More of this fully transformable awesome valkyrie at GA Graphic. The price is awesome too at 22,890 yen.
Ah, The SV-51 enemy unit in macross zero. I'm waiting for the purple ivanova version before I fork out for one. I just hope it doesn't have any major weak points in the transformation mechanism like the YF-19
What's wrong with the YF-19?
It's hard to explain without pictures but the neck of the plane, just behind the cockpit, is meant to fold back to allow it to transform into Battroid mode. Check this youtube vid at around 50 seconds in for a clearer explaination http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4vH6gA2VBw The problem is that when the guy who did the video looks like he's struggling to do the step at the point, he really IS struggling. The part his held by a piece of plastic molded into the body and there are no buttons to release the part, you have to rely on brute force. Not only does that chip away at the paint, but it's also very easy to apply too much force and break the hinge which holds the part in place... Like what happened to mine... T_T
Whoa...and i was planning to get one too. Guess i'll settle with this SV-51r then, assuming it's not sold out yet. Just saw one at the local toystore in KL for MYR790 (dunno how much that is in USD, but definite much more expensive than what they're offering in HLJ)
Superb! :D I have never seen such a great model. This has to be it! Every boys' dream toy/model.
SV-51 *creams pants* YES! best Jet ever in Macross!! i just wish you could fly it in a game like Ace Combat , be a massive game!
I heard the Nora version is the best version of the SV-51 to come out...
fully transformable yamato's release is damn pricey. mine is hasegawa's plamo. ivanov unit, but I'm gonna piant mine to be the pink nora unit. looks cooler :)
