GX03 reissue limited HK item

[Gold]

Just saw this pic on Ebay, looks like this will be the extra Hongkong item for the Gx03 Combattler reissue. Not sure if any accessories will come with the toy.

For the curious, here's a photo comparison, the one on the left is the original, the one in the middle is the 2003 reissue and the one on the right is the 2006 version.



The one with the most problems is the 2003 reissue

-The Battle Jet has 2 shades of red for the head and body of the jet



Battle Crasher
-2003 version has a maroonish color and the wings are pale(this is what annoyed me the most)



-2006 version still has a little color variantion in the wings but the red plastic is almost on par with the original 1999 release.




Battle Tank

-maroonish plastic claws.



Battle Marine

-The red plastic parts are the same but the yellow wings colors are pale

Battle Crasher is almost unremarkable, except for the slightly brighter yellow plastic in the 2006 reissue.






Box, they change in the warning label layout. The new 2006 box is the bottom one.






Styro, there are now indentions in tray where Combattler's kneecaps are.


As for the differences in color between the 1999 and the 2006, yep the color is very slightly brighter in the 2006 but the difference is marginal.


Oh, yeah, the blue plastic forearms on the 2006 version has a bit duller finish compared to the original release.

Also of note is that the box Hologram sticker is absent on all release versions and also there's no Tamashii paper insert on any of the releases(old and new)

It's finally out! The Gx03 reissue Combattler V Hongkong item. A clear "candy color" repaint of the old Eternal Force/Super Robots in action Combattler V.


I thought it would never come out, the Gx03 reissue was already released last month.




the figure stands approximately 4 inches tall





I have no idea how the stand is supposed to work on the figure but I tried to make the most of it as an accessory for the Chodenji Yoyo.




Battle Guelleger(or however you spell it..)




Chodenji Spin




There's also a "Big Blast" bomb accessory but I don't think it can fit in any where.



Special thanks to Greattoysonline as usual for reserving me the item.
