aaajin Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 not sure why some people cant see the new scan including myself. But here's the pic courtesy of wolfx (or Graham, if he got it here) from another forum : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 there are OTHER forums??? Heh. thanks for posting the pic up here. Again, I really love how the SV-51 looks. And I love that the toy is able to reproduce some of the gimmicks from the show... like folding up for launch and the extending head. I'm just really nervous about it ending up like the VF-0 and being a lemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scream Man Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 damn, that does look good.... gah....I was gonna skip this but......so hard to resist...... What are those red arrows pointing at in the smaller pics on the left side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konimon Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 What are those red arrows pointing at in the smaller pics on the left side? I am also trying to figure out what those pics are showing. Arrows are pointing at what appears to be the lock parts for the arm assembly. It moves down to unlock so the arm assembly can rotate and move toward back, then lock parts moves back upwards. I've read the text, but still sorta confusing by just looking at those pics. I may have to get this, because that seems the only one way to find out. I remember buying 1/72 YF-19 without any knowledge of M+. I just wanted to figure out how that thing transforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Yea it's pretty nice... they could've used more frames to make the transformation a lil smoother lol or slowed it down. Yea I just hope they don't forget some of the tampos they show us in all of these pics and magazine reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante74 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm a little worried after seeing the sixth pic. If Yamato hasn't arranged for some kind of locking mechanism for the nose cone, I'm pretty sure it'll get loose after a certain number of transformations. I also hope that the wings can hold all the weight of the missiles and boosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 During the intro of the transformation animation , is it me or i finally see a head tilt in a yamato battroid? ZOMG finally the head is on a ball joint! w00ts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robodragon Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) Automatic transformation. That's a nice gimic. Although Mine most likely wont work right out of the box. Edited July 6, 2007 by robodragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger69 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Wanna have the transformation flash file permanently? Here it is... http://rapidshare.com/files/41390683/SV-51...mation.swf.html P.S.: You will need a SWF Opener for this file (Hassle free, don't worry) Link for download http://www.browsertools.net/SWF-Opener/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolf Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 More frames would indeed have benn nice to smooth the animation. Quite a nice bird if you ask me, but I think that the Ivanov paint scheme fall a little bland in the end even if I think it's pretty cool though.

Fly4victory Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 YAMATO SV-51 Transformation Flash Video To have an accurate transformation shouldn't a wing or an arm fall off? Will Yamato break the curse of the first run QC problems? Love the SV-51 and the photos look great but think I will sit this one out until the reviews are in.

Roy's Blues Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 To have an accurate transformation shouldn't a wing or an arm fall off? Nope. They used a different one for each image. They superglued all parts in place. Will Yamato break the curse of the first run QC problems? I hope so. I'm not canceling my preorder. I may be my last though..... Love the SV-51 and the photos look great but think I will sit this one out until the reviews are in. I'm sure there will be many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope that the wings can hold all the weight of the missiles and boosters. Well, it looks like with the stand, the nosecone flopping down shouldn't be an issue. But yeah, I'm kind of worried as well. And the wings, but it looked like in the picture that graham posted that there are pegs that you push around to lock the wings in place at the shoulder, so we'll see.

Beware of Blast Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) If you got Yamatoed by the toy itself before, getting Yamatoed again by weak magnets should be easier to accept; or does it make getting generally Yamatoed alot worse?

Graham Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 The release date is supposed to be 25th July, but this might get pushed back slightly. I'll have more firm news on Friday 20th as I have a meeting with Yamato then. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
