Chet Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Wait, so is there a release date for Nora's SV-51 already?
Dante74 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Wait, so is there a release date for Nora's SV-51 already? It'll be released in october.
aaajin Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) not sure if this has been posted before...a partial SV-51 picture hope this helps to pacify the angry mob. EDITED : look carefully on the far right people! Edited June 18, 2007 by aaajin
eugimon Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 nice, the plastic mock up seems a lot more flush than the resin pics we've been seeing. And again, I love seeing all that metal supporting the joints.
wolfx Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Nice pics. Thanks ignacio. To date we still haven't seen any "gimmicks" on the SV-51. Doesn't look like the extending head will be part of it.
Mog Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 ^^I think a lot of us would be more ticked if they went the opposite way (showed us more of the gimmicks, but didn't show us how they're reinforcing the toy and making it less prone to floppiness or breakage). I know the latest Shin shoulder issue is a massive step back. But I really hope Yamato's taking our concerns about quality and build to heart.
eugimon Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 hmm, so if the VF-0 taught me anything, it would be: Yamato: wait for the FOURTH release.
Dobber Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 As much as I want an SV-51, I'm still contemplating canceling my order...and loosing my early bird price....because of Yamato's recent actions and the utter lack of any info comming to us for this release as opposed to the VF-0's, 1's, and YF-19. Graham has been very quiet here and in the shoulder replacement thread. Doesn't "SEEM" to bode well for this. Not sure what to do, but I am still keeping my order.....at the moment. Chris
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I feel for you, bro. I want an Ivanov more than anything but there's no way I'll preorder one given Yamato's QC issues trend. The Ivanov is the only version I'm interested in so I'll probably end up buying one despite the potencial flood of bad reports, but I can wait 'till prices drop. If it happens to be a good toy, then I'll be glad to pay full retailer price without a blink.
Graham Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Nice pics. Thanks ignacio. To date we still haven't seen any "gimmicks" on the SV-51. Doesn't look like the extending head will be part of it. Yes the head does extend. I'll post a scan of the latest pics tomorrow. Graham
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) Yes the head does extend. I'll post a scan of the latest pics tomorrow. Graham The countdown begins Thanks for the effort Graham!!! Edited June 25, 2007 by Ignacio Ocamica
Valkyrie addict Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 does the head comes with that nifty pull down visor that appeared before the armored VF-0S rammed it on the anime?
eugimon Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 woohoo! the return of Graham! oh, and the telescoping gimmick is pretty good news too.
Dante74 Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 This is going to be the badassed Gerwalk evah!!!!11
wolfx Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Graham just knows how to come in and "steal the glory" doesn't he. >_< That's good news indeed. What other gimmicks....hmmm....remember there was once Graham's sig said "Flap flap flap flap...." ? Maybe its got a "wing flapping action" hence all the metal joints. Buahahah. Press a lever and it flaps its wings like a bird.
ikhii Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Graham just knows how to come in and "steal the glory" doesn't he. >_< That's good news indeed. What other gimmicks....hmmm....remember there was once Graham's sig said "Flap flap flap flap...." ? Maybe its got a "wing flapping action" hence all the metal joints. Buahahah. Press a lever and it flaps its wings like a bird. hmm... sounds like a good thing. It would be somewhere close to transformers new 'blackout' helicopter mode. Press the tail and goes the propeller. If auto morph count as a gimmick in SV-51, that will surely be a topic to talk about. Any new pics from any magazines? I really wanna see more. it's nearly July... man, can't wait... really drive me Cry-Z ... hahahaha...
recon Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) nah no, please no automorph feature in the SV-51, that would increase the risk of future QC problems given yamato's bad history. Edited June 25, 2007 by recon
do not disturb Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 the more gimmicks the more issues. i'll be waiting for the 3rd release of this before i even consider buying it.
nightmareB4macross Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 the more gimmicks the more issues. True. Eventhough we get less gimmicks we still have more issues about not having gimmicks to have issues about.
aezonrath Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Posted by ikhii It would be somewhere close to transformers new 'blackout' helicopter mode. Press the tail and goes the propeller. God... I hope note. I have the blackout figure, about the only one I am got from the movie line since the rest did not interest me - even OP (my friends know me as a prime whore since I love OP, even Fatimus from Energon). But the novelty of it runs out quite fast. But then again, that is my opinion
Graham Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 New pic, showing extending neck gimmick. Will upload larger scan to the MW server later. Graham
charger69 Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) Awsome picture! (Potential buyer) BTW call the number, they will promiss you some discount Edited June 26, 2007 by charger69
konimon Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the scan!! It has many options, (my choice of) color scheme, extending neck and it stands on it's own. I am leaning toward buying this right away. Edited June 26, 2007 by konimon
eugimon Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Wow, it looks great in those pics. I love the way it looks with the wings folded back, ready to launch. I'm so tempted to keep my pre-order now. But at the same time, the recent back and forth with the VF-0's has really turned me off.
wolfx Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 w00ts...that looks awesome....lousy shot angle for gerwalk mode though. Hope they tampo print the wings and boosters.
Mog Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 w00ts...that looks awesome....lousy shot angle for gerwalk mode though. Hope they tampo print the wings and boosters. Amen to that. I really hope they tampo all the red skulls and crosses.
ikhii Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 NOW THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!! I want one now!!!!... can feel the box in my hand already (even though i'm holding shin's box ) My imagination is running wild on this one.
Swoosh Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Amen to that. I really hope they tampo all the red skulls and crosses. Chance is high if this is a production sample, they look so smooth on the surface and there are no other minor marking like "No Steps" on it.
