The included wet decals.
They're pretty big, so it's hard to say exactly where you'd want to put them..

This kit is HG VF-31J Siegfried (Hayate Immelmann Use)and the HG VF-31J Siegfried (Hayate Immelmann Use) Deluxe Set released alongside it. Compared to the standard release, a Freya Wion acrylic stand and bonus wet decals have been added, with the price bumped up ¥2500 over the standard version to ¥7500.

For detailed info on the VF-31J itself, please refer to the standard version review — for this review, you really just need to take a good look at the added acrylic stand and decals. The stand quality is decent enough, but whether it's worth paying an extra ¥2500 is something you'll want to think about. An acrylic stand of this size feels more like a ¥1000–1500 item, so it does feel a bit steep. Sure, the bonus wet decals are included too, but it's hard to say they add a whole lot of value on their own.

So this DX version comes bundled with a heroine acrylic stand of decent quality. The Freya Wion acrylic stand is exclusive to this kit and can't be obtained separately, which is really the main point of interest here. Either way, if you're a Macross Delta fan, this is a limited acrylic stand kit that's at least worth considering once :-)
