Neinhart hair and armor

Why does Neinhart have purple hair? My god, he really is a bit of a trap for me now xD

I'm digging the look of the Spriggans overall too, Larcade has blonde hair eh? I would've liked to see him have more whitey-grey hair like Invel, but oh well.

Neinhart hair and armor

Finally our all questions have been answered. Things that are surprising enough are Neinhart's hair and armor color and DiMaria's new outfit. I all the time have been thinking his hair is blonde and his armor is metallic gray, and her new outfit is brownish. Well, thanks to all tumblr artists lol. @MLG Bradman is so badass. Zeref's new outfit is not bad either.

 

[Demon Hunter]

Fodder 12, ASSEMBLE!!!!!
Neinhart looks like trash as expected.

Spoiler

Irene, DiMaria, Wall and Bloodman are the best.

 

[Arjuna]

Larcade's hair colour is like Mavis's.Is this any hint.?Irene and Bloodman looks awesome.And finally gotnto know about Goddy's hair colour.

 

[ohthedreyar]

Nineheart... I was expecting blonde hair with gold and red on his clothing. BUT.....


Everybody else looks great except for him.

Neinhart hair and armor

That's my squad idgaf what anyone says . Hiro has answered my prayer for a full colored S12

Neinhart looks fruity but that's to be expected

Bradman looks beastly.

I really like God Serena's orange hair and colored attire.

Wahl, Jacob, and Ajeel look pretty darn good.

I'm so glad Brandish and Invel's color scheme were tweaked they look a lot better. I mean Invel's dark grey hair and Brandish darker colored clothes really make them look 10x more awesome

DiMaria's outfit looks clean af.

Larcade looks badass

August and Irene nuff said.

Zeref looks like a boss.

Damn, Bradman looks incredible, that colour scheme...

I've got to admit Bradman's "skin" (not sure what else to call it) being red is somewhat of a surprise, not that I'm complaining, he's got the best design IMO.

What happened Neinhart? Blue hair and green armour? Really? I was expecting blonde hair and pink armour...

I'm loving Jacob's design, it's simple yet effective. The same goes to Wahl. Larcade looks pretty cool.

The only disappointment among the S12 designs is Neinhart IMO, mainly due to the colour scheme. I also prefer August's black battle mode to his canon red one.

Going a bit off-topic, the Bradman love here is fantastic, keep it up...

OH MY!! This is exactly what I've imagined God Serena's color will be, I mean EXACTLY. Not just the hair but the whole thing! Even other people say that his hair color would be blonde like Laxus and even I saw multiple colored pictures of him online that were fan made. None of those literally pleased me about his hair color. I guess 'cause it's really cliche for fairy tail characters to have blonde and brown hair colors that's why I did not imagine him that way, and I think orange fits his hair color because of his jolly personality. Heck, even his collar is the same way as how I imagined it's supposed to be, which is maroon.

Best cover ever
My darling looks handsome as always

 

[Talenel]

Great job picking that wardrobe Invel...Zeref looks amazing. He is easilly rocking the collest look as befitting the leader. Gold medal for you Black Mage.

Second place goes to Larcade! My boy looks fabulous. He has to be Mavis's son.

The bronze goes to...... God Serena. His color scheme is exactly as I thought it would be and it is perfect!

Wahl, Invel, Bradley, Dimaria and August have designs that are great but not as spectacular as the above 3.
August was just blatantly redesigned by Hiro for whatever reason. Why his hair would have changed otherwise is beyond me.
Based on his look vs Jellal August isprobably the best of that bunch.
Invel and Wahl tied for 2nd.
Dimaria the worst for the too bright colors. Gray, black or brown/orange would have worked much much better than blue.

Statham looks terrible as ever.

Ajeel seems.... Poorly drawn. Espesially his hair. Which is odd since everyone else is on model.

Im over Irene... She looks like Erza so of course she is gorgeous but the newness has worn off. Now, her outfit is too skimpy while also having too much going on. Meh


Neinhart.... You piece of shit.
Not only are you the weakest combatant of the group by far but you have to ruin the line up by having purple hair and wearing lime green armor? WTF!? What a disgrace to the Spriggan name.
Does Hiro not want him to have fans or what?

 

[Brandish μ]

This is my first time seeing this cover. Wow, that was really done well Mashima.

Zeref - You look good man, but get out of the road
Wall - crazy
God Serena - what are you pointing at haha
DiMaria - Jeezuss... she looks like she's being groped though
Bloodman - Quite possibly the most badass looking design
Brandish -
Neinhart - Everyone summed it up so far. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse...

HD versions of Volume 58 @DiMaria Yesta

Spoiler: Vol58

Everyone's eyes except DiMaria, Brandish, Invel, August, Bloodman's look black so it's might be something we won't exactly know until the anime to see if their eye color is any different. Bloodman really has the best color scheme lowkey, reminds me of Astaroth from Soul Calibur

Spoiler: Vol58 special

It's gonna be Natsu vs. Mavis and a flashback of something from Zero. Idk what the dancing theme is on here for but it's still a good look, I see you Natsu lol.

I'm really curious what those mean since apparently these afterwords usually contain interesting information.

 

[~Charging Lightning~]

Just when you thought Fodderheart couldn't have been anymore of a clown... There's no way that's his natural hair color . Just imagine how he got that hair in the first place.

Barber: What you want today fam?
Neinheart: Trunks from Dbz has been my idol for the longest time
Barber: Say no more
I swear Hiro purposely wants us to make fun of this guy more than Jet and Droy

your greatest sin is putting characters of DB and FT together


but yeah, Neintrash is more of a trash than before. now we all need to hear his voice in the anime to complete his trashness.

 

[Static]

I bet it'll be something similar to Sugarboy's

Quick translation of Volume 58's afterword by @Linali!​

The first paragraph is about the Fairy Tail Exhibition Mashima-sensei held in September
In second part: Mashima-sensei came there himself in disguise, to hear people's comments, but he was recognized so he had to draw sketches for fans - Gajeel and Levy and even Ichiya. Also the corner, where the goods were sold, was very crowded, so Mashima-sensei apologized fans, if it was unpleasant for them. And he wants to prepare Exhibition once more in the future, maybe in some other, new form

Spoiler: Harvest Festival Cover

I guess the OVA will be about Natsu spending time with his sister-in-law (not just a small fight in the guild spa) and they might get roped into a dancing event of some kind.

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 15, 2016, Original Post Date: Nov 13, 2016 ---

I predict that the cover of next volume will feature Makarov, Erza, Natsu, Gray, and maybe Larcade. The main point of interest will be Makarov and his Fairy Law.
