jvmacross Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Maybe Arcadia will simply follow Bandai's 1995 lead for it's next releases after the VF-19 Goldfingered edition? Instant buys right?...right?!?! ...........soon followed by red chrome Milia and blue chrome Max Super VF-1J's!!! Finally!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdr Fokker Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I'm sticking with what I said before - I'll be getting one - but just one - and haven't pre-ordered... yet. Still hoping for a special release of Speaker Pod Gamma... or an announcement of a MAXL... or a VF-17T... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdr Fokker Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 There fixed it for you. In that case, you should have replaced the other "or" as well. And added that the MAXL and 17T need Sound Boosters, too. And we need a minifig of Veffidas with her drum kit. Oh yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULessa Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Got my VF-29S and damn this is sweet. Too bad the thing has some loose joints but for the most part it fulfills its job. I'm really really liking the VF-19 battroid mode now. Want another one when I get back to the states Macross is gonna destroy me so badly.

Renato Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Can anyone please tweet Mr. K and tell him that if they're going with gold instead of yellow, then it makes sense to make the mouth silver, instead of white? I think that's reasonable, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) It's time to start to understand what's in Mr-K and Arcadia's minds for this release: http://arcadia.ac/vf19/diary/01/index.php Edited June 12, 2014 by Reïvaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YF-29 Durandal Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I would pay $200 for it with all the accessories included but not anything more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Regarding the ankes -- in the blog post that Reivaj linked to, Mr K explains that he is trying to get the factory to improve the tolerances. It is just not feasible to do a whole ankle re-design. He also mentions that the canopy will also have a yellow tint of sorts. I find this weird because never once has the Fire Valk been depicted that way that I can recall. Another issue is just how accurately the Chinese factory will be able to recreate the Fire Bomber characters' faces in mass production remains to be seen. If the results are not satisfactory, they may have to forgo the painting of the facial features. For reference, my helmet-less Isamu pilot from the Arcadia YF-19 has a big splodge on the side of his face where the paint for the hair overran. We shall see.

Scyla Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have to apologize in advance for the next sentence so..... I agree that it would be not feasible to redesign the ankles for the VF-19 mold but I'm still baffled why the YF-19 from Arcadia has the same problems that are present and well known on the VF-19 from Yamato.

Renato Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I was actually under the impression that they were always gold. Don't they look gold in the CG model in the opening? A lot of the artwork shows them as gold-like, too (the Bandai 1/144 and 1/100 kits' box art come to mind). Much like how some things in cartoons painted white are actually supposed to be silver in "reality". Edited June 12, 2014 by Renato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Wasn't there an argument about the red color of the VF-19 Kai Yamato had with Kawamori. I think it went like this that the guys at Yamato that the hue prototype color was exactly the red from the animation and Kawamori answered that this is not the color it has in his mind. If this true I think that the highlights are exactly painted in the colors Kawamori envisioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 This release is to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Macross 7...so it's just a "special paint job" to celebrate that. The original release is the canon version. Maybe someone can just simply ask Mr, K as to the decision for switching the yellow to gold?

derex3592 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 In those cells, I gotta admit the intakes and the bottom ankle wraps look more gold than yellow. The tops of the shoulders look normal yellow. Still not buying.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 My point is that sometimes in anime they use simplified colours to represent what the "real" colours should be. Is Minmay supposed to have blue hair, or black? To add even more controversy, Kawamori in fact told them to do the whole valk metallic red, but Mr. K declined, because then it would be too similar to "another company's product", clearly referring to the VF Hi-Metal line by Bandai (or maybe their 15th anniversary chrome 1/100 kit?).

EXO Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I wonder why they would be worried about it looking similar. It's the same valk. Having it all metallic would have encouraged, if not at least seriously consider buying a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Could be a licensing thing. Maybe only Bandai has the go-ahead from BW to do metallic Fire Valks. Mr. K does also mention that tolerances would change if they switched to all metallic, and that it would affect fragility.

Gakken85 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ah. It's a very Super Robot feature to have... I always thought of Macross as more a real robot kind of genre. Anyway, don't want to derail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterlingMax Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Just saw this for preorder and I have been more strict on my valk purchases. I would definitely like to add this to my collection but even with the sound booster it's too much maybe for $50-75 less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And started going on about their abilities... To pretend to be fictional. One even claiming he can sound like Fukuyama lol. Oh Cosplayers, how I wish you would go away.
