Phantom 2 design? Your thoughts.

I like it, but like the smooth lines of MK1 a little more.


EDIT I got this from the PL Facebook page.

The old design



had a lot more character and harkened back to

and this

Which always struck me as an oblique homage to



the new design



Just strikes me as more generic and seems skewed more toward the trend to throw skulls on tactical gear to make it "cooler":

Not a fan of the green skull graphic from the top - too harsh and distant from the original - I like the original stylized version that was reminiscent of the phantom comic - just a solid graphic. If they had to change something it should be how they are placing the graphic on the kite and maybe some slightly different line work - but use the same basic "recognizable" graphic.

By the way very nice work indigo_wolf for the reference material collage.

It's upside down too - no?

It is still way better than when Peter Lynn produced the GUERilla with a picture of a GORilla on it.

If this is the final graphics holding off on buying one just got a whole lot easier !
I'm way too old to fly a skull kite ! Are they aiming at the young whipper loopers with this arc to? :dunno:

It hovers between evil and comic while failing at both. Not that I want either.

I sure hope this is just a troll.

lol oh you guys, the phantom is still in the prototype stage. i don't know if you realize that is a photo of Feyds kite in the air....that kite is all black and someone edited it with those graphics on there

Very good news !

I am pretty shocked at how many actually do like it?

i am anxious as well to see what the new graphics are, but i think it'll be awhile
