As with the Elite, this is not definitive until it's actually in HAND. But these are directly from Mattel documentation, NOT insider heresay or dealer
speculation. I physically have the document in hand and it chronicles the differences in ALL the 1:18 models including:
Flocked comic-con version, mass market version, Elite, Super Elite. I have made note of some interesting inclusions based on this comparison chart.
- There is NO mention of lights/sound or any electronic features of any kind.
- Closed box with opening lid (as opposed to a window box)
- There is NO change listed for the body material (so probably still plastic bottom)
- Formed aluminum display base
- Black bat buckles
- Metal exhaust "big ring" (i am guessing this is the 'c' channel collar)
- Metal exhaust "ring" (outer trim ring?)
- Metal parachute cable
- Metal siren lighting cover
- Metal speaker grilles
- Metal Door sill plates
- Metal rear antenna
- Metal window frames
- Metal door handles
- Painted red rockets in tubes
- PE enine plates in jet engine
- Braided steel fuel lines
- Red and blue hose fittings
- A pair of SU softgoods parachutes
- Painted batlever on dash*
- Added painted buttons on dash*
- Painted PVC seats*
These last three items were NOT on the Elite's list of features either as painted or unpainted, bringing up the speculative questions - were they stuck
on there last minute because they're now using common dash parts? And are these "PVC" seats a new softer ddition or just the same as the
removable ones on the Elite?
- Hsg for top red siren?
I don't know what this item indicates. If anyone else wants to take a crack at what Hsg means - let me know. Handsignal? Hysterosalpingogram? Henry
Strongin Goldberg? I don't know if it's a type of light or what.
No chrome listed but neither is it listed on the other models so there could still be more coming as well.
