Benbot Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Flightpose stands are fine but you can't really do dynamic flight poses in fighter mode, yet alone battroid with them. I'll definitely pick up a couple of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbadon Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It's a nice stand, but it takes up so much space. I can't fit two of them in a detolf shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

close313 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'll take 2 please. I assume that it"s the same colour as the ones with the reissued VF-1's. To the owners, does it really have a slight purple tinge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely pick up a couple of these. Sure you can... but you have to buy three of the three different sizes and then mix and match the rods. It's pretty epic once you do.

Kanedas Bike Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 If you can find a stand that looks better for the same price and can hold your valks, let me know... Well, you can't - not without having extraordinary luck. Although inevitable, I don't think it's that fair to draw comparisons to this Arcadia stand to third party stands like the Flexi and Yeti Stands. In the same way we tend to defend Arcadia as a smaller company it'd be the same with "fan made" products. Re: the Arcadia stands, yeah they hold our Valks for relatively cheap but they aren't terribly attractive and they're too big to have a bunch on display at once - unless you have an abundance of space. I dunno, I just wish they had a smaller footprint and were more, aesthetically pleasing, just my opinion. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Would love to get this too since it's cheap. But the only problem I really see is its being bulky. If they could somehow come up with something that has an adapter or an extra arm to hold another valk because I'm sure the base for being the same size as the valk for its width and length for sure it can hold 2 to 3 valks. I'm gussing you can just fit 2 or 3 stands in a detolf shelf. But if I have a bigger space I wouldn't mind paying this stand for each valk that I have just to have that 'consistency' look feel on my valk toys.

Original "Flight Pose" Great for posing, strength and the possibility of removing your valk with ease. Price was great too. No longer available. Arcadia Stand... great for it's decent price. Strong, made just for Acadia/Yamato valks and storage. Large Footprint. Yamato... looks like launch arm, strong, looks OK. Expensive and now even more expensive AND no longer available. Yeti Stands... looks elegant and pretty strong... moderately high price point but extremely limited and custom "manufacturing". With all these choices, there really isn't any room to complain. I actually thought the Arcadia ones are going to cost more. I think they're selling it separately at this price in lieu of including it with the already high price valks they're coming out with.

Dimis Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Let's just hope that they put these in Revoltech-sized boxes and not yet more of the VF-1 boxes they may have as a surplus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 My Sv-51 *came* with a stand (basically what Arcadia's selling now), and I still bought a Yeti stand pretty much just for it. And it was worth every penny. "Elegant stand that can actually show a plane FLYING" vs "big huge block of plastic that can hold a valk off the ground" Display stands are for displaying----Arcadia's is merely "to keep if off the ground", and is "industrial/functional" more than "display".

wmkjr Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I like these stands because of the storage compartment and price. I like the Yeti because of the versatility in the poses. Each got there place in my house. I got a mix 4 of these types (if you count the Yamato versions) and 3 Yeti's but I have them all out in the open (no display case yet) so I can't comment on footprint in displays. If you like just the basic poses, and wanna get some of your valks off the ground and in the air, keep all the extras together, and got room, this is a good one to get. Can't beat the price. Someone mentioned Mighty Block stands. How was the Mighty block stands? Looks like you could connect a couple together to make a bigger base. But it also looks like the base might be a little small for bigger valks though. . Edited October 24, 2014 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceoftherebellion Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 These gonna be usable with some of the older yamato molds? I'd love to have a strand for my old YF-19... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xigfrid Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (...) Original "Flight Pose" Great for posing, strength and the possibility of removing your valk with ease. Price was great too. No longer available. I don't know what exactly you mean by "original", but you can still order the "New" ones. But only on a pre-order basis now. Still the "new" FlightPose stands may probably alter the painting on Bandai DX valks where the caoutchou touches it, but nothing a sealer/finish spray can't fix. And I haven't got any trouble with Yamato / Arcadia valk yet. I really like Yetistands poseability, I will probably order a few for my Bandai DX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Yetistands poseability, I will probably order a few for my Bandai DX I believe the ones he was talking about had a more heavier base and black tips. The newer ones had instances of the base cracking due to tightening of the screws. edit: Sorry about that. They touched on it on page 2, first post.

CoreyD Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think if these stands had gone up 6 months ago, then I would've bought 4 or more. However, the Yetistand has really upped the game, so a this point I'll probably only get one Arcadia stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 the arcadia base is very similar to the one used for Bandai Gundam, and just like Bandai base for Macross stuff, they have very limited use and takes too much space. But yeah, this is the only one that is generally available to all so most people are okay with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think the wide base is a good thing, especially for larger, heavier or irregular pieces. The YetiStand has a decent footprint to it too, but I think that its shape is more appealing. Both stands have their place, for sure. Arcadia's big plus is storage. I like to use these stands as a stackable alternative for small parts, which helps to cut down on the number of retail boxes filling up the limited closet space at home (and keeps me out of trouble). At this price, I will be happy to pick up some more. The YetiStand is my most flexible display stand. When I think of all the adapters that fit to it (custom and OEM) and the different poses that I can try out using the stand arms, I have no regrets paying the premium price. Plus, it's the work of a fellow forum member that continues to support it and develop it. Not bad at all. I do have a trio of the new flightpose stands, as well. I can see how these are appealing, but I wish I had found out about them when the old version was still available. I'm not impressed with the new model. The lack of a mechanical connection with the toy (which both Arcadia and YetiStand provides using adpaters) concerns me. I only put small, light items on these.
