It's not much fan fic or so, but I thought it's might be the last time I'd be able to make a shot like this so I made it.

Welcome to Overlord The Gathering laugh.gif unfortunately 1 member is missing, he is still enroute from Germany tongue.gif




Btw I don't know if others have noticed, but the jetfront seems to come in two colour variations regarding the lower half. One is quite white with a bluish tint to it, whereas the other also is white but has a beige tint... unfortunately I can't capture it on camera since it's a very very slight deviation.

Damn, six Overlords! SureShot, let me know the minute you get your hands on a boxed Overlord, will you?

That I will do happy.gif ...
If the last Overlord manages to arrive within this week I can do one last group shot of 7 Overlords crazy2.gif

Please don't ask me what it has cost me because I know for the price I could have gotten a boxed Overlord, but these have been collected a bit over time, and I've really enjoyed getting some Overlords and repaired them in the best manner I could. Although 2 Overlords primarily been used for spare parts to complete the others sleep.gif ...
I still need to win a MIB Overlord on ebay, so far I've lost the 3 auctions up for one.

Hmmm... no, never had the opportunity to compare with others'... wink2.gif

But that could very well just be the nature and aging of the plastics. My own specimen is pretty minty, and the whites on the tank and jet fronts is a blueish/greyish white, while the white on the back of his arms (which is definitely from the same batch of white) is that beige/orangy color. I would blame it on sun "wear".

Yeah.. I got three mint jet parts and there is that small difference between then... It might be aging but still I'm not sure because there is no sign of wear. Even when you open and take the pieces apart the plastic is all the same. When sunwear is involved its usually very obvious to see and the plastics outer and inside surface differs. The upper "white" parts (I guess it's supposed to be engine extensions as on the SR-71 jet) on the main body in jet mode is white-beige without looking like real sunwear, but its not perfect white and not in the same colour as the front jet-parts underside nor the tank turret.... well I discover minor differences on them all. Fx the orange canopy on the tank is more reddish on one while on the other its orange.

Plastic can change with age; I should have elaborated on that as well instead of just mentioning sun damage. Even if a part hasn't been exposed to direct sunlight, there will be a chemical reaction inside some plastics, especially whites. This means that it's not just on the surface, but the whole structure changes color (and, sadly, also durability in some cases). Toys may be mint, but parts can change color none the less over time.

Hmmm, you have the same color differences with the whites on the jet/turret vs jet body as I do. Could have been a production thing (this is just speculation on my part), where 2 different plastic compunds was used for "white" to make one batch more durable and the one of them just behaving differently because of age. I dunno. But interesting. Thanks for bringing it up! smile.gif

Yup since I have six Overlords atm I've been comparing them a lot, and the white-beige engine extensions are all in the same basic colour when I've taken an arm appart (to rule out sunwear)... so I think they were "born" like this.
I could be that there is even more differences between then european and japanese release of Overlord than mentioned on some sites. There they mention the different tail rudder colours on the two versions etc as well as how the eyes have been painted.
