Sooooo uhhhhh. Dont know if anyone done it before but. Im curious if anyone ever 3D print the Ghost Booster in 1/60 for the Arcadia VF 0?
 

Could be just a resized Ghost from the Bandai HMR combine with the armaments to be used on the Arcadia VF 0

I think a lot of people are holding out hope that Arcadia will just re-release the old Yamato version, and save them the trouble.  It doesn't fit right, because the proportions of the Arcadia are narrower than the Yamato VF-0, but it's still a lot of work saved.

Printing new front fins, or adjusted slotted tanks for the VF-0 might be a decent way to make it fit better though.

i felt misled by Arcadia initially stating the old ghost booster will be compatible with the new VF-0A,  (due to budget constraints, Arcadia said they will not redo the ghost but you can use the old one)

only to find out at release it doesn't fit. biggest troll by arcadia.

Still, its been 10 years since Yamato release the figures plus the Drone soo kinda thought peeps made a 3d print of the Ghost Booster knowing how rare it is now.

But ah well, wait it is then ^^

I mean I don't expect Arcadia to ever re-produce it, but I guess my point was that it doesn't make sense to scale up the HMR version when the 1/60 version already exists to just measure directly. ^_^  The weapons shouldn't have any trouble fitting either, aside from the chest mounts.

My thought was more that it shouldn't be hard to design and print a set of adapters to properly support the original ghost, since Arcadia just can't be bothered to do the work.

Edit: To be clear though, if it wasn't stated earlier.. Bandai didn't fix the proportions for the ghost either.  They did a straight re-scale of the Yamato version without changing anything, and because of this, it doesn't fit correctly either.  The only thing they changed was molding the canards permanently bent into the position that would over-stress the moving Yamato version, leaving the ghost propped up too high in the front.

The Yammie Ghost itself fits the Arcadia VF-0xx fine.

Only the ordnances (missile pods, fuel tank) don't, as the Arcadia mounting holes are slightly bigger and will not hold them without some fillers.

That looks great! I have been looking for a Yamato Ghost on used market to dress up my newly acquired 0A Shin but no luck..C’mon Arcadia, tweak that mold and re-release already.😎

dunno why your misb Ghosts fall off, tho.

Yeah, the weaponry all went flying off, but I thought the ghosts themselves were too tight (going off a long ago memory). Like the Yamato was a little wider than the Arcadia so you had to really pull those front canards in super tight to squeeze it onto the Arcadia.

Hey treatment, I think you're supposed to remove the white part on the top of the ghost when it's in booster mode. It doesn't really make sense though, wouldn't you want it to become a normal drone if you had to jettison it?

I know, but I'd misplaced the gray-cover replacement for the white-part a long long time ago...

😓

oh actually that's correct. it was too tight so i didn't bother wanting to stretch my tailfins on my 0A maybe that's why it fell off... :unknw:

and then the weapon holder were too large. I didn't want to put tacky pudding. on it and just kept them boxed in storage. 

not a good fit.

i have two boxed (once i get back East Coast) if you want to buy a set. (i brought them off that old ebay user sabrina_skimpy when they were cheap, they came with the factory tissue paper boxed) 

jk, probably won't get to it till 2026.

Maybe @Angesdad or @EzraNox will be interested in your set.

I'm ok with mine. I know the gray-part is in one of my baggie-parts, but I'm not that motivated to go searching for it. 

Besides, I'm really not that keen on the VF-0+Ghost combo look.  Nice in fighter-mode, but it looks just awful to me in gerwalk and battroid modes.

😅

Yeeeeee I know, what i mean is just a 3d print model of it, due to how absurdly rare these are plus how expensive the original Yamato Ghost boosters in the secondary market or if theres any. 
 

I could wait for Arcadia to reissue it but the Arcadia VF 0 line release 10 years ago with the VF 0A got its reissue last May. The Ghost booster is just a simple accessory for the figure. Sadly just looked everywhere if anyone did a 3d printed model of it. Really dont mind if its just a static solid one like the Bandai HMR version. Just for fun display purposes ^^

You brought one of my YF-21's, i'd be glad to sell you a ghost if I get back to my storage unit East Coast possibly in early 2026.

I'm interviewing for a position that may take me back East Coast by end of the year if I land it.

Curious, for the ones that have the Arcadia Vf 0, can the hands be separated? Wanted to know if its ball jointed and the diameter of the ball joint. Thinking i could replace it with either fixed posed hands from other macross figures or from gundam kits. Just a thought.

If they can be separated, can I see pictures of it? Thanksss
