They dose swing half way down this time, they are metal and it has a peg to lock to the bottom of fuelsage, much much better then 25.
Both 29 and 27 on comprasion pic are sligntly mis-transformed(didn't know until I put it on the display stand), I forgot the pull out the crotch to shorten the over height of both, but I think the height difference remain the same even I have do so...
I was meant to say the logo on the display stand, but for overall paint job, I feel it will stick better than the previous DX because the plastic are less glossy on the 29, but I also handle it alot more carefully this time because of the bad experience from the 25s(I still like the testure on the v2 VF-1 more, Yamato is still the king of Macross toy),
The shoulder connector area are make of metal and it will still be easily scratched... pay attention when you handle it.
