Dr. Z Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 That "dobber" repaint reminds me of Transformers Movie Deluxe Dreadwing...
Jeremy007 Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 except for the fact that the Dobber 51 actually looks good.
Knightdramon Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Straying from the alternate colour schemes discussion but still on-topic, finally got my SV-51 Ivanov today. Overall, I dislike the fact that it has almost zero locking mechanism for the entire torso in battroid. I'm not sure if it's just mine, but the nosecone won't sit flush on the underside of the cockpit and relies on friction from the other parts to do so. Articulation isn't bad and the transformation isn't so hard either, but the instruction booklet is almost useless at parts (such as when transforming the shoulders correctly). Mine has the correct wing joints\no QC problems except for really, really loose ball hip joints. I had to take it apart and paint the sockets and the die-cast ball joint to increase friction and now he's rock solid.
promethuem5 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Nah, your experience sounds exactly like mine Knight... the directions are poor and the hips are loose, and comapared to other offerings it doesn't feel quite as solid in Battroid mode, but over all, once you get used to it's quirks, it's an amazing toy. It especially comes together once you fix the hips and realize how well articulated of a figure this is... no loose arms here.
eugimon Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I'd just like to say, I'm STILL waiting on my PRE-ORDER to arrive.
eugimon Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I won't post the shop's name publicly, and I know the owner, he's a pretty nice/honest guy. And I understand the reason for the delay.... I just don't like it.
Hiriyu Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I won't post the shop's name publicly, and I know the owner, he's a pretty nice/honest guy. And I understand the reason for the delay.... I just don't like it. I feel your pain.
miriya Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) I have a favor to ask for someone who already owns an SV-51... Can someone pose it in Battroid mode and extend the head up. Not all the way, hinge back a bit then forward, something that looks bizzare but still bad ass. And of course take a photo of it and post it on this thread. Thanks. Edit: more than one photo and more than one pose variant would be cool too. Edited November 9, 2007 by miriya
Nexx2 Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Has someone made a guide of transformation and a review on videos ?

Isamu test pilot Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Got my second Ivanov. Haven't transformed it yet- but am pleased to say that the wing tips hold perfectly, unlike my previous ivanov. am now trying to sell the previous one, but no one is crazy enough to buy it so... Guess I've got two Ivanovs Cooool VFTF1 VFTF1 Hi, I am new in this topic and while cheking some post I read yours, so I would like to ask you why you have to buy a second Ivanov? Sorry to ask you but this topic has a lot of post I did not find the previus one, thank you
Lord of Tetris Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Not so much of a weird pose, really. Reminds me a lot of Jetstorm's robot mode, from Beast Machines.
Guest sh002 Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 looking for a weird pose of an SV-51 ????? pray for it ??? For the SV-51 glory :wacko: :wacko: lol oh no you've created the next transformers movie robot design.
wolfx Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 I just played around with my SV-51 today after ignoring it for months, and I'm greatly troubled to find that the stress mark on the back part hinge where the wings connect to has grown. I'm not sure if it has grown or my imagination....but it looks like it can reach the whole hinge and break eventually. I am afraid. >_< And its really loose right hand due to the armpit hinge not locking properly doesn't help the problem. Probably will have to make it permanent fighter mode soon.
eugimon Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 you've ignored yours for months? I still don't even have mine.
wolfx Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah....i mean i played around with it, put it in battroid mode and ignored it for awhile. Haha....what r u waiting for then? Restock? 2nd release? Btw is the Nora out yet? Haven't seen member's pictures of it here yet.
eugimon Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah....i mean i played around with it, put it in battroid mode and ignored it for awhile. Haha....what r u waiting for then? Restock? 2nd release? Btw is the Nora out yet? Haven't seen member's pictures of it here yet. dude... I'm still waiting for my pre-order for the 1st release. At this point, I'm expecting some sort of "sorry we made you wait 4 months" gesture with my order.
Hiriyu Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 dude... I'm still waiting for my pre-order for the 1st release. At this point, I'm expecting some sort of "sorry we made you wait 4 months" gesture with my order. Yeah, I hear you there and can sympathize... I never cancel orders, on the basis that it is not fair to vendors to do so, but this one has had me seriously thinking of doing so. 'Tis already paid for though...
eugimon Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah, I hear you there and can sympathize... I never cancel orders, on the basis that it is not fair to vendors to do so, but this one has had me seriously thinking of doing so. 'Tis already paid for though... yeah, this is just way too long with little in the way of updates. Even an email every once in a while just letting me know what's going on would have been appreciated. As it is, I only found out it was supposedly in customs because I emailed him and asked. While I like the guy, I don't know that I'll do pre-orders with him anymore.
Dangard Ace Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Toy-wave's got the mass production type up for pre-order. http://www.toy-wave.com/eng/detail.php?id=9835&super=b
Graham Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Anybody in direct contact with member IAD (Luke), I need him to check his PMs urgently and give me a reply. Graham
Mowe Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Sent a PM to HWR MKII, I think he brought something from IAD before. Anybody in direct contact with member IAD (Luke), I need him to check his PMs urgently and give me a reply. Graham
eugimon Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I just want to give a shout out to twin moons for finally shipping my pre-order. 4 months after the toy came out. And 2 months after he took my money. And never giving me any sort of updates without me emailing him for me. Oh, and i also appreciate being lied to about the status of it, telling me he hadn't yet received his shipment when other people had already received theirs. / sarcasm
kensei Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Damn. Sorry to hear that, man. I hope that you will at least enjoy the toy when it arrives.

Guess I will cross them off of my list.
eugimon Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 thanks for the sympathy guys. I can understand the wait. these things can happen, but the lack of updates and than the telling me just received his shipment when he had been sending other people's orders out. All I can say is, if he didn't want my money, he should have just told me.
aaajin Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 twin moons, not good. got the point. thanks for the heads up.
