people will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only difference in terms of accessories is that the toy colored version comes with a third gun, and a second head.

Otherwise, the black and white version is the only one with opaque windows in shuttle mode.

 

If anyone in Europe has the second from the left available I'm interested in that one.

 

ms-18 has 3 heads with different sculpt, extra 3rd grey gun, slightly different sculpt on shoulder and thigh and different med grey colour with purple. ms-20 and ms-20b are the identical mold/accessories and only change is colour scheme - purple/dark grey and black/off white.

best visuals to summarize were posted by @Meekutron earlier on in the thread…

Has anybody seen MS-18 up for sale in NA yet? Seems like it’s taking a while to make its way over.

 

I ordered from hzj on ebay and it came in 2 weeks.

 

I did too, 10 days actually. But @Pessimus Prime was asking about in NA, maybe he/she doesn't want to import from overseas.

 

@Jadis @OCProwl Thanks you guys, I do indeed prefer to order NA for now, I've not had good luck recently with overseas stuff. I kind of prefer the certainty of knowing that something is already here. But since it doesn't seem forthcoming here in the States, I'm thinking of going ahead and doing China. Toy Dojo told me they had a shipment on the way but that was a while back and they haven't listed it yet and in true entitled fansboy fashion i'm getting tired of waiting. 

 

Well, they have to wait for stuff to arrive from China slow boat style too, just like everyone else.  

 

i will also take that head on the right please. i would also like to jump 2 spots ahead of both @Autobrat Leader and @FredVIII  

 

I messaged hzj to ask if it's possible to get extra extra heads. Will keep you posted!

 

Way to go, @OCProwl -- that's a great idea!  

 

There.. a couple of little painted stickers to experiment.. yellow on the helmet, yellow windows in train mode, some blue windows in shuttle mode. I might highlight the wheels in silver in train mode, but that’s a bit more risky so I’ll wait on it.

 

sorry, i just had to ask to clarify. are you cutting and putting post it notes on your figure???  

 

i thought he was just slicing up little custom decals to size.

 

Hehe, close, I was cutting and acrylic painting over some AirMail stickers, since they have a waxy top that is durable, and stick well but are still removeable without leaving glue if need be. Post its aren't very sticky and would disintegrate if I need to catch an edge to peel them off and repo them.

 

fooled me. they look exactly the colours of the pads i currently have on desk.  

 

during next couple of days i will order from hzj401 MS-18, hoping triple head option will be supplied (i will ask for).
A question: in shuttle alt mode, there is a hole to put figure on a stand?

 

No, he comes with an extra piece that provides a hole for a flight stand.

 

you dont have to ask. i think he just ships with 3 heads in general for all the other molds.
