Mechamaniac Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Dammit, where's my payment request from Tam... Waiting 20 years for this sucker, I can't get it out of my noggin. Quote
T0t0r0 Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I'm pretty unreasonably excited about this release too. As long as I'm digging up old scans, here's a mod I have in mind for it. This is from an insert in a late 2000 hobby magazine: Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Nice. Looking at all the galleries and transformation sequence now. The head looks nice (how they got all the stuff inside and you can see it through the visor. That is what could have been done for the 1/48 vf1 ) Waiting 20 years for this sucker, I can't get it out of my noggin. 20 years? Sh!t you're patient! Quote
wolfx Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Gah..why no poseable hands like that on valkyrie. Quote

This is from an insert in a late 2000 hobby magazine: 404656[/snapback] Thanks for posting that, I had been looking for it off and on for a while. I too am stoked about getting a Garland finally. C'mon BBTS don't let me down... Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 That's a great way to replace that odd fixed finger. Where can I get one of those kits? Quote
T0t0r0 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 It's not a kit. It's general instructions on how to scratch-build posable fingers. The stripstyrene packages they show are available in most hobby stores. I can post a higher rez scan if anyone wants it. Quote

Vermillion21 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 So, has anyone got their Yamato Garland toy yet? Comments? Feedback reviews? Quote
T0t0r0 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 By request, here's a quick post of enlarged scan. That's as big as ImageShack would let it get. To get moderately back on track... was this site posted here before? http://blue.ap.teacup.com/applet/mustang/m...te8/archive?b=5 Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Thanks, TOtOrO. You're a good neighbor Good Lord! That's a nice Garland! I love the sculpt so far. Does anybody know who this guy is, or if that Garland will be for sale? I can't read a word of japanese yet. Quote
Chowser Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Tam posted recently that Yamato was getting them in by end of next week. Quote

T0t0r0 Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I'm not sure how well linking to this imageboard will work, but here are some shots of the Garland with some microman figures. Some of these photos show a partially disassembled Garland so you can see some better details of how it works. http://kandarai.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/...60604214324.jpg http://kandarai.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/...60602191847.jpg http://kandarai.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/...60530180414.jpg Quote
Fort Max Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I wonder if the mini diecast G1 Convoy would fit (at least in bike mode), I think the red on blue on red would look especially fetching. Quote

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 I've seen enough pics of the garland. Was wondering if anyone had impressions? Quote

Skullsixx Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 I've always liked that bike... looked cooler in MZ 23 part 2. Quote
Graham Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 The Garland hardly had any screen time in Part 2 Graham Quote
Sebastian Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 I got the Garland yesterday thanks to Neova (Thanks Anthony!!). I had no time to sit and carefully check it but I can give you guys some first impressions. The Garland is mostly ABS plastic just like the 1/48 Valks, comes with the Pilot, one Gun and the HUGE Yamato Box all full of... air. The pilot is nicely painted but is no where near the Chirico figure Yamato made for the 1/12 Scopedoggie, so don’t expect too much. In fact the pilot was a bit of a let down for me, arms and parts falls apart all the time and he is only in "seated position". Very cool looking for display tough… but I wanted to play with the little figure… The Bike mode is NICE. Wheels turn (somebody asked that) and it holds together nicely. The legs stay in position via Magnets... no problem with mine, it holds fine. But this is not a 1/55 ABS BRICK like the old Valks so it must be handled with some love. The Robot mode same as the bike is totally NICE. Holds fine and there are no parts flopping around. It feels sturdy. Poseability is really-really good. The head of the garland is fantastic, no seam lines, nice details and SENSORS!! WHY they don’t give us a VF 1S head and VF OS head like this one!! They always have to leave the stupid seam line in the middle of the face in our poor valks... Hands are also nice; it holds the gun without problems but not strongly. Anyways it can be posed without problems. Some people was worried about the Magnets, in my opinion they work really fine (at least in my toy), specially on the bike mode, in Robot mode only one of the two magnets (4 in total) will be used, this is not really a problem but it may "feel" loose. Plastic is nice but Yamato used a SUPPA Glossy ABS plastic. Not like the Mate finishing of the valks. This makes it looks too Toy-ish. Despite you like this or not it looks really well made and feels high quality. Well, you can always spray a matt coat and get rid of the glossy plastic. It really screams for a custom job, weathering or detailing at least... it will make this bike look totally great. Paint job is good. This are all first impressions, so far I am really satisfied with the Garland. It is one cool toy. Quote
vf_1s Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Hi, I have put in a pre-order of the Garland from Twon moon anime, and I was just wondering if anyone has received any news from them? It has been a while, and today is suppose to be the release date for them, but I still haven't got any request of payment from them... I hope I get it soon... Quote
Skullsixx Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 I may seriously have to pick one up. I wonder if the'll be available at SD Comic Con? Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Thanks for the comments Sebastian!! Anyone else? More pics? Quote

I was in contact with Tam lastnight and he said that the Garlands wont show up from Yamato till sometime next week and to just be patient, when he gets his stuff he'll get them and it'll be all worth it Quote
