Masterverse Vintage Collection Stratos

Solid figure for a basic Stratos. It's main feature being it comes with both colour variants of his wings/harness so you can choose your fave.

Not sure why the chest has cel-shading-like paint. And the beard isn't well painted.

@Carnivius Mine arrived just now too! Interesting to see the variation of paint application - mine just has a darker grey wash which works quite well. Also looks like yours has a blue beard!

I've seen a couple of commenters wonder whether there were blue beard variants out there - I guess as a nod to a rare variant in the original 1980s line. Although my one does seem to have a bit of blue in the beard, it is much greyer than yours. So might just be normal factory variation?

@Carnivius I've been trying to work out whether the helmet has eye lenses like Zodac or whether it's simply a very shiny black paint. 🤔
@mediocre_mik looks like paint to me.

@Carnivius Yeah, an early promo piece on (I think) Toy Habits described it as having lenses but I agree, I don't think it does.

Bit disappointed about that. I need to learn to take such early pieces with a pinch of salt!

@mediocre_mik early promo piece said VC Faker's die-cast recorder was removable but it ain't. :P

Early promo PICS showed Slush Head's dome to be removable from the armor and able to attach to the pod thingy but it's glued on. I had to remove it myself. :P

@Carnivius Exactly!

The Slush Head one is a great example as the pics were by Mattel themselves, weren't they?
