Robban75 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hi everyone! Got my VF-0S a few days ago and thought I'd share some pics. Added some stickers to it. Very sturdy, very heavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Obviously the customs guy opened it up and swooshed it around a bit before putting it back. Lol they better have not! Actually the box looked unopened, that's the one I will obviously opening up. It's nothing major though and now that I think about it both will be opened especially with the armor coming out.

ChaoticYeti Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Finally in hand after spending almost a week in Nashua NH. My orders usually come in through Chicago, and than straight to me. Either way, it is here. Looks good at first glance through the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foblander Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) The VF-0S is solid. Everything is so nice and tight I wish I bought the 0D for $200 when it was on sale.

spanner Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Lovely photos Robban75! Has anybody pulled the legs out and rotated them? yeah I tested out both of mine and can report no issues thankfully! Someday, when mine ships, I will. .. someday, when it finally ships. where are yours at Jenius?? we want to see your review on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Got mine on Monday. Love it. Haven't transformed it yet, but I'll probably do that today. I did manage to take it out, and it's solid, sturdy, and very sleek, compared to the previous version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfinkel Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Its my favourite if the three of them. The white is just perfect. Arcadia, please use it on all valkyries going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Im rather liking the new Arcadia box art! Simple, yet elegant and straight to the point! +1 I wish the 0S has the white background though just for the heck of it. The black background is so yamatoish and looks out of place with 0D and 0A.

spanner Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I think the black on the Zero-S box suits the look of Roy's valk quite well actually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I think so too, Black and yellowish theme for a Roy's custom color valk. (black and yellow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Shes great, i love the toy. My only minor issue is the head piops off SUPER easily which is kinda annoying. but thats minor, I love the toy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Had a few minutes earlier to take it out of the box and transform it. Over all seems great. Joints are on the side of too tight. My left ankle feels so tight I am afraid of stressing the plastic to get it to rotate. I did have a piece fall off during transformation. It is the white plastic piece directly behind the canopy. The heat shield tab popped that piece off going to battroid. Hips seem ok. The only change I can make out is that the metal hip socket looks like bare metal. It isn't coated in the dark gray paint that the ones on my vf-0a had. Right hip was harder to extend than the left, but they both extended without anything popping off.

This is a great photo b'cos I really like the transition from fighter to gerwalk to battroid across the three different Zero variants! Works very well! Might have to use this very same idea when I do some display re-shuffling! Just yank real hard on them... what's the worse that could happen... what could possibly go wrong!?!? hehehe!

ChaoticYeti Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Just yank real hard on them... what's the worse that could happen... I think their "solution" to the hip problems was to keep the metal hip socket uncoated. You see this a lot in chroming on figures. The layer of chrome isn't take into account for tolerances. That extra layer of paint could be what is keeping the metal hip socket from tightening down enough to close the gap around the hip ball. Can anyone else take a look at where the swing bar enters the leg? Is your hip socket also bare metal?

Froy Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Man, if this thing If that was not stupidly expensive considering the lack of tampo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they would have figured this one out after they had to do, literally, the exact same thing for the VF-19 ankles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieNov Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Cool to know that the quality seems to have indeed improved and that they had made some actual changes to the hip sockets.Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, I will have to wait until early Feb to get my 0S because 2 of the items I had grouped it along with the shipment got delayed the day AFTER I made the invoice payment. If only that notice had arrived a day sooner, I could've split the pre-order before paying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Great! Looks like everyone is having a great time with their 0S. Mine is still sitting at HLJ's PW. Been thinking if I will get a second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Just noticed a factory error on my copy where they accidentally tampo printed the leg attachments! J/K It's just some preliminary detailing. This is easily my favorite Arcadia release so far and it's motivated me to stop slacking and get back to work detailing my valks.
