Yeah - Trypticon!
Similar to motorised Gojulas/Zoidzilla since both Legs and Arms move automatically when switched ON. No motorised head movement though, I think for Trypticon.

OT: Any news on Titan-class Generations Trypticon, orestes? Also, I thought Deathsaurer in TF was aka Megatron of "Breast Force"?

The special edition Blu-Ray clear Blade Liger is indeed awesome looking.
The best way to display this piece, I think, is to have it over a light table or something similar.

Probably can still buy it if you know how to play with Yahoo! Japan Auctions.

v4vangol has this clear HMM Blade Liger.
Perhaps they can share the box images with us?
I noticed there's two - one in full-colour and another is blue monochrome packing.
However, I don't know what the difference in packaging means.

Khai62 - I'm sure MSS Sinker will be lots of fun to build. You have tweezers?

Khai62, that is one TINY Zoids! D-style Liger looks so much bigger than that Sinker.
Great articulation though, based on your review and pictures.

I'm still on the fence about getting this.
Even if I do, it'll probably be one-shot or occasional just as a novelty.

Yeah.
I'm torn between this MSS Sinker's water diorama or waiting to see if MSS Salamander will get a "sky scene" diorama!

Too bad the only picture of that MSS Salamander so far just has an opaque plastic stand:



And for those of us who have wondered how HMM Gojulas would look with "sharp" teeth, the following custom is an eye-opener indeed.
Much patience with the Dremel-style grinder is required.

Yup, yes, ya.
Lot's of the D-style Zoids already out in the market. Maybe some already finished their production run?

The latest was D-style Iron Kong, released in Japan around November 2013, I think.

You can see more at Kotobukiya's Zoids' page:

One thing to remember about those official images - what you see is usually not what you get out of the box. Panel-lining, painting...you all know the drill.

limfreelance Which ones are the 1/72 base stuff? Any particular link/page?

v4vangol Thanks for clearing up the box image of the holotech HMM Blade Liger. Monochrome box only for me then.

Was there a mention of HMM Rev Raptor? My Japanese reading skills are non-existent!

An interesting request I read at ZP for "Chapter 2" of HMMs is a two-pack of Helcat (one in NJR colour and another in clear plastic); for those who want to re-enact those New Century Zero and Guardian Force battles from the anime

Happy Chinese New Year and enjoyable holidays, everyone!

Here's hoping the Year of the Horse will bring us a companion Zoids for Orudios and Evil Pegasus.

I'm looking forward to seeing your grabs and builds. Lively!

Beautiful CNY Zoids you have there Dreamworks.
It looks like you even cleaned up the sprue marks on the parts - did you do it with the "fingernail burnishing" technique?

I'm glad that TOMY provided the option of assembling the Genobreaker with or without the X-breaker claws.

Mine's still in storage, poor thing.
Does the model include the head cannon piece to replace the spike to give it a Genosaurer-style look?

Hey there, Carpathia.
You have some Zoids you can share with us?

I'm okay with discussion on bootlegs but most of those are based on Kotobukiya kits, correct? Hopefully there are some modelers here who can participate.

> I still think sharp teeth would look better on HMM Gojulas but it sure is beautiful.


On a separate note, Darwock of ZP reported that the Zoids Original line has ended with Stormsworder FSV. I am sad :'-(

From the Winter Wonder Festival 2014, it looks like Kotobukiya may be making a foray into the Z-Knights line.

This definitely looks like the great Z-Knight, doesn't it?


Here's the original TOMY version from the 1990s:

On the Zoids front, anyone get the ThreeZero Liger model?


Their Iron Kong looks quite good too.
I don't know much about these figures. Maybe they're like the Hot Toys things.

Anyone went to Singapore during the CNY holidays? Any Zoids grabs/builds?
So stoked seeing the picture that Spartan posted on ZP.
When-lah M'sia also have like this again?

Ya - really sad cannot get Zoids around the RM40 range anymore.
The Rebirth and Zoids Original line especially seems like the pricing is to kaw kaw milk the adult collectors. The price of Nostalgia, I guess.

If anyone sees the FSV Stormsworder being sold locally or in Singapore, please let me know. Thinking of getting one now since I only have access to just the grey NJR version.

Wow! That's GREAT!

Zoids Original at local ToysRUs Malaysia stores?
I hope they will be bringing in more of the other models.
Mmmm - Stormsworder FSV.

Mirage Fox does look very nice indeed.
Still trying to figure out how to panel-line the vents. Gundam liner too messy, I think.

Thank goodness ToysRUs bringing them in for us but didn't see them at TrU 1 Utama. Maybe not all of them stocking Zoids?

magoo124, your HMM Panzer Liger missing parts?
Seems like its not bulky enough.
Those small cylinder missiles have to be painted, correct?

Finally able to enjoy the smell of Geno Ritter in the box!
I want to build it so bad but no more space. How?

Have not seen the Geno Ritter at any stores in Selangor/Kuala Lumpur, yet.
I don't think any shops stocking it yet.

Don't give up hope, though.
Litt Tak Sdn Bhd imported the Command Wolf RGC so I hope the chances are good they will bring in the other Zoids Original too.

Those are some great looking Zoids.
I've yet to build my Originals selection due to lack of display space also.
I'm not so confident with concrete drilling for wall shelves but that seems the only viable solution.

Is there D-style Bloody Deathsaurer on sale too?
You should get the Proto Gojulas Giga - the eye changes colour depending on the mode. I would have loved it more if its roar was louder.

tErRyRoX
Your Shadow Fox is the HMM version, correct?
From your picture, it seems there's not much size differences with the Mirage Fox.
It's good to know that the HMM and motorised versions still look good displayed next to each other. What's your next target Zoid?

Zoids...normal humans cannot stop at just one ;p
Motorised Zoids may not have great details like HMM but I just love the mechanisms.

I've definitely run out of display space too so now I just buy, build, play then box the little buggers.

Taking a quote from the other forums "Buy now, regret later"!

I'm still waiting for Command Wolf RGC sightings in Malaysia stores.
Anyone found it yet?

Somehow, looking at the promo video for it - I think I need another to show off the alternate builds.

I only saw Zoids Original Mirage Fox for sale at TrU Ikano and Litt Tak store at Sg. Wang.
Other TrU I did not check yet.

Also the other Zoids Original models are not in M'sian stores yet, I think even if Litt Tak is importing them.

Great grabs on the Proto Gojulas Giga. No regrets, right?
I think it looks much better with than the NJR version. It's the orange rubber caps that make it stand out.

Khai62 Don't worry about carrying this on the train.
If our TS can carry King Gojulas on the LRT, for sure you can bring this on the Komutar.
I carried Gilvader back home by bus as well, a long time back.
Hehe, couldn't avoid the stares of the other passengers.
