Nope, no landing gears. There's only so much you can do to a 1/200 scale toy priced at under ¥500. And personally, given the choice of landing gear or no landing gear I prefer no landing gear, as I think Valks always look much better in flight. Graham

The Frontier T-shirts are now up on the official site. I definitely want the white SMS one. Graham

I'm not sure yet if each box will contain all three modes. More likely, each box will hold only one mode of one type of VF. So pick one box at random and you get a YF-19 Gerwalk for example. Graham

Great work as always Jung. Graham

Guys, I've started a dedicated thread for the Yamato 1/200 figures here. Let's keep this thread for discussion of the Tomahawk only please. Graham

Thought I would start a dedicated thread for these, rather than having them lumped in with the 1/60 Tomahawk thread. Here's what I know and can say so far: This is series one. There will be several other series. Series one consists of the YF-19 in 3 modes, the VA-3M Invader in 3 modes, Hikaru's VF-1J in 3 modes and one mystery chase figure in 3 modes. Each VF comes in Fighter mode, Battroid Mode and Gerwalk Mode. Display bases are supplied with each figure. The Battroids and Gerwalks can stand without the bases if desired IIRC. The figures are constructed of ABS and PVC. Yamato made sure to use ABS for the wings, to avoid saggy/warped wing syndrome associated with PVC. The figures are molded in one color plastic, with other colors painted on. The Fighter and Gerwalk Canopies are seperate clear plastic pieces rather than just being painted on. There is some minimal articulation, i.e. the arms can rotate on the shoulder pegs, but that's about it. AFAIK, these will be blind packed. As well as the more mainstream Macross TV & OVA mecha, Yamato will also release several of the more obscure VFs in this line, such as the VA-3M, that have never been released in toy for before.

You can see pics of series one of the Yamato 1/200 scale figures (less the secret chase figure) in the first post of this thread. Graham

Yes, it is. The sculpts on these are really nice. Already had a chance to fondle them a few times. The YF-19 and V-A3M are my favorites. Graham
