>>5392937AWESOME pose! You just made me a fan of that design, dang!
>>5398829By the Chogokin, you mean the DX Chogokin VF-19 Advance, right? Because as
>>5399163 points out, there isn't a DX Chogokin of the YF model just yet (though one has been teased at the recent Tamashii Nations show). On the other hand, the Arcadia YF-19 is also going to be reissued, so you're probably going to end up with the same dilemma either way.
In my opinion, the Arcadia looks way better sculpt-wise. Love the Arcadia's fighter mode and everything fits together perfectly with no gaps, while the battroid mode looks much beefier (and thus more accurate to how it looked in Macross Plus) than Bandai's offering. Bandai's fighter mode has one or two areas where things don't fit together that great (primarily the parts above the intakes), which creates some gaps, and when attaching the boosters to the VF-19's wings you're supposed to un-tab the wings from the fuselage, which is kind of lame (especially because they photo-shopped that unplugged tab out of the promo/box images, tsk tsk).
The Arcadia also includes the weaponry seen on the cover of the "This Is Animation" Macross Plus design book, which is really cool to me as I love having under-wing stores to put on my valks, something that Bandai's valks generally don't include.
This is the Arcadia pictured here in gerwalk.
