Arthurius Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Hi everyone, I just purchased some strike parts, the regular ones. On the box, and the pictures, it shows a navy blue. However, what i got in fact is a greenesh color, and not the blue navy that i see on the picture of the toy of the box. My question is, is this normal? Is there different blue/green colors available for fast packs that are sold seperately. Note: I am not considering the black strikes from the stealth. Please put your experience here with the strike parts. I feel it looks horrible on the vf-1a max. If looks descent on the vf-1s Roy, but it could be better if it was blue navy like the picture shown. Thanks Guys. Edited August 23, 2006 by Arthurius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_e Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 There are not multiple/different colored DYRL FAST/Strike parts. The greenish color is the color Yamato chose. Not sure why they're not a dark blue, in DYRL the FAST/Strike parts are clearly a dark blue. Meh, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthurius Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 In the 1/60 versions, the stike parts are dark blue, and look much better. Anyone know why on the box of 1/48 strike, the color is Navy Blue, yet the actual product is very different from that?? While we are at it, i have the Optimus Prime masterpiece MP-1. On the box, it show the hips as being a nice silver/chrome color, but in reality, the hips are a cheap plastic gray, again, i wander, what is going on.

David Hingtgen Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Box photos are almost always hand-painted prototypes, rather than the real thing. It allows them to get the packaging ready earlier, and makes the product look better---as a hand-painted one usually has more details etc. than a mass-produced one.

I agree that the bluish color looks great, but it would only make sense for it to be in green when that's how the FP's are in the movie .

hirohawa Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yamato chose a very poor color for the Strike packs. The Green clashes horribly with the yellow on the Focker valk. They got the color right on the 1/60 as others have mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensei Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 You shouldn't have to do this, but there is no choice now, but you can paint it fairly easily and cheaply with spray can. Also go over with a matte coat. You really don't lose detail and it looks heaps better in a revised and darker navy blue/indigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
