DX Chogokin vs Arcadia Premium?

[Kinjin]

What's the chances we'll see a VF-0S & VF-0D in the DX Chogokin treatment?

I'm really wanting both, and the prices for the Arcadia Premiums are a pretty penny... at this time (i.e. 2024), how do those two Arcadias compare to the modern Chogokin offerings (style/design/quality/etc)? I've never owned an Arcadia, and I've got some slight trepidation regarding dropping that kind of money on something that... I mean, has it aged well?

 

Thanks

Generally speaking, the "premium finish" Arcadia toys are more accurately-detailed than their DX Chogokin brethren.  Bandai has a habit of overkill when it comes to tampographs.

Given Bandai has recently acknowledged Macross Zero in their Hi-Metal R lineup, it's entirely possible that a DX Chogokin VF-0 could be in the cards... but it would be years away, if at all, and there's certainly no guarantee they'd be superior to Arcadia's offerings.  Arcadia's VF-0 toys are their finest achievement, the crown jewels in any 1:60 collection.
