's VF-0S is a prime example! I guess I still wouldn't mind having something weathered but it would be a tough choice as to what..

A renewal YF-21 would be great and make a lot of sense as it would go well with their YF-19 release but i have a gut feeling that Arcadia won't be surprising us with anything interesting for a while yet.. especially if they are only dishing out the re-issues and an additional paint version of an existing toy.. Though I'd still love to see SV-51 renewals hit the market! Then I'll have some cheap originals up for sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Whatever floats your boats, guys. It's all good. In my mind's eye, these aircraft see actual service. That's why there's a pilot in the cockpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyD Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah except in most cases technology demonstrators like the YF-19 would never get that dirty to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I was thinking about just that. Prototypes are kept pretty clean. Although you COULD say this is the 19 after Isamu's assault on Sharon Apple - in which case, it'd have to be said it's not weathered enough. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I dunno, there was one scene where the 19 was shown pretty well trashed. It was going in for repairs, but I don't know if it was due to the prototype being that difficult to control, Isamu being a reckless maniac, or both.

kajnrig Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 For what it's worth, I don't consider that exactly "weathering." It just looks like some pre/post-shading work, which isn't meant to mimic weathering effects so much as... well, add shading. It breaks up otherwise largely monotonous color apps. Like, if I wanted weathering on my (hypothetical, sadly) 19, I'd add streaks to the wings (running back from along the forward edges and panel lines) emulating the desert sand/dirt flowing across them, and/or drybrush along the sharpened angles to simulate sand blasting at the paint, etc. And that's before you whip out the dremel and start gouging at the plastic of your $300 toy...
