T0t0r0 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I'm pretty unreasonably excited about this release too. As long as I'm digging up old scans, here's a mod I have in mind for it.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Nice. Looking at all the galleries and transformation sequence now. The head looks nice (how they got all the stuff inside and you can see it through the visor. That is what could have been done for the 1/48 vf1 ) Waiting 20 years for this sucker, I can't get it out of my noggin. 20 years? Sh!t you're patient!

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 That's a great way to replace that odd fixed finger. Where can I get one of those kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0t0r0 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 It's not a kit. It's general instructions on how to scratch-build posable fingers. The stripstyrene packages they show are available in most hobby stores. I can post a higher rez scan if anyone wants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Thanks, TOtOrO. You're a good neighbor Good Lord! That's a nice Garland! I love the sculpt so far.

Fort Max Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I wonder if the mini diecast G1 Convoy would fit (at least in bike mode), I think the red on blue on red would look especially fetching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I got the Garland yesterday thanks to Neova (Thanks Anthony!!). I had no time to sit and carefully check it but I can give you guys some first impressions. The Garland is mostly ABS plastic just like the 1/48 Valks, comes with the Pilot, one Gun and the HUGE Yamato Box all full of... air. The pilot is nicely painted but is no where near the Chirico figure Yamato made for the 1/12 Scopedoggie, so don’t expect too much. In fact the pilot was a bit of a let down for me, arms and parts falls apart all the time and he is only in "seated position". Very cool looking for display tough… but I wanted to play with the little figure… The Bike mode is NICE. Wheels turn (somebody asked that) and it holds together nicely. The legs stay in position via Magnets... no problem with mine, it holds fine. But this is not a 1/55 ABS BRICK like the old Valks so it must be handled with some love. The Robot mode same as the bike is totally NICE. Holds fine and there are no parts flopping around. It feels sturdy. Poseability is really-really good. The head of the garland is fantastic, no seam lines, nice details and SENSORS!! WHY they don’t give us a VF 1S head and VF OS head like this one!! They always have to leave the stupid seam line in the middle of the face in our poor valks... Hands are also nice; it holds the gun without problems but not strongly. Anyways it can be posed without problems. Some people was worried about the Magnets, in my opinion they work really fine (at least in my toy), specially on the bike mode, in Robot mode only one of the two magnets (4 in total) will be used, this is not really a problem but it may "feel" loose. Plastic is nice but Yamato used a SUPPA Glossy ABS plastic. Not like the Mate finishing of the valks. This makes it looks too Toy-ish. Despite you like this or not it looks really well made and feels high quality. Well, you can always spray a matt coat and get rid of the glossy plastic. It really screams for a custom job, weathering or detailing at least... it will make this bike look totally great. Paint job is good. This are all first impressions, so far I am really satisfied with the Garland. It is one cool toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf_1s Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi, I have put in a pre-order of the Garland from Twon moon anime, and I was just wondering if anyone has received any news from them?
