Macross Zero SV-51 New Nora Type - Preorder

Yamato showed off the Macross Zero SV-51 D.D. Ivanov earlier this summer at the Wonder Festival show and we were enamored with the sleek design and intricate body details. Macross fighters tend to look bulky especially when fitted with Super Pack Parts but the SV-51 was razor-sharp-slim in all three modes - fighter jet, gerwalk, and robot forms. The drab-gray color scheme of the original SV-51 appears dreary but that's D.D. Ivanov for you.

Yamato has started preorders for a SV-51 variant which sports a Nora type color scheme which is a deep purple hue with gold-colored slashes of color on the wings and stabilizers. The toy is set at 1/60 scale and measures 38cm or 14.96" long in jet fighter mode. Similar to the D.D. Ivanov version, the overwing boosters are included as standard accessories. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late January 2008 at JPY22,000 or US$220 from NCS.
