Gold Convention Command Wolf

[Lionel]

Since I don't think a review was done, I make one here.
So it is... a Command Wolf.
Another one, I know. It is one of the first chromies seen, several month before we learn the existence of Leo Shop.
This one was sold at a Taiwan convention, in 2001, and was produced to only 120 units, and was never done again after. Even in Leo Shop catalog, I never saw it. The only one I ever saw is this one.
Only the sprues for the armor and the head, tail and neck were chromed, and if you look clearly, it is not gold, but bronze (it is not an effect of the photo, it is really like that). the colour is a little redish, and has nothing to do with the gold that can be seen on several Leo chromies. I've been told this one has been made by Leo, even if I'm not sure about that : the gold is not the same, and the chroming is perfect, which is not always the case for the Leo chromies. The rest is identical to the NJR Command Wolf, with the same stickers and the same colours. No special box for this one, which makes to beleive it is a non official one (or at least a semi one).
Enjoy.

Very nice Lionel. I like this gold coloured wolf.. it does look more like copper or bronze though but maybe its just me.

Blah.. I don't like those colors at all. The under-armor should be black or something.. This is the first Command Wolf that I actually don't like.. XD

[stormhawk]

KB, perhaps we should make a pink wolf?

[Tilly]

A horrible blinding ow my eyes CW (pink, light green, several blues, and if possible orange or gold) was on my list of projects before Leoshop stopped doing custom runs. Just because.

If it was more yellow than bronze it could be Desert Alcavaledo type.

That's like the first rule of zoid-bling. Makes me want to take my new "burnt iron" metalizer to a poor unsuspecting command woof AC.

I said it once, and I'll say it again. I don't like the chrome Zoids @ all. No military vehicle sould be chrome. I'll never buy a chrome Zoid. So more for the rest of ya'll!

Under-armor should be blue, with white caps, says Snowflake

All sorts of commemerative and show military aircraft come in polished metal finishes, bordering on chrome (especially 1950's era craft). I'm sure they would go all the way if it weren't for visibility regulations on approach and takeoff.

I actually find it extremely difficuly to see them in the air, especially at eye level in lower altitudes above urban areas. If the sun doesn't catch them, they're almost impossible to see. I could picture a shiny redler being a pain to shoot down as it zips in and out of view .

Anyhoo, I like that Command Wolf. It reminds me of Roman era military equipment, so it feels neat and oldskool-y.
