skullmilitia Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That bike is nice haha. Yeah but now it's Arcadai, so it will be a 1/400 model limited to 5 and sold at WF for 300$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I don't know why, the fire valk is my most disliked valk, but it's somewhat starting to grow on me especially with that big ass booster...very slowly. It has a charm that I can't put my finger on :/ I should stop looking at pictures I had the very same feeling towards the Fire Valkyrie until it was announced that Arcadia was re-issuing it. Ummed and arred about it for a while only as I have the other VF-19 Valks already and thought I should complete the set then all this flurry of discussion came up so I felt compelled to buy one! Was never a big fan of its clashing bright red & yellow color scheme but now has started to grow on me.. glad I finally made the decision to buy one though! Actually looking forward to its arrival!

Isamu Dyson Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 It would be nice to get an optional Basara in his FB outfit as a pilot. Removable intake covers and or extra figures/parts might sway me to buy the bundle set. However if it is just a simple re-release, I think I might just pass up on it.

Renato Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The stage suit Basara figure came with the Sound Booster, so if this is a bundle I would expect they would include both the stage costume and the green shirt figures, at the very least. I wouldn't worry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well im happy!!! my Basara VF-19 finally arrived so im definitely gonna pass the Arcadia re-issue.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hm something is wrong with the face. shouldn't there be a mouth or something on the head turret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hm something is wrong with the face. shouldn't there be a mouth or something on the head turret? yes there is but you can option the less "clowny" looking face with a small replacement insert. Which is what I prefer so I fitted it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhary Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 what intrigues me more is whether it will be a only a re-issue or you'll get improvements in an almost perfect valk the only complain that I have is precisely the faceplate that had to have been done in crystal clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The improvement the Kai needs is a built in speaker system that plays mp3s of Firebomber songs. I'd pay over $400 for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 ^^ I would agree for a lower price and if they added a headphone jack like the project BM! Kaneda's bike from Akira. I never really use the sounds on it, but I like how they added the headphone jack so you can make it play louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogze Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) The Fire valkyrie is probably one of the most "perfect" designs of all the 19 since it's the only design I know of that actually uses the little doors on the sides of the head for the transformation. All other models do have them but don't really need them. I bet the reissue may only include the FireBomber standing figures that were shown a while back and displayed alongside the giant sound booster thing. I'm actually tempted to get another to display in fighter mode since this valk has become one of my favorites.

valhary Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 also I dont remember another valk having the head laser cannons articulated for open and close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogze Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Indeed, and it also has the opening shoulders gimmick over the other vf-19, and optional faceplates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaajin Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Pass! That bike isn't canon!!!! ....however, they'll probably fix that on a future issue of Macross the First!!! I just realized that Yamato did make scaled bike! And its the same dropbar type as Hikaru's! Guess they really do love Macross to that extent EDITED : sorry for the necromancing act! just saw the ad today Edited April 30, 2014 by aaajin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Oh, I thought there were some news about the VF-19 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 it looks like Mr. K is tweeting a few days ago that it's the 20th anniversary of Macross 7, promoting the mylene bass. makes sense the reason for arcadia to reissue the fire 19 valk first over other things. maybe we'll see more M7 stuff being released.

Chronocidal Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Would make even more sense if they announced a VF-11 MAXL with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Would make even more sense if they announced a VF-11 MAXL with it. I'm more likely to buy a Maxl than the 19Kai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Unless they use pliable rubber for... certain parts, a MAXL will be a parts-former like nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Unless they use pliable rubber for... certain parts, a MAXL will be a parts-former like nothing else. Not sure what you're talking about. The chest speakers are obviously domed units that flank the Cockpit in Fighter/Gerwalk. They're clearly visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I don't think it would even be hard to hide them for fighter mode. The entire cockpit section is one solid piece, so just embed the speakers in the fuselage, and have them flip over and rotate out of the canard roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 They don't need to be embedded. Look at the line art, the bumps are clearly visible in Fighter/Gerwalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Yes, but the difference in canard position and shape, difference in intake shape between Battroid and fighter, and Battroid's slender legs might not translate at all well into fighter. It just seems to me that, lacking replaceable parts, a compromise Valkyrie might be problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Battroid doesn't have slender legs. They're pretty thick in all of the lineart, actually. Considering Yamato included swappable shields for anime accuracy in different modes would it be that bad if they included Canards of different lengths to swap for Anime Accuracy as well? There might even be a way to make the canards recess for one mode and pop back out for the other as well. I don't really see a big shift in Canard position but it does appear the nose/cockpit area deforms a bit in Battroid, however that might be to Arcadia's benefit as you could make the forward portion of the nose cone angle back a bit and that would give tons of space for the cockpit shield to be deployed. Intake shape has been compromised on every Valk ever made, there's little point in worrying about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Meh? The fact that the band members are not in scale with the cockpit figure is an instant pass for me. I think I prefer the regular version and Veffidas without a drum-set is kinda lame but the Micro-FB are cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Eh, can't exactly say it's tempting, but the gold trim does look a little better than plain yellow plastic. Maybe if someone wants to trade for an old Yamato one, or they hit the discount shelf, but I've got all the VF-19s I can handle for now.
