Vi-RS Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Ignoring the GBP, will the valk also come with its normal weapons as well? I believe it will come with 2 trays, one with valkyrie and the other one is armors so it should have the standard missiles, gun pod, clips, pilot figurine... Unless yamato comes up with something new with the valkyrie in battroid mode, but very unlikely.
MacrossMan Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Damn...I don't like the bubble hands. Couldn't they have included a set of mechanical hands too? ...sigh... At this point everyone should have extra DYRL hands from their other Valks to get the mechanical hand look. Give it shot and I think you'll be satisfied. I do see your point that a set could have been included, but meh...we don't always get what we want. I believe it will come with 2 trays, one with valkyrie and the other one is armors so it should have the standard missiles, gun pod, clips, pilot figurine... Unless yamato comes up with something new with the valkyrie in battroid mode, but very unlikely. I'd like to see it come suited up already like they did with the v1 set. The extra parts, if any, could be fitted without compromising the shape of the box. TAMPO EVERYTHING!!!
tor-12 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 1) Why nozzle for the nozzle? 2) hands will get longer? p.s. 48 scale of all this, no
MacrossMan Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 1) Why nozzle for the nozzle? 2) hands will get longer? p.s. 48 scale of all this, no Damn. Looking at that picture leads me to believe that the armor is made to specifically attach to the include cartoon hands. Looks like the original hands will have to be removed and that forearm cover piece will go over the "nubs" where the hands normally are. The included hands will then be attached??? Man, that is going to suck in a major way. If this is the case modifying them to work with the DYRL hands might not be too much a challenge, but damn why would Yamato do this?
EXO Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I think its cool they included the DYRL hands... The cartoon hands are readily available... I'm just gonna recast them and drill a hole into them. The DYRL hands will be recasted to fit the other valks... woohoo!!! I want extra sides for my other valks too.
Vostok 7 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 DYRL hands > Cartoon hands. Hopefully they'll do the alternate color releases like the 1/48, otherwise I'm not buyin'. Vostok 7
tor-12 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I think that this is simply the elongation of hands, the brush will remain in the retracted position, will put on top of armor (only?)
MacrossMan Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 more pictures That second picture gives me the impression that the "Parts" are going to be sold by themselves! Box appears to be upright and probably about the same size as current Valk boxes. If we had a side view of the box that would give a better idea. I'm certain this will be released as a set because of the gray visor and plan on getting it, but would like to have a set for the TV version as well. Hopeful...
peter Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Man, I think that looks really good. The 1/48 kinda looked chunky monkey-ish. This one looks right.
Roy Focker Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I think this goes on my stuff to buy after vacation list.

Hopeful... that's not the box, it's a poster talking about the toy. seriously, Graham NEEDS to ask Yamato about the hands. pacifically, Will there be a way to use existing hands with the new armor?
logos Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Hobby search has it up for pre-order now to. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10096195

Yeah. Please request Graham to ask Yamato about this. I definitely prefer the mecha hands. I guess I'll wait till the GBP sells in a separate package. I want to use it with my pre-ordered Roy's LV 1S. Maybe Yamato will release them later in an alternate colour scheme, preferably something stealthy. Maybe Yamato will decide to do a limited Minmay guard scheme too. One can dream.
Vi-RS Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Just pre-ordered mine! USD$155! hahaah Me too, my local toy shop is taking $145 for the preorder. Yeah.

I'm sure we will see separate armor packagagin and color variations next year, but graham we seriously need the mechanical hands in 4 differen poses.

That is cheap! but i think it's cheaper then ordering from japan directly..
Toonz Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 what is the possibility that yamato will release the armors as a set only WITHOUT the valk?
eugimon Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 what is the possibility that yamato will release the armors as a set only WITHOUT the valk? I'd say 100%.
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I preordered mine on HLJ. Like the new like sleek and juuust right
ff95gj Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Have you pre-ordered yet? The separate set would come with the launching missiles:
eyesonme78 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 damn... it makes me wanna get both the sets, with vf-1j and another with the armour only..
m0n5t3r Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) that's pretty cool! lookin' at those pics, the more i don't care about the updated gray head visor outline... still no mechanical fixed-pose hands? EDIT - i'm seeing on Yamato's site that this was put up same time as the weathered 1/48 1J.... so just to make sure, these GBP missile thingys aren't exclusive are they?

Fireworks >> grey visor No mechanical hands though. And in the new pics, it can be seen clearly that the joint on the hand side is female. The launching missiles are "exclusive" for the separate set but not the bundle, if that is what you mean.

No mechanical hands though. And in the new pics, it can be seen clearly that the joint on the hand side is female. sucks... i hope those are super-tight, virgin clown hands... i don't want it to be like my SOC Voltes' hands that can't keep his sword up...

eugimon Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) man, I hate all this web exclusive crap. Not gonna get the it... one, it looks like ass, it looks like foam and not smoke, like it had a chest full of shaving cream cans that exploded. two, I'm boycotting all web exclusives. I hate the practice. Edited August 25, 2009 by eugimon

Toonz Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 i don't really care about this exclusive what ever. i just hope that yamato will still release a regular armor set only.

DarrinG Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 The smoke needs 'weathered' way darker. Think it would look awesome then . . .
eriku Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Heh, i probably would have left those launching rockets in the box anyway. The 'smoke' should have been done in a translucent plastic with a whitish/greyish wash over it.
