GENERAL INFO
Despite being distributed only in E boxes, the 63B Foamite Crash Tender is an interesting model from a box perspective. It is one of the few models to feature the “target” on the box for E types. The very first box, an E1, has of course the NEW MODEL on end flaps and show the model with a yellow target showing the suspension feature on the model. While the NEW MODEL disappeared, the yellow target changed to white on the second E1 box release. This box was distributed in three distinct top/bottom color scheme as well.
The last E boxes saw the target gone altogether, showcasing the model with a bigger picture, facing left instead right as seen on their predecessors.
All boxes could be found in size 4.
RARITY
The NEW MODEL yellow box is the less common of all boxes for this model, although it is quite easy to find.
