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.

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. Quote

Thanks for those, So the went back to the original box art stile with this one...

grogall Posted July 19, 2024 Posted July 19, 2024 (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....๐ค Edited July 19, 2024 by grogall Quote

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? Quote
