Yamato booth page up. Other WF report pages to follow soon. See it here. Graham

Yep, the grip folds for fighter mode. Graham

Bandai doesn't have a booth at WonderFest, neither do Hasegawa Graham

Photos all resized and thumbnails created. Just got to edit them all on to a page and write the text. Will start tonight after my son goes to sleep and the wife has been serviced. Graham

Having watched DYRL before seeing the TV series, I'm far more a fan of Hikaru's VF-1S color scheme than I am of Roys. Graham

f'rs??????? Ah, I get it, f'rs = first releases Graham

Actually, I missed those. I looked all around but didn't see them. Actually, we saw an 1 empty box, but that's all. Graham

There won't be any news so soon, especially as most of the factories in China are still closed for the Chinese New Year Holiday and don't open until the end of this week. Graham

Only in fighter mode this time, sorry. Graham

Yep. Graham

I'd prefer the screws weren't so visible on the forearms, but in a way they sort of add to the old school charm that IMO the toy possess, so I can live with them. Graham

In episodes # 1-3 of Macross Zero the SV-51s are shown armed with just two of the micro-missile launcher/auxillary drop tank composite pods mounted near the wingtips and two of the large R-33D Amos+ medium-range maneuvering missiles mounted mid-wing. However in the last episode (episode # 5) both Nora and DD are armed with 4 of the micro-missile launcher/auxillary drop tank composite pods, along with two R-33D Amos+ medium-range maneuvering missiles and two overwing high-speed, high-maneuverability twin jet boosters. See screen capture below from episode # 5. Graham

Correct. Graham

The girl was pretty small, but it is a big toy. Big in that it's long, longer than the VF-0 or YF-19, but it's very slim & slender from the side, much more so than the VF-0 or YF-19. Yes, the stand will be included with the toy. That is a painted resin sculpt, so the actual color of the production ABS toy may be a little diferent. The release is tentatively sceduled for July, but that could be subject to change depending on how long it takes to resolve any unexpected technical issues that may (or may not) crop up during the production process. Graham

And one more teaser pic showing the weapons that are included as standard with the SV-51. FYI, the things in the top right corner are the two gunpod magazines. Graham

Here's a teaser pic to keep you salivating until the report goes up. Graham

From what I understand yes, it will be sold both seperately and as a bundled set with the Scopedoggy. Graham

OK, deleted all the pics that were too blurry (I had a lot of booze to drink the night before, so my camera hand was a bit shaky). 180 useable pics remaining. I've renamed them all, to make it easier for me to put them on a webpage. Next step is resizing, followed by thumbnail creation (the part I hate the most). I've got about 25 pics of the Yamato SV-51 and about 30 pics of the CM's Legioss & Tread. Graham

I didn't see a single one of those signs anywhere. Graham

Yep, that's me. Graham

Sorry, it's gonna take some time. I've got to resize, rename and create thumbnails for about 200 pics, then create a page for them. At least a week I reckon. Graham

It looks very impressive in person, especially with the shoulder lights turned on. The only thing that has made me so far hesitate to buy it is the cloth joint covers. Graham

I had diplomatic immunity from scary booth guy and carte blanche to take as many pics as I wanted. Graham

Looking, playing with, zooming around etc, etc. It's purty! Graham

Don't worry, I have lots of pics of the Yamato stuff at their booth including: - 1) SV-51 w/weapons. 2) VF-0A Shin w/Ghost Booster. 3) Ghost. 4) Motoslave. 5) YF-19 w/Fold Booster (the LEDs are really cool). 6) 1/24 RC Turbo Custom Scopedog. 7) 1/12 Red Shoulder Custom w/full weapons. Of course I'm allowed to take as many pics as I want. It's gonna take me a few days to get them all together on a page. Graham
