It's a shy kind of face that I'm trying to imitate. It's just that our emoji is kind of limited so I just use the nearest one I could think of. Sorry about that, Dobber.

chyll2 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 white part seem like diecast painted and they must be testing tolerance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I'm not really a fan of Nora's color but I'd happily buy an SV-51 in the color of the test plastic there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twich Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Looking back a few pages on this thread, the Arcadia version looks just like the Yamato version ( I had the Cannon Fodder version). Hope the wings dont flop and the vertical stabilizers dont droop like they did on the Yamato Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wing white bits are painted metal, good to know that'll be a strong hinge. Those white pieces were metal on the Yamato version too....it didnt help....hopefully Arcadia learned from the Yamato and are making some adjustments to make it more tight/lock together better. Otherwise it was a unique and awesome toy. Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SV-51 is downright gigantic; one of the biggest valks in the Macross universe IIRC. So I'd say it's pretty accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Battroid looks awesome! As for that red SV-51, is that just another unpainted prototype or is that a wink-wink that Nora is up next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 hmm, dunno. looks like another Arcadia leg waiting to break at the hip-joint. they really should test it rigorously. don't want to see another expensive legless mech after just not even a single transformation from the Zero franchise...

valhary Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I know about the size of the SV still see a pilot disproportionate also in this other pictures It can be seen an acrylic part helping to maintain the wing (I hope because is the test but looking exactly the same problem that the old yamato when you use all missiles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 10 years since the old one have they done any modifications to the mold or diecast . Anything? Because its looking exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It's a completely new mold and that's why they are testing tolerances. Proportions were already fine for the original version, that won't change a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's wait until we see any text content along with new photos from them. All the photos came from people who were in the said exhibit.

From a distance the VF-0 also looked “the same” as the Yamato version but they were not. Every proportion was tweaked and adjusted. it’s just these Valks were designed off of 3D models so their first try was closer to being perfect than any of the hand drawn only Valks with more wildly varying dimensions.

Lolicon Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Put a Yamato VF-0 and an Arcadia VF-0 next to each other and you'll be see that they are absolutely not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twich Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The difference is the VTOL fan cover opens in fighter mode, it looks like. It didn’t do that on the original Yamato. To me, the different color plastics on the new pics indicate the different new parts? Someone said it was an entirely new mold, so who knows. Just watch out for the dagger on top of the head, don’t know how many times I drew blood on it. Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I’m sure the wings are going to be tighter and this will probably have a little bit more articulation. And if you set it next to a Yammy, you will see the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Like the Yamato VF-0 to the Arcadia VF-0, as similar as they look, the moment you pick them up the difference is clear. One has a leg that breaks off from sh*tty plastic and the other has a leg that falls off from poor manufacture. I kid... I mean, the Arcadia handles WAY better than the Yamato, feels much more solid.
