For those who hadn't heard, the papercraft parachute/tent has to be cut from the instruction manual. 🤨 Yeah, unfortunately I was entirely expecting them to be that boneheaded. At least in this day and age, it's stupidly easy to just scan and upload that to reprint. I expect the page to be scattered across the interwebs in very short order.

For those who hadn't heard, the papercraft parachute/tent has to be cut from the instruction manual. 🤨 Back in the day you used to be able to get onion skin paper which seems like it would be the perfect medium for this tent. We used to soak it in coffee grounds to give the paper a vintage look (then draw maps on them). I'm sure we'll be getting good recommendations soon for best paper to print the tent on.

Thanks for those, So the went back to the original box art stile with this one... The darker orange fits well with the bird, wasn't expecting them to change the tan colour though, But pleased with the bird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogall Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) If we compare it to the Yam/Arcadia the orange was only slightly darker, but the beige was the same colour, so its kind of nice that the changed everything with this. Seems the orange is moore fitting with the movie! @tekering some shoots of the bird with fast packs would be great! but only when you have time! Thanks for the picks so far.... Back of the box too please....🤗 Edited July 19 by grogall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 49 minutes ago, davidwhangchoi said: unbelievable... this one has less tampo on the chest plate Probably because those were TV-specific markings. I don't believe any of the DYRL versions have those rescue markers, since they were only shown in the TV episode where Roy ejected the cockpit. I'm not even sure anything but the VF-1D has those. Definitely liking the colors on this one though, it's a nice contrast to the dull HMR version. So, do the tails pop off so you can replace them with ones spare Angel Birds ones?

Surprisingly enough, the orange is much closer to the Yammie than to Bandai's own HMR... 😶 ...and more consistent in color tone, thankfully enough. ☺️ 15 minutes ago, Chronocidal said: So, do the tails pop off so you can replace them with ones spare Angel Birds ones?

grogall Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Again thanks! you made my weekend!😁 The comparison shot of the three birds together is great! It really shows that they took the time to match the bird to the movie. any chance of a picture of the trays?

WTF? they could have gone all out and at least painted them then! I see a mech guts version in our future, but why not right away!? 🤪. THANKS!!! This makes me want to cry! 😢😭 Bandai could have really done the ultimate edition added another 1000 yen and really made a complete version... Someone at the Bandai is probably laughing at us for not going all the way!? What a way to ruin my weekend! Thanks Bandai.... (Showing the Bird!) 💩 @tekering there seems to be a big seem in the boosters, are the covers removable? Edited July 19 by grogall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketblast Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I have 3 of these coming from Premium Luna Park. Hopefully they ship soon. Would like to acquire one more VF-1D also but damn they are expensive.
