Konami SID

Hi all,

I got my box of Konami SF Premium Packs yesterday from
Hobby Link Japan, so now I have 6 toy SIDs!

As I suspected from the photos, the SID just doesn't
seem to me to be as accurate as the rest of the Konami
UFO toys. I think the shape is fine, but perhaps
the paint job is off -- I think the toy is "too white"
in general. Looking at a photo of the "real" SID,
some of the parts of it seem much darker than the
toy. Also, due to the harsh lighting in the series
for the SID scenes, I'm not sure if any toy SID
would look right under normal lighting. Things
like the shiny solar panels in the series are just
a plain, flat blue-gray on the toy.

But don't get me wrong -- it's a nice little model...
just perhaps not as accurate of a paint job
as the others...

Marc

I just got my box of Konami SF Premium Packs from hlj yesterday
and the SID model looks great.

What's next from Konami?
(maybe Ed's car, moon mobile, the alien figure, etc)

Well Konami is one of the leading makers of Video Games most famous for the
Castlevania series. So with them putting out so much from UFO perhaps a
Video Game is in our future.
