UN Spacy Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 I remember Graham mentioning Yamato hired a new quality control supervisor a few weeks ago.

eugimon Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I'm still ambivalent about these guys, so i have no problem going 2nd release on these guys.
UN Spacy Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Sticker on the heatshield. Maybe Yamato used a preproduction version for this commerical.
Hurin Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Nevermind. Old news. Edited January 31, 2008 by Hurin
aaajin Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 some interesting shots that I took off the video.. notice the arrow on the head is black...like in the movie (or was it yellow in the movi and black in the anime...I forgot..) and the thrusters look as articulated as the 1/48...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Thanks GGemini for the upr. Looksfantastic!!! I like how they had the 1/48 barrelrolling and then it separates for side by side 1/60. Looks like there won't be a rotating seat feature. Not suprised mind u. Roy looks fantastic! I will be grabbing the 1st release. Edited January 31, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
kaiotheforsaken Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I'll definitely be picking up a few of these, especially since I barely bought any 1/48s (despite my want to pick up several more).
aaajin Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 oops..looking back at the stock photos...I guess the arrows will be yellow
mojacko Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 seems Yamato will include the fast pack afterall.....
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) What i want to see next - * FP/Strike in Battroid mode. * + gerwalk * production sample with TAMPOs including the skull on the heatsheild... >_> * and of course one sitting in my own hands/display cabinet. Edited January 31, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
nightmareB4macross Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) There is something fishy about the transformation sequence. When the video shows the valkyrie transforming from gerwalk to battloid, it begins with a brief display of the bottom view, but there is no head present. Then it goes through the tranformation to battloid and at this point the chest and the back are completely closed to form the body, still no head shown. Finally, out of thin air the head appears. I know animagic is involved in the TV show and the Movie, but now real life?? Or does the head have to be removed for transformation? Edited January 31, 2008 by nightmareB4macross

But this line will be basically pointless if it weren't perfect transformation. I doubt the head is even an issue. again, probably because it's a prototype.
eugimon Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 yeah, the toy shown in the commercial is probably a hand painted resin mock up... I wouldn't read too much into it.
CF18 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 It looks like the back packs of the fast pack is a big single piece - kind of like the chunky monkey but the link part is better hidden.
misterryno Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 It looks like the back packs of the fast pack is a big single piece - kind of like the chunky monkey but the link part is better hidden. If they are just 1 piece like the Chunky's then I am HAPPY

I doubt the head is even an issue. again, probably because it's a prototype. Well, that's what they said about the 1/48 line. Yamato was ALWAYS stating it was PT (just look into the magazine section). Now we have Yamato claiming this is PT. If the first attempt, if it was true PT then there should never have been anything after the 1/48 VF-1. And here is a little info should anyone have any doubts of what PERFECT means: Word: per·fect Pronunciation: \ˈpər-fikt\ Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English parfit, from Anglo-French, from Latin perfectus, from past participle of perficere to carry out, perfect, from per- thoroughly + facere to make, do — more at do Date: 14th century 1 a: being entirely without fault or defect : flawless <a perfect diamond> b: satisfying all requirements : accurate c: corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept <a perfect gentleman> d: faithfully reproducing the original; specifically : letter-perfect e: legally valid 2: expert proficient <practice makes perfect> 3 a: pure total b: lacking in no essential detail : complete cobsolete : sane d: absolute unequivocal <enjoys perfect happiness> e: of an extreme kind : unmitigated <a perfect brat> <an act of perfect foolishness> 4obsolete : mature 5: of, relating to, or constituting a verb form or verbal that expresses an action or state completed at the time of speaking or at a time spoken of 6obsolete a: certain sure b: contented satisfied 7of a musical interval : belonging to the consonances unison, fourth, fifth, and octave which retain their character when inverted and when raised or lowered by a half step become augmented or diminished 8 a: sexually mature and fully differentiated <a perfect insect> b: having both stamens and pistils in the same flower <a perfect flower> — per·fect·ness \-fik(t)-nəs\ noun synonyms perfect whole entire intact mean not lacking or faulty in any particular. perfect implies the soundness and the excellence of every part, element, or quality of a thing frequently as an unattainable or theoretical state <a perfect set of teeth>. whole suggests a completeness or perfection that can be sought, gained, or regained <felt like a whole person again after vacation>. entire implies perfection deriving from integrity, soundness, or completeness of a thing <the entire Beethoven corpus>. intact implies retention of perfection of a thing in its natural or original state <the boat survived the storm intact>.
Lonewolf Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) The new 1/60 VF-1 looks really nice, but it isn't enough for me to sell my 1/48s. I'm happy with them and so what if they are not in scale with the others. EDIT: Spelling and grammar. Edited January 31, 2008 by Lonewolf

So you're saying that the 1/60 is gonna be sexually mature? I guess it's time to stop molesting my 1/48s!
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 perfect transformation=no parts swapping/removal needed for transformation.
nightmareB4macross Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 So you're saying that the 1/60 is gonna be sexually mature? I guess it's time to stop molesting my 1/48s! I'm saying it isn't. Please, continue molesting your 1/48s. You perv! <Note to self> Never let EXO near any of my 1/48s.
warpaint22 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 As I said I'm looking forward to these but I must admit the more I read and see of them just makes me want to buy some more 1/48s while they are still around. I'm pretty happy with the look of the new 1/60 but I'm not a fan of the flattened back pack as it looks the wrong shape, but I can live with that it just means there is still a place for the perfect VF-1.
danth Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Man does the 1/60 look hot. I want it so bad! I want to have it's babies!
misterryno Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Man does the 1/60 look hot. I want it so bad! I want to have it's babies! BY GOD MAN!!! Calm yourself
dizman Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Man does the 1/60 look hot. I want it so bad! I want to have it's babies! He's a madman...... A MADMANNNN!
warpaint22 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Man does the 1/60 look hot. I want it so bad! I want to have it's babies! No no no........no!! Not another new scale!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) No no no........no!! Not another new scale! *wife* Well look at that, he's got his father's nose-cone! Edited February 1, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Scream Man Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Graham has staed before that it transforms similar to the Zero, so I very much doubt the head come soff. Maybe it just wasnt on the proto for some reason. Its as perfect transform as can be Im sure.
misterryno Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 *wife* Well look at that, he's got his father's nose-cone! *hubby* Well..Unfortunatlly she got you flat BP. Let's just hope her Booby Ducks develop for her sake.
UN_MARINE Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 did they change the release date ? i thought they said "summer" or "summer-ish" the real horror here is, how soon is it scheduled for release after the YF-21 ? do we get a month or so to recover, or will they bury us the week after?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 lol you guys... with your leg swap and head swap worries... *smirk*
