PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) It appears they may have angled it up by like 2 or 3 degrees... and maybe raised/extended the standoffs/mounts by 1mm or 2mm barely noticeable... https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/img/hbw/docs/1427/107/html/1.jpg.html EDIT: I was also thinking they sized down the cone of the booster by maybe 5% and/or made it shorter, or set it back.

derex3592 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I really DO wanna support Arcadia and get this as it is something different, but that paint scheme....🤮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 As long as it's the darker scheme seen in the more recent photos, I actually really don't mind it. A little gaudy, but nothing like the neon turquoise it used to be. I'm just thrilled to see a NEW design after.. how many years has it been?

If we're not going to count Arcadia's remodeling of YF-19, VF-0, and Sv-51. Can we agree that it's already been 10 years? 10 years since VF-4 and if we're going to consider VF-0D as a new design, then it's 5 years.

no3Ljm Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Would it be nice if Arcadia starts to include fixed posed hands starting with this VF-5000G. That would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Sauce Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Can't wait to get this. It's been a while since I bought a Yamato/Arcadia Valk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Wonder will there be a premium and standard or will they just with just 1 kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they save their Premium Finish versions for the more popular hero Valks, like Roy's, Hikaru, Isamu etc. Though the did do the Elintskeer so I suppose there's a possibility they'd do a PF for this one.

Chronocidal Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I'm still really hoping they do a PF VT-1. Would love to see that one with ALL of the markings added, to match the VE-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only claimed to put that out to contrast the old weathering version and "gauge interest." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it comes with all that tampo on it which the old one didn't and one would have had to put the stickers over the weathering which would have looked odd.
