@ahtiven:
Seems to be a Soul Tiger-based kit.
But why are the legs so skinny and where is the light-pack kutu kucing?

What video was that screenshot from?
I really want to take a closer look at that Soul Tiger.

It's funny how there's still no news about the TomyTec Zoids.
Kotobukiya has preview information for kits 6 months before release.
I wonder why the new line is being kept so secret? I just hope they're not going to be released all in one go. That's too much temptation to spend big.

RM400++ for HMM DiBison?! Does that price include the HMM military figures to, do you think?

Bro Ed having problems with display now. Hopefully he'll open his museum soon.

@ahtiven:
Hey - don't start rumours like that! You're making the wait so much worse.

There's this extra advertisement on Kotobukiya's DiBison's page.
They're releasing three extra figures but I'm not sure how to get them. Something to do with ordering direct from Kotobukiya for a certain amount, I guess.

I really don't know why DiBison is being sold so expensive.
I mean, HMM Berserk Fuhrer is less than Yen 9500. Plastic pellet prices gone up so much in Japan kah?

What mathematics is this? BF "greater than" Dibison "equals" D?
Oh, what has this world come to?

I think I saw a pack of MSG figures for their chain bases. I can't remember which shop though.
They were unpainted grey plastic so the possibility is high that these Kotobukiya specials may not be pre-painted too.
Someone buy some and prove me wrong, please! Maybe they're articulated figures?

About that Robot suit thing - I believe it's based on the OJR Tomy terrestrial fighters from the Diorama Sets.
Tanlin from ZP was kind enough to share a scan of the DZ-05 manual. It would be nice if Kotobukiya came out with rest of them.

D-style BDS I have not seen in the shops here. XL not bringing them in?

It's good to know that D-style Irvine's wolfie will have its first run in 2013. More time to save up on my 50 sen.

Bro Ed! Good to see you resurfaced again. What level character are you on Diablo III?

@Cole: I'm not 100% sure if the figures I saw were specifically FOR the Koto chain bases.
They were sold separately and on sprues - about 6 per plastic pack, I think.
All I remember was that there were 2 sizes - 1/144 and 1/100? Which probably means Bandai then. Hmmmm. They were in one of those shops at Berjaya Times Square.

@Ahtiven: How come you don't sticker your Zoids? So like Ed one.
Stickerlah so that my unstickered ones I can charge higher later!

Okay, time for a general warning - to all who are hoarding Zoids for "resale", please know that 2013 Zoids TOYS are coming back! Reissues are likely possibility so start selling your stocks now!

Early days yet for the TOMYTEC Zoids.
It doesn't look good at the moment but I'm hoping for Gravide Valga Mk-II, at least
Please, please, please continue the Rebirth line, producers. Some more TS motors would be awesome too.

On a side note - for those who've got Zoids ArtStatues in storage - better take them out for a look see. I had fungal mold starting to grow on mine.
Those white spots on Saicurtis' and Wild Liger's pole? Those are NOT splattered paint drops. Hopefully keeping them displayed and aired will stop the regrowth.

@Edmaestro:
Hey bro. You know plastics better than anyone here, I believe. Can you tell us why HMM Dibison will cost so much more than the HMM Berserk Fuhrer?
There's even a Hong Kong evilBayer preselling it for RM700++. Insane!
I could be wrong but I never read about it shiping with metal horns and hoofs.

Yay!
Sudah 55 tahun Malaya Merdeka; semangat Zoids tetap membara dihati ku ini.
(Eh - betul ke? "dihati" ataupun "di hati"? "Semangat" ataupun "Keghairahan"? Terlupa pula. Boleh tolong tak?).

HMM Berserk Fuhrer should be shipping out soon to all those who preordered them.

I think I've seen a box or two of the Kotobukiya HMM Liger Zero Jager around Berjaya Times Square. Could be at that toy shop in Low Yat Plaza also, I think.

Anyway - for some pictures of the box contents, you can check out
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10164356

I don't have any side-by-side images but I think Saix is a little bit smaller and thinner than Jager. What to do, all those blades mah.

OT: Is it worth it to go MATTA fair at PWTC? Fares there better than onlinekah?

So sorry to say, Zoids never had any official movies.
Only had the cartoon series from the 90s and 20s:

1. Zoids Chaotic Century
2. Zoids Guardian Force
3. Zoids Century Zero
4. Zoids Fuzors
5. Zoids Genesis

Those should be it, I think.

If anyone has Genesis in English spoken-language, please PM me.
I want to hear Rei Mii and Kotona's English-speaking voices.

For the Zoids anime series, I know that 1-4 were dubbed with English voice-actors. The only Genesis I found was Japanese voice and English subtitles.

From what I have read online, I think that there are some differences or unedited scenes in the original Japanese voice series.
I have not seen them so if anyone finds them, let me know, okay?

Is there a reason that you want to have a Zoids name? Are you building a cosplay costume? Please, do share with us!

For the anime series, I don't think Liger Zero (LZ) was around during Van time.
First time I noticed LZ was in New Century Zero and then in Fuzors.
It's been a long time since I watched the series though, so could be wrong but I am sure it never appeared in Zoids Genesis.

If you're talking about Zoids in the Japanese printed Comics and other media, well, I've never seen or read those. Anyone willing to rent them to me for a month or so?

Bang? Van?
Either way - great looking Blade Liger there, limfreelance.
Was Zeke already fully coloured out-of-the-box or did you have to paint it?

You know what BT, STK and all could do to get more people to purchase the kits?
Special add-ons like that War canopy of the BT Shield Liger.
Simplest one is, of course, funky recolours! If they started going clear/holotech on these HMM bootlegs, I would be forced to add more wall shelves in my room!

Nothing much new on the Kotobukiya front. DiBison and then Shadow Fox should be out soon, I think.

Latest grabs all the way from Hasbro, U.S.A.
I think it's about four years now since I've been wanting to play with these babies.
And yeah - it is for PLAY, not DISplay!.

I'm a real sucker for those clear plastic pieces. Disco Gale, why so expensive?

@Edmaestro:
Whatlah...laughing at my budak kecil toys, is it? What to do - I don't really like to play Ferrari.

And for those who LOVE their Zoids, here's some painted shots of the upcoming 1/144 scale MSS Zoids from TomyTec. You gotta love that price. (Thanks to ZP for the info)



Tomytec Shield Liger

Tomytec Hammerrock

What? Me - sarcastic?
Nolah. Sarawakian.

From other pics in the following links, looks like there will be pilots but at 1/144 scale, that's tinier than Evodrives, yes?

http://mecha-guy.blogspot.com/2012/10/tomytec-zoids-mss-mz002-emz-26-hammer.html

Uh huh, yeah.
Keep on bopping and rocking that Zoids beat.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2013!

I'm still keeping a healthy dose of optimism for the MSS line. I do hope that, in the end, the quality and gimmicks/add-ons will be worth its asking price.
As of this moment, I really don't know if the images we've seen are of the final product or painted prototypes, as some on ZP have speculated.

It will be great if they showed up at Jusco and Metrojaya though. Those store sells TOMICA/TOMYTEC stuff, don't they? Mmmm - Members Day discounts.

@cryonic:
Great grabs!
Ya. You have too many 24-scale Republic pilots. You're Deathpion pilot sure get ganged up on. Good thing Wave Dontress will have a giant to help out there.

About the "Made in Japan", I think it's found only on one of the sprue corners?
I don't believe the 80s 1/24 scale were Singapore or Thailand produced yet.


@KPG123: Leena Sniper does look sad without all the guns. Take the ones from your STK version and supersize the weapons payload! Leena will be very happy.

I've been reading that a lot of HMM modelers have to glue pieces on their Zoids. Would it affect the posability very much if you do it?

=====

The Lightning Saix is supposed to be Irvine's in Chaotic Century (or is it Guardian Force?). I'm just hoping that the armour will be sold separately as well since I already have an HMM Saix that's in stasis.

@fujkenasai:
WHAT THE...?

Photoshop can get that Kitty Voltron.
Real-life, I'm guessing Pet Store only? But have to combine yourself-lah and wait for visit from SPCA Selangor so totally NOT recommended.

@cryonic, ahtiven:
How come you guys don't want to help translate the Zevle Megatopros site?
From the pictures, it definitely looks like custom moulding and production.
Maybe can get bro Edmaestro to produce paintable pilots like on the website?
