(Last updated 11th April, 2006)
The aim of this page is to have all the pre-production photos and information on the upcoming Yamato 1/60 scale VF-0S toy collected in one place for ease of viewing.
Below are three large preview pictures (1300 pixel width) of the upcoming Yamato 1/60 Transformable VF-0S toy Note, the toy shown in the pictures below is an early pre-production sample from the actual molds and is made of ABS and diecast metal.
