I've been tweaking my digital camera over the last week and have come up with pictures that are of similar appearance and quality to those used by manufacturers such as Dragon Armor. My test vehicle was the Forces of Valor Dragon Wagon which is shown below. This particular version is the one sold at Target and not weathered. Today I saw a weathered version at a local hobby shop and must say the added weathering does look better.

Hi LegioLXXll,

I have the weathered version, and for once I have to say that, going from the great pic which you have posted, I would rather have the pristine, unweathered item which you have posted, and weather it myself.

I'm going to post a run-down on what I saw, bought and considered in the " FOV New stuff thread."

Usually the weathered models are from their Enthusiasts series designed for serious collectors and only sold in hobby shops or online shops of the same type. The un-weathered version is what you usually find at TRU or Wally World and made for the casual collector and sold at a lower price. There could also be a few little extras with the Enthusiasts series.

I don't think there are any extra with the Dragon Wagon available weathered, at least it didn't look that way with the weathered version I found at my local Hobby Land. I like the weathering better, but if it's as random as MoMo says I think I'll do it myself.

However it does appear that the UH60 sold weathered at hobby shops includes door guns and opened doors where as the UH60 sold unweathered at Target and Toys R Us does not have these door guns and the doors are closed. The UH60 doesn't really have alot of weathering either way so this is what they did to make one a little better than the other.
