The HMM division arrived yet??

@coleturner:
Which one's the HMM division? Do you mean the little soldiers pack?
The HMM Blog has some pictures of them up. Looks like they're unpainted. Great for modelers, bad for lazy paint-starved artistes like me.

Ooooh - we've got new organoids coming into the Zoids models scene.

Psycho genosaurer is up for pre-order already.

If Specular and Ambient are both in the kit, this might just wind up being my first HMM Genosaurer.

Oops sorry typo error.. I meant HMM Dibison!

I've never heard of a Psycho Genosaurer.. does it exist in the cartoons?

Don't think HMM Dibison is out locally. Kotobukiya has not shipped them out yet, I think.
Most ZP members only just received their invoice to pay for kit. More time to save is good.

Psycho Genosaurer was in the Guardian Force anime.
With that series, there was 4 Organoids seen - Zeke, Shadow, Ambient and Specula(r?).
This will be the first time the latter two are produced in 1/72 model scale form, I think.
Check out this fan custom of the two. It's a big picture.

Review and images of the mass produced HMM Dibison kit is available.
It's in Japanese though, so I can only enjoy the images.
That's a flimsy looking neck for a Bison:

Also, the D-style Moonbay's Scavenger is up for preorder already from those Japanese sites. So cool that both Fiona and Moonbay will be included.

That means to get Irvine figure, need to purchase his D-style Wolf as well.
I think they'll all have their butt-pegs too.

Finally I was able to get my hands on this variant.
Not new, unfortunately. 2nd hand but at much cheaper price than retail, so I'm happy.
Stop milking us dry, TakaraTomy!



For all Dos Godos owners - does yours walk fine when powered up?
Mine just will not go at all, even at maximum winding.

Hmm the dibison looks nice here..

WTS>my zoids collection

MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy Holidays, everybody!
Which alcohol goes well with Zoids?
I'm planning to cook a Pteramander for dinner.

Not in time for Christmas but can someone buy this for ME as pre-Chinese New Year gift? Thank you!

Tiny pilot that comes with this MSS Zoids are going to be sooooooooo cute. Prepainted too, I think.

not complete at all


Attached thumbnail(s)

Wow! HMM Liger Zero can be supported using just one point? I didn't know that.
What's incomplete about it?

Looks like you did a lot of custom paint job for it too.
How does this build compare to other mid-sized HMM kits?

Looks like the only main zero left to go is Panzer.
Quite a lot of gold on the Schneider. Was it like that out of the box?
What's your opinion on those Kotobukiya kits?
Were the joints nice and tight?

HAPPY NEW YEAR, Zoiders.

This paints maker work ..... Kotobukiya much detail and small part if compared bandai (gundam Kits) .... that quality low compared gundam ..... what ever i love it .... zoid

That looks tiring..

So sad to hear Kotobukiya has still not reached Bandai standards in their material fabrication.

Well, I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday.
Too bad I didn't get to play with many of my Zoids.

Which upcoming lines for 2013 are LYN Zoiders interested in?
Tomytec MMS?
Kotobukiya D-styles?
Kotobukiya HMM?

Share your thoughts-lah.

I still like the hmm zoids. . Joints has improved.. where the heck is dibison already?

well finally done the main components



first experience with zoids. pros and cons la as i see

+ design is nice
+ details are nice too. many panel lines and pistons too (need to be painted)
+ nice gimmick mechanism; foreleg extension wooooo
+ articulation is nice, legs movement, body swivel. very good

- as some mentioned, plastic molding is rather bad. most of the parts have seamlines. pretty bad ones :|
- some parts doesn't snap nicely together. my tiger the lover chest part, where the 2 plastic armor meets in the middle, well, they don't meet nicely in the middle :/
- bad nub points placement. most of the red armor parts especially bigger ones, got nubs at the most obvious part. definitely need better planning haha

other than that, i need to learn how to pose this kitty. i not good at cat's anatomy, like every pose i do seems awkward... hahaha

@limfreelance:
My favourite from the website has to be that "musketeers(?)" tiger. Those tribal tattoos are not easy to paint, I think.
Not all the models there are based on Kotobukiya kits so be careful when trying to copy. For example, Stormsworder has only been released in the motorised version. Hopefully there will be a future HMM version of it.

Thanks for sharing your HMM Sabre Tiger, MyKy44.
I don't know why but I just love how Kotobukiya designed this model.
I really need to get building on my Schublatz kitty.

I recently managed to get MOST components for the Hasbro Holotech version.
Some parts unfortunately have to steal from my incomplete TOMY kit.
At least it has sharp molar teeth but so few of them.
Definitely the HMM has more teeth so it's a better toothpaste model.



Here's a bad attempt at trying to highlight the pointy teeth on the Holotech.
