>>6655651DX Chogokins aren't entirely painted, and for a transforming toy that's really for the best otherwise you run into all sorts of issues with tolerances and paint chipping. What Arcadia and Bandai do, in lieu of painting the entire valk, is use quality, matte-finished plastic for the construction. It's really gives a nice premium feel to the valk and looks great. Bandai one-ups Arcadia's standard releases by adding a ridiculous amount of tampo printed detail to their valks as well.
Originally, Bandai used a gloss finish for their DX Chogokin valks (like with the VF-25S here; I actually feel the gloss kinda works for Frontier valks), but all their releases since the VF-19 Advance have had the nicer matte finish. Thus, the VF-1J will likely follow suit. DX Chogokins are really good toys and have all been quite reasonably priced (assuming you get it at MSRP), so as
>>6655658 said you'll probably be quite happy with it. My one concern about the potential DX VF-1J would be the price; it's going to be very large at 1/35 scale and it has working lights. The size and electronic components could make for a particularly pricey valk.
What is it about the Arcadia valks that put you off?
