Thank you, guys.

One more question: is the Peacemaker a fun toy to play (limbs falling aside), or is it better to leave it off as a nice display piece? I ask because I have so much fun with my Revo Brocken, but I'd be nice to get a bigger one with more accessories.

I thought the only difference was the colour. Blue vs Red. Am I missing something?

Yes the only difference is the colour. The retail version of the OVA Brocken should also come with the interchangeable armour in red. I can't see them justifying the same price tag for both if they leave it out.

Damn! Those legs are short. That Ingram reminded me of that old Valk with the huge canopy to fit the action figures. I don't mind the chubby looks of the torso, but it seems like Yamato couldn't afford legs big enough to go with it.

For all we know, there's a ver 1.5 planned already: Longer forearm + longer legs. 'Improvements' you know?

[Fort Max]

A bit worried now that the yamato still has that gray, I know, I know, it's probably still a prototype. But when you get to the point wher eevery picture you've seen of the thing is in the wrong colours you can't help but worry they've somehow managed to make an enormous balls up.

Do like the features though, especially ther magnet hands, if they can make it work so the gun handle just slips into an open hand and is pulled out of the holster then that'd be amazing.

I didn't know. So they're making those changes before the figure comes out or they'll wait for the second release?

He was being facetious. As far as we know, there are no changes planned at all.

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Hahaha! Sorry, I'm an idiot.

Ok. I guess is one less toy to buy. I was waiting for a nice pilot figure to pop out to make up my mind but those legs did it.

I'll only be getting 2 of the above (well 3 as 2 Hannibals). Not sure why anyone would buy the live action Ingram, it looks nasty.

New official images of Yamato's 1/24 AV-98 Ingram Unit 1

http://www.yamato-toys.com/dev/cont_059/index.html

The Noa figure is nicely painted but not articulated and appears to have a swappable head.

Normally I'm a lineart accuracy nazi, but Yamato's 1/24 AV-98 Ingram Unit interpretation is the awesome!!!

in this case, I like the liberties taken. can't wait for it.

[promethuem5]

Oh dear.. those pictures may have sold me...

[Dante74]

The Noa figure looks scary.

Where do I sign up? I need this. Too bad about the grey instead of black detailing though.

::EDIT::Can't find it on HLJ. When's this due for release?

Shorty's got a lot of nice features, I give him that, but the pilot figure is also a let down for me.

[todd77]

Wow, the articulation is really nice, though judging from the poses, the squat legs are now even more apparent (particularly the leg-lifting shots), to me at least. Can't complain too much though since at the moment, Yamato's Ingram looks to be the definitive toy incarnation when you consider all the features. Also, looking at some of the poses (the prince's funky walk cycle and the cat's cradle), I suppose we can expect TV versions as well (instead of swappable shields and antennas)? Love that open hatch, kneeling pose.

[Scream Man]

yeah I can live withthe short legs too, though it shocks me that Yamato hasnt noticed it themselves.

[holytoledo69]

Does anyone know who'll be selling the yamato version here in the states? And if so, how much will it retail for?

[Lynx7725]

Not that that's particularly hard to fix...

I think what I don't quite like about the Yammie version is the potbelly look. I don't quite need to be reminded of my own spread...

Wonderfully articulated, but Yamato does have a rep for having joint failure.. so I'm not too sure at the moment.

I'm sure the grey is still part of the prototype and the final production piece should be black.

[promethuem5]

Agreed... the grey makes no sense, and looks terrible... it's gotta be black on the final.

[Mowe]

Nice, if only the thigh is a bit longer to make it less stubby.

[IXTL]

From Toy-World.com.hk

The legs are painfully short. The right hand is almost low enough to grab the revolver cannon from the leg compartment even without extending. The biggest flaw in an otherwise fantastically detailed piece.

28,000 yen? Are they for real?

[Dante74]

28.000?!

Pass.

[todd77]

The 3/4 view doesn't look too bad proportion-wise but the full-frontal one really shows how short those legs are or how oversized the body and arms are in comparison to the legs. It's almost similar to Yamato's 1/48 valks with their nosecones extending past their knees only this time it's the hands with the Ingram. Here's a reference lineart:

And the asking price - woah - that's a little hard to swallow especially when you consider the less than ideal proportions...

[the white drew carey]

This is kind of shoddy, but I took the lineart Todd77 posted and laid it over the Yamato. For reference, I used the tip of the feet as a starting point, and matched the shield on the chest.

It seems, according to the lineart, that the Yamato is much more squat.

So, take it for what it is...

[Scream Man]

$418 aussie dollars before shipping?!?!?!?!

Man there is no toy in the WORLD I like that much!
