That grill doesn't cover the cockpit hatch, which is on the top part of the chest, in front of the neck on the RX-79G. Graham

Definitely, getting 3 of the RX-79G, it looks great. I note there is no beam rifle though. I guess that means they will probably release an Ez-8 with beam rifle. Wonder if we will get the hover APC as well? Graham

Not official. I have several pics of that from WF, which I'll be putting up soon. It's just a Hasegawa 1/72 kit with custom delta wings. The delta wings are from the same company that sell the metal head lasers every year at WF. I forget the name of the company. Graham

Got some nice pics of this from WonderFest, will put them up over the weekend. Graham

Then the host vehicle would be huge and probably expensive. Graham

The VF-0A & Shin VF-0A are essentially Low Vis already. Camo may be a possibility. Graham

Are you planning to sculpt a new head? The 'D' head is different from the 'A' head. Graham

A toy may present problems. While the non transforming host vehicles such as the plane, sub etc would be simple, the transforming cockpit section would be tiny, that is is you assume a host vehicle size of about 12" (30cm) long. Graham

Cheapest I've seen this here in HK has been HK$650 (US$84). Getting very tempted. Graham

At WonderFest the batteries in the Fold Booster were nearly dead, so I didn't bother taking a video. The next day when I went to Yamato's office, I got to see it in all it's glory with fresh batteries, but stupidly didn't think to ask to take a video.....duh! Graham

The stand is propreitary to the SV-51. Regular Yamato Macross stands cannot be used with the SV-51 in Battroid mode, owing to the leg length which is too long for the stand. Graham

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
