"Wu" is indeed a custom jellyfish made up of parts from various clear zoids.
One of the more impressive custom I've seen so far in terms of its execution and presentation.

And thanks to info from our friends at ZP, looks like Raven and Shadow will soon be joining the HMM group.

It's all speculations at the moment regarding the HMM Raven Genosaurer.
No details regarding the final production model.
Actually I have not read anything new about the HMM Shadowfox as well.
Still, can have fun with Jamie's Pteras and the Schneider.

Helo there, maharajakecil.

Unfortunately Zoids are no longer sold in the departmental stores.
Best place to buy Zoids for now is online - ebay, mudah, etc.

*Correction* Only Kotobukiya HMM Zoids are a bit easier to find at the moment. Motorised ones - not so many anymore.

Any special reason why you like Soul Tiger?

@maharajakecil:
You have a Genesis Command Wolf LC?
That one is pretty rare, I think. Congratulations!
Let us know how you get along with your shopping.

Yamato die-cast Shield Liger in DCSJ colours?
Oh yes - I think it's very, very nice.
Nice price too but worth it, I think, from the online reviews I've read.

@ahtiven:
I forgot you had Soul Tiger for sale! Hopefully it will inspire maharajakecil to get more. You need the room, right?
So mana satu mau pergi: kolok mee @ Taman Bahagia or kueh chap @ SS2, PJ?

So far haven't had any news on Zoids other than Kotobukiya's.
Any rumours on the other forums?

Sorry to disappoint y'all, people - SD Van and Prozen are unpainted figures, like those figures that came with the NJR Zoids.
I just hope their figures will NOT be as small as the TOMYs and HMMs otherwise it's "cross-eyed city" to paint them.

Any way to confirm if XL are bringing in the SD Zoids that come with the special Helic and Guylos stand?
Here's a sample I found:


On a side note - assuming it was translated correctly, HMM Godos will be released soon.

@GirlsBoy911:
Very nice build of your HMMs, sir.
Fire Liger is a real Hot Rod of a Zoid. Thanks for sharing and brightening up this forum.

Those display stands are only available for orders from Kotobukiya direct, according to the ZP crowd. That's why I was wondering if XL was buying those SD Zoids directly from Kotobukiya Japan. Slim chance of it being so, I guess.

I'm glad HMM Godos is reawakening interest in the old Malaysian Zoids vanguard. Can't say I'm super excited about the Ramar and Bang HMM Shield Liger though.

Anybody got to play with their HMM Pteras and the free downloadable box-art wallpaper? Could you please put a motorised Pteras next to it when taking the photo? I feel the urge to caption some Zoids pictures.

@cryonic:
I haven't read about Deathpion's rubber hoses melting the surrounding plastic but I remember reading the hoses on Iron Kong Mk-II Limited had some effect like that.
One of the reasons that TDP went with coilsprings for the Shield Liger remake, I guess.

@orestes:
Re-release of 1st Kotobukiya Command Wolf or is this the second re-release? I wonder why they didn't mould it in Mk-II colour.

Regarding HMM Shield Liger Mk-II plastic damage from the ammo belt, I think Spartan of ZP mentioned that since he matt-coated the piece (Tamiya clear?), he did not have the problem...yet.

Welcome to all unlurkers to Zoids land. Thanks for livening up this pages.
Hope you will have fun playing with the Kotobukiya Zoids. How come no one seems to want to play with Yamato Liger?

@madmoz:
Full colour list of Kotobukiya Zoids released and pending can be found at their website:
http://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/kotobukiya/title_zoids.shtml

I don't know why the up-for-preorder SD Deathsaurer is not on the list yet. XL Shop and Time Machine will probably bring them in but I don't know if the "free gifts" will be available through them (e.g. HMM Liger Schneider A4 Envelope wallet).

Has anyone found out anything further about the announced HMM Shadowfox?

Doc Liem posted on ZP in Feb this year about impending HMM Shadowfox release.
Here's the link: http://www.zoidspoison.com/zoidstalk/tm.asp?m=77940

However, until now, no pictures of the product. That's why I was hoping anyone frequenting other forums would have seen or read more about this beast.
It would be nice if it came with Koto-fied HMM weapons of those shown on the NJR TakaraTomy box.


@NoobOne:
What's msg2u? Is this a shop for Zoids too?

I love it that Zoids Genesis is on national t.v.
Ruuji sounds so much older in his BM voice compared to his Japanese counterpart.

@akubudu:
Do you collect the toys as well or keeping your interest to the anime only? Which of the other Zoids animes have you watched?

Sir Ahtiven.
How did you know I've got my Doctor title already? You psychic, dude?

Since I don't really collect Kotobukiya Zoids, I'm afraid I can't contribute to the HMM treasure list.
But those below are what I had the fortune to restore recently - tracking down their missing parts wasn't much fun and yeah, still had to do some repair work on Gojulas' tail piece.

On a side note, Ultrasaurus is the next D-style to be released. I hope it comes with a chibi Dr. Dee and a possibility of a Gravity Cannon CP. Note: The add-ons are not confirmed, just my little wishlist.


If anyone is interested still, the Zoids Concept Book No.2 is also out already. Can we go to your house to play Paint-by-Numbers with your copy of the book, please?


For Kotobukiya HMM Zoids, the latest news so far is the goldish Ramar Shield Liger and Godos.





Is that enough fun for one day?
Oh, if anyone knows anything about new releases of motorised Zoidos, please, please let us know. Dark Dimetrodon was the only recent release, if I recall correctly.

P.S. If the links or pics don't work, could you PM me, please? I'm just using whatever this forum is giving so no need to shout my mistakes to the world, eh? Okay?

P.P.S. Selamat Berpuasa to all my Muslim friends. Can we play Zoids at your house this Raya?

Looks like Sir Ahtiven's got his Rebirth Gilvader and King Gojulas. Congratulations, dude.

Dang it! I wanted to get that cheap set so that I can Guylos Dark them.

Er...you better not let Lionel know that you saw a Red Zoids Tank.
There are too many legends for him to acquire already.

Anyone's got a Bigasaurus/Giant Zrk to spare?

I don't think the name "Ramar" appears in any of the Zoids anime.
As far as I can tell, the goldish Shield Liger was part of the Japanese band's promotion item. Kinda like the Linkin Park exclusive Gundam, I guess.

@ToMatoK_eju:
Haven't seen any Tiga Godos for sale locally in a long, long while.
Best bet for getting the TS motor is probably through the TS Barigator. Should still be fairly cheap and plentiful on Yahoo! Japan. There's still the shipping to consider, though and I'm not sure if the motor's "legs" are the same on both models.

Can anyone help with the comparison between the various TS motors released thus far?

@Ahtiven:
I forgot about the ending credits in the anime. I can't remember which series "Wildflowers" featured in though. Looks like another Search session for me.

As for MIB Bloody DS - would RM250 be too unreasonable?
I wish I could spend more on Zoids nowadays but there's impending house renovation to think about.
When are you completing Valga so that I can get it off of you at built price?

Aiks - touched a raw nerve with Sir Ahtiven regarding Bloody DS.
Sorry, sorry ah. I always thought that there was multiple releases for that particular model.

I do hope all TOMYTAKARA and KOTOBUKIYA Zoids collectors will show up more here. I know someone bought the Schwartz Sabre from Jusco so no need to lurklah.

@ahtiven: Every Zoids head is welcome to the house in S'wak, as long as you bring Zoids to play with. Really need to renovate with a basement just for my Zoids Vault.

I'm glad to hear that HMM Zoids are getting better in material quality and build.
Although I don't collect all that are released, I hope that by the time the rumoured HMM Gojulas is released next year, the build will be more snap-fit friendly.

Can someone give a rough translation of the following site, please? I really, really want to know more about this HMM Mugen Liger.

http://blog.goo.ne.jp/links-lynx

From the rough Google Translate, I think it's the HMM Liger Zero customised to look like Mugen Liger. However, I don't know if it's using the Genesis motorised Mugen parts or custom fabricated and painted. That's why I need help in translating the webpage.

@Ayam-man:
The gold plated parts are a Hobby Club exclusive.
You can check out http://www.gundammodelkits.com/d-style-bla...-by-dalong.html for more pictures of the Limited Edition box.


@Jetpeh:
I hope some members with Hayate Liger can help. I would really like a copy of the manual as well.

@Cole:
HMM Gojulas is supposed to be released some time next year, 2012. Looks like you'll need a bigger diorama set soon.

@ahtiven:
You gotta be kidding me - all official versions of Deathsaurer is in your Zoids box now? Salute, salute.

Gotta check out the D-style Liger in person soon. I hope XL brought in more than just three.
