Please read through the whole thread....it was also posted above. No tinted canopy, updated shoulder hinges, updated crotch locking mechanism, and option parts (side covers, back of neck cover, and deployed battroid seat).
No. They do not have the rainbow canopy, And they have the updated shoulder hinges. They also have the side covers, and behind the neck cover, and the pilots seat deployed when in battroid mode.
Yes.... Here is a pic of my DYRL Hikaru A, next to the TV Roy. And yes, The DYRL Hikaru S is the same shade as the A. Just different head, and call sign(001 vs 011).
I got my V2 VF-1D 30th anniversary. But I got it myself....so I don't consider it holiday loot. I actually got nothing from my wife for X-mas. And yes...I got her something she wanted. I hate this time of year.
Worse case.... you could buy a 1/100 or a 1/72 Bandai one from Ebay. Those will be easier to get. OR.... I may sell mine.... for the right price. But it won't be cheap.
