You should paint the front two mounts to match... and then spray a couple layers of matte clear coating, to knock down the sheen and give it a more consistent finish. 2 hours ago, Lolicon said: How did you attach the display stand to the side of your shelf so securely?

Xigfrid Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 If I were you, I would give a try to Tamyia spray AS-9 (dark green) or AS-14 (olive green) on both front and back pylons. Just sand gently the acrylic paint before applying the spray can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onnasake Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Well, the answer is simple.....I didn't. That photo is sideways! I couldn't rotate it so I just said screw it. The stand is just laying flat and gravity is doing its thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerwookie Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 What do you all recommend when purchasing a yetistand for the Dx yf-19? Do I need the Arcadia adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkham Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Arcadia adapter are for ... Arcadia products :-) Someone correct me, but I think the SV-262 adapters should work with the Bandai DX YF19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmacross83 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Crazy question guys. I am an MISB collector so I very rarely remove these items from there boxes. How much does the YF-19 weigh in grams without the armor parts? I was one of the lucky ones. Both my YF-19s came with the antennas intact. I did not remove them from their tray though :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned in the Yetistand thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 At this point, I've just accepted that any Bandai valk is probably going to need some combination of tampo stripping and repainting. Fortunately, the wings are fairly easy to remove, and black is an easy color to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, sell your Arcadia and just buy the DX. The Arcadia was just too flimsy for me. I'm not sure what's wrong with your Arcadia YF-19, but I love mine as is. I find that the DX one is more flimsy due to that gap in the legs in Fighter mode. Not to mention the over-engineered chest transformation. And having both I think is much better to go. Having both is like having the best of both worlds. Flimsy or not. Edited June 14, 2019 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I like both, personally. Arcadia is more anime-accurate in appearance, Bandai is more detailed. Plus it has ankles that aren't too weak for gerwalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writing on wings or not I'm very happy with the DX but I only started collecting just about when the Delta figures were being released so I missed out on a lot of the Yamato/Arcadia releases. The VF-31J is 421 grams. Edited June 14, 2019 by sumyumgoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VF-31J is 421 grams. 421? Impressive! It weighs as much as the MP-10 Optimus. Actually you began collecting at the right time. There are a few Arcadias I can't live without. I've sold most of mine two years ago. The Delta valks are masterfully designed Valks (at least IMO). The YF-19 will remain as my favorite design. It just looks amazing in all modes!

Mine faceplanted itself once (or rather uniboob planted) in battroid mode and slightly dented the nosecone. I have never trusted leaving it on battroid mode ever since.

Sanity is Optional Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I managed to have mine standing up in gerwalk for a few weeks. As soon as I touched it, it decided to fall forward into the cockpit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmacross83 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 As much as I bash the Arcadia, I do regret selling it. The YF-19 is possibly the most attractive Valk design there is. What I would do just to have a DX YF-21 right now. Hell, I would lose my mind if Bandai released a DX Regult with a detailed cockpit.
