Packaging & Extras<\/strong>:
Standard Releases (4\/5)
The packaging for Yamato’s ‘Version 2 line of toys evolved through simplification.  Original V2 releases came in boxes that featured collector’s style flip-top lids.  These releases also had a standard format to them with black borders along the top and bottom, white borders on the edges, and a picture of the toy in fighter mode on the cover.  It was later determined that there were some durability issues with these first releases so I generally advise you avoiding them (check the durability section).  Gradually the boxes became a bit more flashy (although the art is just limited to pictures of the toy, nothing like the gorgeous art that decorated old Takatoku toys) and then Yamato removed the collector’s style lid.   So, what extras come packaged with this toy?
1) Painted pilot figure.  The original Yamato Version 1 toys came with legless pilots… no such problems here.  Toys with two seats feature pilot and copilot figures.
2) Gun with collapsible stock and handle
3) 4 sets of TV style missiles (which can be removed from their tree like the 1\/48 TV-style missiles)
4) 4 sets of DYRL? box missiles (which can not be opened like the 1\/48 DYRL missiles)
5) 2 Yamato display stand adapters for use with the DYRL Launch Arm stand (sold separately)
6) 1 attachment for the separated nosecone to be connected like a gun.
7) 1 Set of DYRL style fixed-pose hands or 2 Sets of TV  Style hands
8) Instruction manual <\/p>\n\n\n\n
