Are They Both Destined For Greatness?
The comparison begins! I have attempted in all of my comparison shots to keep Bandai on the RIGHT side of you screen. So unless you live in some sort of alternate reality where everything is mirrored, you should always be able to tell which is the true Destiny... of coarse, were you to exist in the other dimension where everything is mirrored, right would be left and left would be right, so it would still be on YOUR right but MY left... I'm dizzy...
ON WITH THE PICTURES!
TT on the left, Bandai on the right
The TT part is already a bit warped and the runner for Bandai is quite a bit darker.
Edges are sharper on the Bandai (right)
From a distance, the runners look nearly identical
TT has gotten rid of Bandai's runner labels and replaced them with their own. The letter indicator for the runner is now mold on rather than cut out and the TT Logo replaces the name of the model. Not to self: Never have more than one set of runners out at a time when working on TT Hongli kits... I would never get them back in their respective boxes.
The time stamp indicating date of production and Bandai's info is clearly marked on the back of their runners. TT has left the back of their tags blank.
The difference is all in the details. I'll leave these two pictures to illustrate.
Again, TT on the left, Bandai on the right.
The silver is different for sure.
TT's is more like a frosty silver with a bit of texture, similar to the HGUC Extra Finish kits if you've ever gotten one. Bandai's is smooth chrome, though it is slightly (ever so) gold in color and not purely silver.
Frosty silver can't shine a light on Bandai's chrome!
My left eye is fine, but my right eye... IT BURNS IN THE BRIGHT LUMINESCENCE!
Blurry picture.
I think I like TT's take on the beam saber blades a little better;
they are more pink and less orange than Bandai's.
Both of them are still glittery though... What were they thinking?
The clear parts on the TT aren't NEARLY as bad as the TT MG Hi-Nu! They are actually pretty good.
More on that when we get to the extras, later on.
All the parts snipped and trimmed!
We begin with the individual parts next!
Until Next Time: Happy Building!
