Saburo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I think we'd only get good color pics if someone like Saburo took em. Arcadia and Bandai should just send test shots to him, then there'd be no debate on what we're getting Thank you for the kind words. I would love to get the test shot figures, or if I was able to attend the shows in Japan. Except that Saburo's pics make every single toy he photographs look far, far, better than the actual piece in real life. Images that good could be considered false advertising... I bring out the hidden beauty... or is it more like beer goggles for toys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechapilot77 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 getting excited for these!! the colors seem to look different depending on lighting conditions. i think if anyone is expecting a very light grey bottom they will be dissapointed. the blue really seems to photo differently based on light temperature. my lighting is either natural or warm though...no CFL bulbs for me so i think it'll look pretty good. i do wish they did a grey ont eh bottom too...although i woudn't want the DYRL grey (which IMO was never grey but more like off white..very light beige almost). regardless of fnal colors i want this bad! makes me want to watch zero again. i think back whenit came out i watched it online somewhere...no idea where to watch it now.

EXO Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I like the very first colors even though people complained that they weren't accurate. I doubt I'll be playing the anime next to my displays any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hmmmn. Check this out: Compared to the VF-1, the 0D's accent color looks quite grey. Maybe it only looks pure white when the camera has no pure white reference? (and/or the guy at Arcadia is just hitting "auto-white-balance" prior to uploading) Blue looks darn dark and intense regardless though. Anways---shouldn't we have a full reveal of exactly what we're getting in the box by now? Like just how many of each type of missile, etc?

spanner Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) seeing that its sooo close to release and I know I'll love it to bits regardless.. but the whites are too white and the blue is quite rich.. still not gonna complain! although the paint scratches presumably from transformation don't inspire too much confidence..

Valkyrie addict Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 That's a sexy valk right there. Glad I can get at least one for its ludicrous high price. The transformation is pretty much the same as the old 0A, even the way the hip bar attaches to the nose so I don't see why such a high price spike, the improvement where sculp, better articulation and the shitty feet ball joint but this was not done from scratch. I hope the finaly production has no overspray on the wave pattern, more tampo or at least waterslide decals. Why did the highlight the areas prone to chip the paint?

David Hingtgen Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The overspray on the wavy edges is so consistent (and the stripes so crisp) I think it's intentional----it's called a feathered edge and is how camouflage is usually applied on real planes (and models of real planes). You don't want a hard crisp edge most of the time. Many techniques have been developed to get the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I see. So that's the final blue color. And lots of pointy edge as well. I might wear some gloves for handling this one then. Scratch my fingers before handling the YF-19's tailfins. Hehehe. So basically, what they're trying to say is there's going to be a lot of paint scratches going to happen if you transform this more than once or twice. I like to transform my Valks more than once or twice. But in fairness... this one looks sexy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, but I've seen it use in real life with colors that blend in, the blue on white negates the purpose for the camo' blend effect, still looks cool thought, hehehe thanks for clearing that up.

treatment Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Transformation photos from Arcadia's VF-0D production diary Wow! Really dark blue. Nice, but really just wrong for Shin's 0D blue. Maybe Arcadia will officially name it as the "1/60 VF-0D Not-Really-Shin-Kudo-but-some-other-unknonw-cannon-fodder". Also, that Roy VF-1 looks pinkish. Especially at the nosecone and wings.

Looks like just some shadowing that makes it seem grey-ish, but it's really just regular white plastic. Is it really that difficult for Arcadia to use jet-black backgrounds for more proper contrast when photographing the valk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 So they recommend you remove the fins and pitot tube before transformation? And even they have paint rub off? Oh boy. I will say, though, I applaud them for pointing out all the problem areas and spots of paint removal, I truly do. Bravo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
