It was just a placard that appeared years ago at some exhibition, but it became vaporware when there were no official mentions of it thereafter.

If not mistaken, this could be the only Macross item Arcadia have teased but never followed through after.

Unlike Bandai.. :rolleyes:

True. Arcadia's smart enough to just spent their budget on a glossy paper, ink, and an acrylic display to tease you for an 'upcoming' project. Not like Bandai where they will tease you 3 modes prototypes and ended up put it somewhere safe when they decided not to do it anymore. Bandai wins! :spiteful:

You mean the Bandai guy who pitched the "idea" (knowing there is no way Bandai would green-light it) wins when he takes it home and stashes it in his basement mancave!...thinking of the 1/35th VF-1J and 1/1800 DYRL SDF-1...imagine what those would sell for on auction....🤑

Yup. Against the Arcadia guy who's going to end up with a 'print out' in an acrylic tabletop display. :spiteful:

Love the design, hate the colors. Hoping this thing is issue-free, and they follow it up with the lovely 'B' series. Been some time since we had a new valk design to add to the display, and this one was high on the list, along with the Variable Glaug, VF-9 , and the VF-14. Oh yeah, and an improved YF-21 w/ good overall battroid proportions.

 

This so cute lol, I really like the proportions of this bird. 

Had to sell most of my valks due to moving to Japan, only retaining a single 22 Gamlin. 

Two months in and I bought a VF-4S MHR 🤦‍♂️

Does anyone know if they'll release a PF version of this shortly after? I just saw this on HLJ and I've been wanting one for the longest time. I will hold out for PF version if I know it's on the way.

How will it look like as a PF?

Man I don't even know what a PF VF-19 would look like. Sure hope Arcadia gives us one though! :)

I think a PF version would have some brown ink panel lines and way more tampo printing. They could throw in a bit of subtle weathering as well. They markup the price on the valks pretty good for the PF versions so who knows if they'll want to cash in on that.

Mr.K's  WonFest Summer-2023 report :  (get some auto-translate browser addons/plugins)

It is always nice to get updates from the persons directly responsible for the products & get a small insight into their thoughts.

That said, Mr. K mentions that the upcoming VF-19 Kai is being made at a new factory, compared to the previous issues. I hope everything turns out fine and we'll not get a repeat of the recent YF-19 spate of breakages. At same time, got to commend Arcadia for maintaining the prices for these reissues, when the MSRP of every other toy & reissues have risen steeply.

Frankly saying..couldnt careless for the fire bomber VF19. Give me a remake and PF ver of the VF 19S/A Emerald Force ver and the VF17D/S

No panel lines or weathering though just tampo for the PF ver to keep the price down

Since Arcadia seems to be revisiting Macross 7 I would highly encourage them to create a whole new VF-11B & 11C. (yeah, I know the 11B is Plus)

@recon This, I'd be on board for a remake of the VF 19S/A Emerald Force & their VF17D/S. Standard & PF variants.

And if they are really lazy, i would settle for a VF-1S strike minmay guard with all the fancy tampos. Kinda given up hope to see a reissue of the VT-1 Super Ostrich cos they may have lost the molds for it

I wonder what license bureaucracy there might be with BW and Bandai to proceed with all these suggestions? 

I'm still hoping for a VF-0A revisit... but perhaps a lot of that depends on exposure and the if eventual international Blu-Ray ever gets released.

^ This +1 please Arcadia. We need a Premium Finish release of the VF-0A (with legs that don't break off)

I would definitely second that! It feels like a no brainer with the secondary market demanding a premium on the QC plagued first release and the PF treatment having been done to the two other toys. C'mon Arcadia, get on it! Also, do a limited run of the CF at the same time and you'll save on costs!

+4 on VF-0A reissue, and PF a must! On other hand, Arcadia seems to be exclusively working with a new factory, so perhaps they are taking things cautiously.  

Definitely hope to see a PF VF-0A. Has anyone ever nudged Mr. K about it? I wonder if it's on Arcadia's radar
