    I'm guessing T stands for "Toon"?

    Here’s hoping there’s no paint chipping on him.

    @dalianjj I noticed there are no photos of 29T with the IDW parts, swords, and Targetmaster. Will they still be included?

    Are you fucking kidding me? Why didn't it have this paint job to begin with?! Oh right, because XTB is touting a new version of Eligos and FT likes to spoil their party. Oh and because 3P companies like to rinse their customers. At least XTB waited years instead of months.

    Im barely noticing any difference. Just the white on the original is pinkish? And more light is shown on this 't' version over the original lol

    That's exactly it. Movie Cyclonus has a pink tint to this limbs and face, which XTB sort of has, but FT didn't. They've obviously changed the main colours as well, but it's hard to say what it will look like in person as Quietus usually looks totally different in pictures than in person. For example, in hand my first issue looks closer in colour to the toon version. He tends to photograph darker than he is, so the toon could conceivably be very light.

    I'm getting pretty sick of this stuff though. Just say what you plan to announce and let people choose instead of sneaking out a repaint six months after the initial run in the colours it should have been to begin with :mad:

    Mostly the jet mode. Thrusters are now purple instead of white and they added the white section to the nose of plane.

    I hate rewarding this behaviour, but these are the colours I always wanted! I hope XTB releases pics of its Eligos repaint soon so I can compare.

    Since the shot with Sovereign shows three major scratches on his chest it seems they don't even care enough to make people except a fix :redface2: 

    Third picture has a scratch too.

    Thats it, XTB have been criticised for putting out re-issues with improvements but generally they are a few years later and with improved engineering.

    this is a straight up ( brilliant looking ) repaint to how ( in my opinion ) he should have looked all along and only a few months later. That's a piss take.

    I hope this means if their Sheridan/not Warpath is released in that awful bright brick red, it too will have a repaint in the proper color.

    Since this has a suffix 'T', I take it that it is a one-time "limited" release?

    It looks like a trend to squeeze in a small batch of special color into a regular run.
