derex3592 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 As I remember it, we were all shown those promo shots and got all excited and plunked down our $$$ for the original 0D and then we got the box and the uproar was horrendous aorund here about the color. I thought it was Kawamori himself who told Arcadia that the darker blue was correct "as it would have been on a brand new aircraft". So if they do the lighter weathered scheme right this time, it would be cool to have both....but damn..not at $400.00. And you really have to wonder what color you are REALLY gonna get upon opening this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Well, they got me for both. Kinda wish they'd done that lining+matte coat for the PF VF-0S though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you really have to wonder what color you are REALLY gonna get upon opening this one! Exactly. I do not trust Arcadia at all, when it comes to "actual final release color" of a VF-0D. I will wait, until someone has it in-hand, to see what shade of blue it is. (though even if the blue is right, I suspect the belly will still be pure white, and not "DYRL grey" like it should be---that was also changed from the first-release sample, not just the blue upper surfaces, but the lower surface's main color too) (yes, I am still bitter about their 0D's coloring---I love that valk, AND it's scheme---and the sample pics were so perfect, with slate-blue and ghost-grey, then they gave us royal blue and snow-white...)

David Hingtgen Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Factories often don't seem to understand how to do "subtle" changes of color. You get stuff like "sample to final" 0D color.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Guess it's ok that a PF release apparently now means it will be closer to the correct colors...but I would have preferred this Arcadia pair....hope we get them someday And where's that long promised cannon fodder VF-0A?

Firefox Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 VF-0C and VF-0D are basically just part swapping. What take it so hard for Arcadia to release them? Are they trying to force people to buy both (0A and 0D)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I was just goofing with my 0D. I’ll gladly get another one in a different Livery. I do hope Arcadia tightens up the thigh swivel though.

David Hingtgen Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Bumping, as the just-announced premium finish 0D probably deserves to be in this thread, more than the 0A/0S thread. Though---perhaps we should merge all the Arcadia VF-0 threads? It actually looks better now (more slate-grey-blue than powder blue) than it did at Wonderfest in February. Actually repainted/new sample, or just way different lighting? ::edit:: Official pic from Arcadia's twitter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do anyone think if HLJ or ami will accept returns/cancellations if the final appearance did not match as displayed? I'm sure the "final product may differ from prototype" small print is somewhere. These days they're pretty good about getting an artist proof in hand before doing the press shots. The press shots should be a good indication... these prototype shots are probably still "this is what we're going for!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Just wait till after release day and see how it turns out. It Macross Zero and it'll be expensive, so I expect it to be readily available after release day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be blown away if indeed the promo's show it that way....and the more i think abt it, its delusional for me, to expect it coming out looking as detailed as the display unit. Very likely a used prototype which arcadia played around with, panel lining and all... 2 hours ago, Lolicon said: Just wait till after release day and see how it turns out.

Order it at HLJ so you have 10 days to decide whether you're going to have it ship or not. Just an option and easy return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope someone reviews the 0D in jp right after release as its not bandai which has reviews right after release... anyway no preorder madness so there should be time to see what the final release looks like...
