Painted and modded Fourze. Some light panel lining I might come back to later, but I painted the driver handle, all the switches, and the green spots on the forehead & collar (screw those stickers)

I hated how the shoulder pads would sit under the arms if you put them straight upwards, so I fixed them in place with some strips of fabric and double-stick tape

This will probably be my last FRS kit, unless an eventual Blade comes out excellent

Ghost releases on the 23rd so they've revealed his boxart :)

Much like the Fourze kit, looks like almost all the orange bits on Ghost are all stickers

Ghost looks quite good, although I am kind of disappointed that the eyecon is molded into the driver. And as for that, the single piece sticker covering the Driver's internals does not look good. I see they also didn't add the horn to the parka ghost's chin, although at least they did fix the sleeve straps.

Reading this blog two things stand out to me -- first being that he has a fair bit more stickers than I thought; with the driver handle and coat stickers being standouts. The second is that despite that he looks stunning! I really like Ore's design to begin with but I really think this will stand out in any FRS display as one of the best

Wow so there's no orange runner at all huh?

Well it does look impressive for what they had to work with. I'm most impressed with how they managed to do multiple layers without it looking bulky. I thought it was gonna look too thick in Ore form and too skinny in Transient. I really need to see the kit without any stickers, but this does make me more confident about Wizard.

I hope the clear part on the belt can be made more transparent with a little ceramic polish.

No orange runner.

Man Bandai really phoned this one in. Those stickers are horrid, and orange is such a hard colour to paint over black. All my hype for this kit just died.

Could probably paint it silver and put transparent orange over it.
Though it'd make it metallic orange opposed to the suit's normal orange.

At least if the coat bits on the front were cats in orange you could paint the edges black. There's really no reason we couldn't have had the hood trim and jacket folds as orange. Plus that means the belt is a sticker as well.

I feel like Bandai just gave up. If Ghost was a really complicated design with lots of colours I could understand, but they made most of OOO's line details separate parts, why couldn't they at least try with Ghost?
