505thAirborne Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Goes to show that Arcadia making a VF-0B variant would be very easy. Just produce more VF-0D forward sections (Milk that mold Arcadia!!), add it to a VF-0A/S body and new paint job.... See, that was easy!

Not really. 2 screws (or one if you're lazy like me) and it comes out in half. Pop and swap the heads then done. It's going into battroid for the B that is the tricky part.

Old Man Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I almost picked up an extra 0D and 0A specifically for this. The 0B is my absolute FAVORITE!

barurutor Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Someone should share wmkjr's cockpit swap pics with Mr. K on twitter

wmkjr Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Also, going with Master files the VF-0B has the D head and the VF-0C has the A head.
Chronocidal Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Ah, that's good then, makes it an easy switch, so you don't have to mess with the folding plates that fit around the head.

no3Ljm Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Just in case anyone wants a VF-0A. HobbySearch has it for Y33060. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10325431
spacemanoeuvres Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Nice bird. Was the list price really 37584? Damn!
no3Ljm Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 52 minutes ago, spacemanoeuvres said: Nice bird. Was the list price really 37584? Damn! Yeah. Based on Arcadia's site Y37584 is the MSRP plus tax. MSRP is just Y34800. Initial PO price for this were: HLJ: 31,320 JPY NY: 28,920 JPY Ami: 29,700 JPY So nowadays, that Y33060 is already a good price. The only risk is that since this release didn't have reissue, there's still a chance that it will come with broken hip joints. But still, it's fixable.
Universe1010 Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) one of my vf-0s gerwalk joint is extremely (frightening) stiff and wont move. any recommendations to open it up so I can transform him properly? I managed to get him in batroid but I dont see hope for gerwalk. Also the hip extension gimmick is incredibly tight on mine restricting movement at his hips. @jenius Edited June 14, 2017 by monishb

Since that's probably true, II just can't remember that they were that expensive at release... no wonder why Arcadia can't sell many of these. No matter what are the reasons they have for these prices, they can't seam to be reasonable. Edited June 14, 2017 by Xigfrid
Universe1010 Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 After a frustrating 2-3 hrs I figured out the culprit the gerwalk joint was glued shut literally on my vf-0s. It took some slow tender loving to pry it open without damaging it. Glad that is over

But you can check the For Sale thread. Warrhead is selling one. Or you can post one in the Wanted Section just in case there's some members who's willing to let go one of their extras.
Foblander Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Has anyone experienced the wrist on the Arcadia VF-0S forming cracks over time? Is this a problem this toy is known for? I have not messed with the hands (only displayed toy) since I bought it years ago and just saw cracks forming on both wrists. Edited January 22, 2019 by Foblander
nightmareB4macross Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Not this again. I am so close to the point of swearing off Arcadia if this has happened to mine. Now imagine what the new SV-51 is going to end up like. Bummer. Edited January 22, 2019 by nightmareB4macross Bummer.
Kicker773 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Might try the parts swap if I have time. Not sure if this has been posted before..

Kicker773 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Maybe just one Ivanov. I don’t think they'll be making any other variants anytime soon considering it’s taking them this long to release one.

Slave IV Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Lots of armor talk lately and I finally had a chance to armor up a VF-0S Getting ready to finally open up my PF version and anticipating the PF 0D and hopefully 0A.
Gabe Q Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger on this purchase here. I'm worried about the whole leg falling off thing I keep hearing about. Also, is a perfect finish version gonna be released?
HayateAltoHunter Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I actually pulled the trigger and ordered it from HLJ. Got it yesterday and transformed right away. immediately, the right leg was on the ground. Completely detached.
Cowboy17 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I actually pulled the trigger and ordered it from HLJ. Got it yesterday and transformed right away. immediately, the right leg was on the ground. Completely detached. Been thinking of ordering one myself, but it sounds like these should be left in fighter mode forever
jenius Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 The only reason I'm hoping for a PF is so I can have one with the fixed hip... well, other than the hip I fixed and re-fixed several times. I think it's pretty good now but I will forever having some surgery scars on the back of the leg.

I have not messed with the hands (only displayed toy) since I bought it years ago and just saw cracks forming on both wrists. I just checked my copy and I have a crack on the same wrist AND I see cracks on the finger joints near the knuckles. Yo, like WTF Arcadia? Is the VF-0 just plain cursed with problems? Well crap, my 0D has the same problems. Edited March 19, 2019 by SuperHobo Further inspection
Gabe Q Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I think I'll hold off and wait for an updated perfect finish version. Not gonna risk the broken leg.
