Deadeye_281 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 This song auto played in my mind when I saw that caped battroid picture from masterfile : "saber rider...and the star sheriff *whip-sound* of the star" I had forgotten all about this show until now. Ahh memory lane... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I noticed that update this morning. I was curious how the wings would fit with the legs, stabilizers, etc... Looked a bit off for the first testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightdramon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 For the ones who still have a[ny] VF0 in their collections... Does it look like a brand new mould, or is the chest/back area and the legs the same from the old VF0 toys? Eagerly anticipating this!

Mommar Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Looks all brand new to me. Definitely new backpack, legs and feet - ankles look to be a revised design. Minus the ankles, wouldn't all of those things have to be new anyway? I don't really see why they wouldn't revise everything anyway, otherwise you would have parts that seemed really antiquated engineering-wise along side parts that seem modern. It would be like the VF-27 re-release only much older and worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Embed that crap yo I'd been up for 18 hours straight, worked 9 of them and looked after a baby for half the rest. It was 12:30pm. i was lucky i remembered how to hyperlink i dont thnik u can tell if it's all new or not from this, however I'd be very surprised if it wasn't. I suspect we'l start seeing new Macross Zero product with all new molds soon. Edited March 3, 2014 by Scream Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Random Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Looking at the backpack piece shown in the picture it looks like the same design can be used on the A, S and D. Looks like the D tail fins are attached to the usual place on the backpack via a linkage. Or maybe the linkage goes somewhere under the backpack. You can see where the A/S style tails would attach to the backpack piece shown in the picture. I haven't had a Zero in a number of years so I can't do a direct comparison, but looking at the picture it seems like the D model has the moveable air brake and removable forward section of the conformal tank (this allowed swapping with a piece that had a mount point for the missile pod). After looking at the Zero pictures on AnyMoon I can't say that I can see any differences in the backpack, back panel, head-hole panel or chest. That's not to say that this mold isn't an improvement since the pieces I had the most problem with on the Zero were the shoulders and ankles and I can't make any judgements about those from this picture.

EXO Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 new smaller hinge on the backpack means new molds for the backpacks and added canard wings means new molds for the front chestplate.

Loop Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Nice, looks like Mr. K is working away at my baby. I can, but can't wait for this thing. I really want to say I want 2x but I need to get away from getting so many multiples lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 new smaller hinge on the backpack means new molds for the backpacks and added canard wings means new molds for the front chestplate. Everything will be new with this bird for fittings also. Not necessarily a new upper chest, since I think the canards attach to the intakes, but they might remold the underside lip of the chest to let the canards sit flush.

UN Spacy Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Meh...I don't like the color of that gray. The line art was never that shade of gray. Canceling my preorder again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 So shades of grey aside (ha ha ha) any comments or concerns about how the hinges on the wings will hold up over time, or do we view that as a non-issue? -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 So shades of grey aside (ha ha ha) any comments or concerns about how the hinges on the wings will hold up over time, or do we view that as a non-issue? -b. The hinges on all of the flaps on the VF-4 have been holding up quite well if that's any indication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The hinges on all of the flaps on the VF-4 have been holding up quite well if that's any indication. Good news then. My VF-4 is boxed, I've never removed it. Sold an extra awhile ago, but I never dared to transform it. I really hope the VF-0D does well in sales and is a quality release, I really want a v2 VF-0S that's re-worked from the feet up. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not reusing any parts from the old toy... complete redesign. Remember one new mold every year. This is the one for 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Oh, I don't doubt they'll make all new molds, because the quality of the processes has changed so much. I'm only wondering if they're building the CAD from scratch, or using the old models as a starting point, and just updating them. No reason to redo what already worked before.
