Looks like they're trying to match the colors of the VF-0A and doing a bad job at it. But why?
Lets get some facts straight.
- VF-0A is announced. Great news!
- Kawamori states that Shin never flew a VF-0A with his own color scheme but instead flew a normal CF like all the other grunts. Thats not what I saw in the anime, but Kawamori knows best I guess.
- According to the HFH the CF color is grey instead of light brown. Again, thats not what we all saw in the anime, but Kawamori knows best I guess.
- The VF-0A is released and we all love it and forget about the fact that its non cannon.
- The Ghost gets announced. KEWL!!!
- Pics from a hobbyshow show the Ghost as being very light grey instead of dark grey like in the anime. And on top of that there's a Ghost in some weird colorscheme that matches that of a new non cannon 1/48 GBP.
- The Ghost at the hobbyshow is sitting on the back of a grey CF VF-0A with the white stripes we all know to be Shin's, but again, the colors are off.
Conclusion: Everything about the VF-0A turned out to be non cannon because none of the toys that are released by Yamato are ever shown in the anime.
One more question; WHY!!!!11
