    I think the initial production run is limited to 1,000 units. I think it's mentioned in the promotional material I found below though I can't be sure since I can't read it:

    The spare ammunition storage was featured in the first movie, during Noa's ride up the elevator in the Ark near the end, where she had to manually reload her Ingram's revolver cannon. Another question for those who already have it: does the left hand extend as well, just like the right one? I think this is shown in the TV episode involving the underground dragon (no really!).

    Where did you get yours from? OverDrive STILL hasn't shipped mine citing delays in their shipment. Argh! How's the articulation of the toy? Any loose parts?
  4. todd77
    Yeah, my reissued 25F's head lasers won't angle out either.

    My reissued Alto in battroid mode. Can't seem to pull the antennas to get the ideal "v" shape as seen in some of the pics posted earlier.

    Funny that. I also ordered before the deadline from them but I got mine last week. Edit: If I remember correctly, they've pushed back the pre-order deadline at least once. I made my pre-order before the very first deadline, which was much earlier than the 2009-04-15 deadline it is showing now.

    The payment request should be sent to your email. Once you've paid and your payment status has been cleared (may take some time), the payment link in the payment request email should bring you to a page in Anime-Export telling you that the payment has already been made or the order has been canceled. For me at least, that is how I determine the status of my order. On the order's or basket page, the status will remain as "standing" until the order is shipped or canceled.

    33cm tall - that's about as tall or taller than a 1/6th figure. Watch the Yamato Toy TV to get an idea how big it is in person - its the third and last segment of the show. Found a new review courtesy of ToyboxDX. Man it's shiny!

    Argh, the wait is killing me. Overdrive hasn't even shipped mine and they won't resume shipping until May 7! Seeing the toy in Yamato's toy TV as posted here has me salivating even more - ratcheted, clicky joints!

    Will you be reviewing it?

    Even without the super pack on and with a super-glue fix on the hip tab, my 25G's hip connection is still looser than my RVF's and reissued Alto. Just transformed it and in the process of positioning the chest armor, the hip connection has a slight tendency to collapse although the click is still there.

    Mine is pretty tight, as tight as my RVF - it's almost a double click. Unlike my 25G...

    Here's a pic: The red circles highlight the holes required for Luca's radome. As you can see, the biggest hole at the rear is sealed for both Mikhail's and Alto's VF-25. However, the smaller holes (a pair of rectangular slots and a pair of tiny holes) remain. I don't have a first issue Alto so I can't comment on the differences between it and the reissue.

    Finally got around to taking some shots of my 25F. Nothing fancy though as I'm just comparing it with my 25G. Here's the both of them side by side. Overall, the 25F does exhibit less curvature but it is still generally angled upwards. I can't seem to get both sides of the wings for both valks to be perfectly even with each other though. Either that or it's the camera angle. From the side, it's obvious that the wings slant upwards a lot more on the 25G. Also note that the gunpod on my 25G droops quite a bit compared to the 25F. As for the slightly raised nacelles, that was one of the first things I noticed when I took it out of the box. Nothing truly major though, just a slight raise which I can also do with my 25G though it takes a bit of effort. The 25F just lends itself more easily to it.

    Check out the toy's incredible amount of articulation here and here. In fact, if you haven't already, check out Yamato's blow-out feature list here by clicking on the listed links.

    Found these from ToyboxDX: Love that second pic. Kudos to the guys from ToyboxDX. Edit: Damn, link already posted. Me blind.
  17. todd77
    I don't see any obvious marking saying that it's the new reissue and I don't have the original 25F with which to compare it. I also notice one other thing: the normal gunpod doesn't droop as much as my 25G (the tip of the gun touches with the underside of the fuselage - there's no gap unlike my 25G) and has an overall tighter fit.

    Just got my reissued Alto so here a few first impressions of the fighter mode: -The retooled holes are there but the big one needed to put in Luca's radome is covered, just like the 25G -I don't know whether it's my eyes but the wings do seem more straight than my 25G although it's still generally angled upwards -I don't know whether there's a mis-tranformation somwhere but the naselles on legs can be raised (very) slightly higher than my RVF and 25G and so there's a tiny bump that can be seen on the rear of the plane when looking straight from the front I'll try to post some comparison pics tonight when I have the time.
  19. todd77
    Hey, someone cheated by removing the rear leg armor! Anyway, nice pics and glad to hear that the fit is more secure.
  20. todd77
    Nice find. The proportions to me looks quite nice (especially in the second link) since the lineart of the labor looks pretty squat too. The painted figure looks good to me. A quick google translation says: Good: detailed accessories, exquisite packaging, body, patlamps, metal feet, OK level of die-cast content, large size, light-up lamps, knee and elbow joints Bad: price, too easy to tilt the upper body Wish the toy included a riot gun as well.

    I'm not too sure about this. My RVF has a giant hole for the radome's largest peg whereas my 25G, while the hole is there, it is covered. It does have the smaller holes and slots for the Radome's smaller pegs but with the giant hole covered, the radome cannot be attached. I wonder if Bandai will make the hole cover for the 25F removable for the fold booster attachment.

    The background designs and overall color scheme reminds me very of Tekkon Kinkreet's. Even the CG look has the same feel.
  23. todd77
    And I thought I was the only one. Whew. I really, really hope that it isn't plagued with QC issues considering the price point though (gulp!).
  24. todd77
    Anime-Export already has the Ghost and Fold sets up for pre-order, if anyone's interested. Like Overdrive, you'll have to pay in advance though.
  25. todd77
    Argh, I've wanted to do that for the longest time but all my CM's labors are back home whereas right now I'm in my university dorms. It'll be quite a while before I can go back. Here's a pic of the WAVE I posted a few pages back: And another:
