STK Command Wolf Barad's Ver Part 4:

***Please note that the pink coloured one is from Ko******** while the Blue one is STK's Barad's Ver.***

LC:

Left this out one earlier on. This part is the bottom end of the Long range Rifle/Cannon where the fans are.
The STK's one fits in nicely but seems like the shape is abiiiit out. At first I thought it was not tight in enough.


Side view of the body.


Top view of the 2 Command Wolves

The Head:

1. The 3 panel lines at the STK wolf's cheek are abit thicker.

2. The fangs of the STK wolf is thicker. Now I don't know which one looks meaner. o.o;

Thanks Hxiiik and devilrider88. Though I think I can only do this for the Command Wolf as this is one of the few zoids I have from Koto. Others are Bustertoise [assembled], Red Horn, Geno Saurer and Gun Sniper Leena Custom.

Here's Part 5 STK Command Wolf Barad's Ver:

***Please note that the pink coloured one is from Ko******** while the Blue one is STK's Barad's Ver.***


50mm Anti-Zoid Beam Gun..or..Cannon [as stated in the manual]


Weapon Turret's cockpit side view. One missing panel line..? XD The cockpit hatch opens well.


Front Top view. The nose for STK's has some missing details.


I still lol-ed at this part. The round parts painted silver are oval-ed shape.. XD Everything else is pretty much quite neat.


If one tries to just remove or twist it abit, sometimes the holder might pop out, but that's ok as the polycaps is still stuck to the gun.


That is the small platform that the weapon pod will be placed on before it is being mounted on the Command Wolf's hard point.

When it is being removed, the blue component from the weapon pod flips on abit, prompting the cockpit hatch to open up in place a lil bit. In this case, you might want to glue it or just push it back into its position.


The Turrets:


Side view. I believe you can see the missing details.


Top view.


Bottom view.


The sensor units are missing in place. Maybe you can cut out some foil stickers in its place.

Here's Part 6,. the final erview STK Command Wolf Barad's Ver:

***Please note that the pink coloured one is from Ko******** while the Blue one is STK's Barad's Ver.***




STK Command Wolf Barad's Ver with AC + Equipments



Thoughts:

Just like the Koto conterpart, each piece is molded out with no missing parts though with some very minor lost in details in some areas. Of course the quality is nothing compared to the original, but the plastic is tough. It's 95% near the ori. Barad's Ver [the one I'm reviewing], the plastic has this glitter dust if you shine the light at a certain angle. Not sure why.. XD But I know the original kit seems to be a lil bit glossy.

It's good to see that they tried to follow with the pre-painted figures and such too. Most of the parts fit in nicely, other than some tiny parts which needed to be glued [this case is also very common in the Koto counterparts, not only in the Zoids HMM line]. I can't comment much on the stickers/decals cos I never applied them..yet.

As for articulations, posability/mobility is similar to the ori. The legs all can stretch in and out alot but sadly with the way the paws are engineered, it can't really support the weight fully. If you're free, maybe you might want to try to mod the paws section to make it pose more. hehe

For the money, which is 50% lesser to the original price, it's worth it. Craving for something non-bipedal? Then I believe this is the choice. You can also buy to try it if you don't have any koto zoids kit before. It'll be fun to build and for those who have Barad's ver, you can share the equipment around with other Wolves in the pack. Ask those who first tried it and see what they say.

I never expected the HMM line to be pirated, honestly. The first I saw was the white coloured Command Wolf and the Gun Sniper, then later this Barad's ver and from BTmodel, the Shield Liger [it has one extra part which the ori doesn't have ]. I'll be waiting to see what BTmodel and STK have to offer more on their future releases.

XD Koto kits are like this, as they model even tiny parts out. They're that good until one of my Virtual On kits had ONE...one..missing part. Hahaa..the head, let me guess..was it the part where you try to put the seat + the control panel thingy + the jaw?

Can get slight headache when fixing koto stuff, but be patient, and the end results will show.

Looking up some stuff on how to update blog and what not.. XD then it'll be easier for me.

Yea...MG GN-X.. I want that pirated too.. ;_;

Glad you enjoyed it. And you're mos welcome.


omg.. XD sampai nak buang nih! Hahaa when i first fixed my wolf too same prob, but just wanted to keep it in place so the parts could be placed together. XD Tough but got it.

Not bad. Your own colour schenes?

I haven't been to BTS area to do scouting for awhile already...

so nice of u to have ppl support ur hobby.

the sazabi evo in the psoter does have a sharper chest armor.

Looks nice though. hand itchy to get it.

omg... my bro sure going to cry when he sees Nightingale's QC. XD

MyKy44, my bro just jaw dropped when he saw ur review cos of the challenge. XD

But he said it's ok too though. Can be used as training. hahaaa.

And nice review too.

Yea.. will help him on assembling it too.

And yea like what afsarudy said, bandai does not have it so..think should be ok one. hehee

Wow...not bad. Abit too colourful.

Is this from McModel's series...i forgot the name.. XD Or it's another original design by them?

LOL i was trying to look up for that mecha but duno name.. XD

And yea, would be nice if they did it, Cos currently b'dai only released the tamashii spec line...and dragonar 02 and 03 are limited edition that kind..xl sell damn gila expensive... ;_; my D1 feels lonely and incomplete without them. >D

max factory also has D1 custom only, and kinda costly but aiming to get my hands on that. @_@
