no3Ljm Posted July 29, 2019 Author Posted July 29, 2019 Elbow joint is not brown like the HMR, in which is the basis for this. PO cancelled.
HardlyNever Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Does the pilot look a little bigger now? Looks like a new mold to me, but it is hard to tell (I know it is Hikaru vs... whoever he is in Digital Missions VF-X). The pilot in the current 1/60 one seems to rattle around a bit, so I wouldn't mind a slightly bigger pilot.
nightmareB4macross Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Just like the Bandai version. The yellow marking on the chest hump is far too forward and too big. Hope Arcadia fixes it before they release it. Either way, I’m still buying one. To add to the three Yamato and one Arcadia VF-4G. This is such a great design and now seeing it in FB 2012 colors makes this design that much better. Finally, it’s here.

derex3592 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Happy for those who are gonna go all on this. I personally like the Yamato scheme better, but that's just me, so I'm fine with keeping my one Yamato and my little HM-R VF-4 and calling it a day. Money saved on this one!
spacemanoeuvres Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I really enjoy the HMR so this is an insta-buy for me. Wish I could get multiples but those PF prices tend to be prohibitive.
Mommar Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 I’m happy to replace my HMR’s with this. Yamcadia’s mold is more accurate IMO.

The pilot in the current 1/60 one seems to rattle around a bit, so I wouldn't mind a slightly bigger pilot. It should be new since Hikaru's helmet on FB2012 is much different from what they've used on the Digital Mission version. And yes, I wouldn't mind a bigger size so it's not going to rattle. 7 hours ago, F360 said: I wonder if it will include a gun pod They should, right? But remember they've included a gunpod on their last reissue of the VF-4G via their webstore exclusive. Hopefully this time they add it too. I don't mind if it's just going to be pack on a separate plastic like how they pavk VF-1 option parts.

valhary Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 I love the color and the new pilot !!!!!!!!! the old one stay loose
Chronocidal Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Oh, nice, yeah that's definitely the FB2012 style shoulders and helmet. While I actually like the VFX one better, this one is accurate to the artwork. I hope they do more to fix the pilot slop though, just changing styles isn't going to keep him in the seat any better, and the instrument panel is just way too far forward.
jvmacross Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 According to the VFMF VF-4 Lightning book, the VF-4A should have different dimensions compared to the VF-4G...PO cancelled!
nightmareB4macross Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Are the Master File books canon? I always thought those to be non canonical and a bit of fan fiction.

This new VF-4A that they are releaseing is the one with the correct dimensions. Those old VF-1G Lightning III that was previous released under yamato and Arcadia are both wrong. Preorder Cancellation avoided

More than a bit. But they serve to fill in occasional gaps official documents don’t always address, when they aren’t completely contradictory or bat-crap insane.
Gwynne Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Good god it's about damn time. Arcadia will be rich after this one.
Chronocidal Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 You know, I thought for a moment I was having a weird flashback to 2012, in the very literal sense. I was thinking that broken landing gear looked familiar.. Are they still using that same prototype for their publicity shots?

I’m sure Arcadia took quiet note how popular the HMR version is.. It definitely seems to me like they’re just following Bandai’s lead here, but it’s still nice to see this getting made.
no3Ljm Posted August 12, 2019 Author Posted August 12, 2019 Looks like it's going to get released as Premium Finish. https://ameblo.jp/arcadiaac/entry-12503502412.html Quote 最後に『1/60 完全変形VF-4A ライトニングⅢ 一条輝搭乗機 Premium Finish』。 【価格未定 2020年春 発売予定 (c)1987 BIGWEST】 今回情報解禁となりました、新商品！ 以前弊社より発売させて頂きましたVF-4の一条輝仕様がPremium Finish版で登場です。 「待ちに待ったぞ！」という方も多いのではないでしょうか。 出来たてホヤホヤのデコマスですので、商品とは多少異なります。 （展示のネームプレートに「Premium Finish」と入れ忘れている事に今気が付く。申し訳ありません！ランディングギアも曲がってるしっ！） Quote Finally, “1/60 Perfectly Modified VF-4A Lightning III Ichijo Hikari Premium Finish”. [Price undecided to be released in spring 2020 (c) 1987 BIGWEST] New product that information was lifted this time! The VF-4 Ichijo Hikari specification, which was previously released by us, is now available in the Premium Finish version. There may be many people saying "I've been waiting!" Because it is freshly made decoy, it is slightly different from the product. (I now notice that I have forgotten to put "Premium Finish" on the nameplate of the exhibition. I'm sorry! The landing gear is bent too!)
Mechapilot77 Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 so this is a brand new mold or a redeco plus retool?
jenius Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Probably like December PO, 0D will probably be September.

jenius Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Nah, the tires will still fall off when you move it.
David Hingtgen Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 "The VF-4 Ichijo Hikari specification, which was previously released by us"----did I miss a release?
