twich Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 since I am a social media dinosaur and do not partake of it, does the twitter post mention when we might see more than the ankles of the VF-5000G? I feel like this is some sort of 1950's bikini model reveal photo. Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Looking pretty good overall. The booster still seems too low though. Also a little worried about how fragile looking the area is where the legs seem to attach at the thinnest point of the intake. It's similar to Yamato's VF-19 toys and one had disintegrated on me at that attachment point while having been displayed in battroid mode only a few months after getting it. I never paid attention before, but it seems like its transformation has a lot of similarities to the YF/VF-19 with regards to the arms and legs.

Scyla Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 The VF-5000 looks good but I think the head turret looks too bland. I don’t know what the could do to satisfy Kawamori maybe give the face blade a coat of darker green paint. Or a black Outline around the camera glass.

chriswoo Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 look great on the final product except i don't like the color theme. look like rock and roll 80's vibe haha however going to press PO button if they ever announce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hmmm i cant shake the notion that the 1/60 vf-5000 and a HMR 1/100 VF-0 'might' just be physically of equal size.... How big would a large HMR valk say the vf-2ss loook on that arcadia stand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I was thinking to be the only one with this feeling. I will PO for sure this first edition, but seriously can we hope for a more modern color scheme after this?

Axelay Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Well, let's see how sales do for the first release. Maybe Arcadia will consider redecos (e.g. Yamato YF-19 and its blue and orange variants) if this one does well. I personally LOVE the color scheme - it just screams Macross 7. I cannot wait to get a preorder in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sildani Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Hopefully there’s still time for Arcadia to refine things. The head laser pivot is big and blocky and, at least in this pic, wasn’t or couldn’t be recessed into the head in fighter mode. But hey, it’s a mass produced Star Mirage! What a world we live in!

I imagine with the booster attached it simply can't recess into the head. Otherwise it would be sticking into the booster like we saw with an earlier design. I'm assuming they aren't going to lengthen the pylons for the booster at this point so the only other option is to allow the laser to sit flush. I'll bet if the booster isn't attached the laser will sit correct. I don't think they could change anything at this point, that looks like a pretty far along demo unit. Except for a few warped seams it looks fully intact. No tape this time. I know we all want our alternate liveries but I'm assuming, given how Arcadia works, unless it's an in animation scheme (minus the VF-4 oddity) we aren't ever going to see alternates for it. Maybe they'll hit up the VF-X2, M3 or Plus liveries but at this point I'm even doubtful about that. You'd think maybe the Raven's scheme could work because it's nearly a Roy/Hikaru Skull Squadron analog but I'm not convinced they'll do any more. We'd have to buy the crap out of this one for even a prayer of others I'd imagine. Edited July 25, 2022 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the things that's made me question the design lineage. It usually shows VF-1->3000->5000->11->19. To me the 5000 looks like it's in the 11 configuration but with the 19's transformation. Almost like the 5000 and 11 should be parallel tracks and the 19 is the result of both merging back together.

Sildani Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Given the 5000 was designed to be kinda cheap and it was Shinsei Industry’s first produced VF, some similarities to the VF-11, which was also intended to work in atmosphere as well as in space, are unavoidable. It looks like Shinsei were so pleased with the transformation sequence in the Star Mirage that when Project Supernova came along they saved resources keeping the “core mechanisms” of the 5000 intact and “hung” all the bits that made the 19 off of it.

Bolt Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 This is really awesome. I'm very happy to see this coming along ! Love the Macross colors, will love to see more custom variants. But they probably won't be from Arcadia. Unless these completely sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see, seeing that there's no indication that there's a hole reserved for the shoulder armor to put that on. Yes, maybe via magnets. For now, I'm not sure if I'm going to preorder this when it becomes available. I want to have one even though I'm not a fan of M7/Dynamite. It has to do with the colors.
