Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 its 1/15 scale...so I imagine thats fairly big. I could be wrong. 1/18 is a gijoe scale figure, the a 1/15 pilot could possibly be 5 inches? Who knows. But its perfect transformation WITH magnet assist, this is promising. Hopefully it turns out well. Can't wait to see new pics of the VF-0/ Quote
isamu_dyson Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 The bike is 10 inches long ... 25.5 cm ... it costs 17.640 yen, 124.3 €, $152,2 ... quite "heavy" ... but why not lol Quote
Majestic Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) Couple more pics from noda-ya.com. Bot' mode obviously not quite finished. link: http://www.noda-ya.com/html/syohin/figure/02000852.htm I suppose a separate "Yamato Garland" thread should be started in the "Other Anime..." forum.

Graham Posted January 27, 2006 Author Posted January 27, 2006 Okay, at the risk of sounding like I'm not very knowledgable about the VF-0, what's the deal with the gap above the feet in GERWALK mode? Is that how it's supposed to be are just something that's necessary for the toy or am I just being confused by the lighting? Let me know if you guys don't see what i'm talking about... 363920[/snapback] It looks like the feet can be pulled down further in Gerwalk mode, to allow them to be angled more forward. Graham Quote
Graham Posted January 27, 2006 Author Posted January 27, 2006 Guys, Here's the new photos of the Yamato 1/60 scale VF-0S toy from the March 2006 issues of Dengeki Hobby and Hobby Japan magazines, enjoy!

AlphaOne Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Thanks for the pics Graham! I've been anxiously awaiting more pics for the VF-0, and I gotta say, it's coming along bea-u-ti-fully!!! Quote
Sebastian Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Thanks for the pics G-Man. This toy will be a beauty, I am so glad Yamato dropped the PVC crappy 1/100. Yay! I will get two at least. Also the Garland will be great, Yamato is really killing my wallet. ho well.. this happens to me for been a toy whore. Nice GERWALk & GARWALK... by the way. Quote
dr_vandermeer Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Looking good. Thanks for the pics Graham! Quote
feudallordcult Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) it's simply LOVELY! Thanks for the efforts, graham. on a side note, this plane resembles a F-15 eagle xcept for the wings. any views on this? Edited January 27, 2006 by feudallordcult Quote
myk Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Hot damn, that's lovely. I'm dreaming of this thing with colors... Thanks Graham... Quote
jenius Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 The feet look better! Highlights: 1) Definitely no diecast (correct me if I'm wrong) 2) Appears to be Fast Pack ready (from the backpack in GERWALK) 3) Collectibility will drastically increase by your ability to keep the front antenna from breaking... that thing is a total accident waiting to happen. Quote
DARKWIND Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I am Soooooooo getting one of these. . . But only one. . . And that Garland is going to be a must have. . . Quote

For our sake I hope that particular piece is detachable, or at least in the form of some kind of flexible material, although that would ruin the model-esque nature of the "toy." Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I'm gonna post before I take a look......thanks again Graham for coming through with your extra large scans so we can go over EVERY inch with a magnifying glass. Quote
ValkJunkie Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Lookin' better and better!.. I am digging the missiles. Although the head turrets look huge. This is definitely a must have. Can't wait. Mucho thanks for the scans! Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Is there gonna be clearance for the gun pod in Fighter Mode? Looks like it's gonna be like the VF-1 (aka close to scraping the ground). Quote
wolfx Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 *Rubs eyes* April release?! That's only like,...another 2 months away....w00ts!!! Quote
isamu_dyson Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Highlights: 1) Definitely no diecast (correct me if I'm wrong) You can see diecast pieces , they are in silver !The VF-0 looks ..waou.. I want it Thanks graham Edited January 27, 2006 by isamu_dyson Quote
LtStick Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Tam posted a picture of another picture of Gerwalk mode. http://www.tmpforums.com/index.php?act=Att...pe=post&id=3452 Quote

I want it Thanks graham 364753[/snapback] Looks like the LERX/internal chest plate/front hinge of the shoulders are metal. the actual shoulder hinge connectors are the dark gray ABS, like the feet and gun. Quote
kensei Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Ummm they need to fix the hands. They need to pull it out of the forearms a bit more...but then again I thought that the hands don't retract? They should make them a touch bigger and make em MG like hands. I'm very happy with it as a whole so far. I think that it looks mad funky. Can't wait to see the completed model. I think I'll drill holes in the airbrakes too. Quote
Majestic Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Thanks for posting pics. Nice and detailed views! Looks like the airbrake vents are merely indented, but I'm sure they can be drilled out easily enough. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Love everything about the VF-0, except: 1. The skinny arms. Could be beefed up just a little. 2. The backpack. Looks odd something doesn't look quite right. 3. Chicken hands. Could be bigger. Other than that, it looks great in all modes. Thanks for the pics, Graham. Quote

Thanks for the pics, Graham. 364861[/snapback] I think these issues are related to the transformation and the compromises needed to transition between lineart and a workable toy. The arms need to be skinny enough to be hidden between the legs in fighter mode (which in turn are oversized at the inlets in order to hide the shoulders). The backpack needs to be oversized to hide the hands and fold flush with the wrists (which in turn are undersized to fit the backpack). Quote
stuffparties Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Yeah, Thanks for the pics, Graham. By the way what happen to the boards? It was down? Or my computer was playing tricks? Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 It was definitely down man. I really hope hobby dengeki takes a photo of this next to a 1/48 VF-1 in all 3 modes, I want to see how much bigger this beaut is. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I'm so buying this bird!!! Unfortunately I see two problems, maybe one if the battroid isn't transformed properly. Look at the shoulders, the top of them interferes with the wing, reducing mobility. In battroid mode it appears they touch the chestplate ala 1/60 VF-1 (I hope it is transformed wrong, I believe it is collapsed into the chest area). Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I've studied other pics and in battroid mode there seems to be no major problem. But in gerwalk mode the shoulders are going to hit the wing Quote
eugimon Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 good work on noticing that... i have to say "meh" though... so here it is. meh. Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 excellent pictures, i am definetly grabbing one of these up. chris Quote
Mr March Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Oh, new pic's! Cool stuff. Looking better all the time. Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Looking good, looking forward to the finalized pics w/colors. Thanks Graham! Quote
