- EZ-038 Elephander
In: 2nd Worldwide Release > Guylos/Neo Zenebas
I love everything about Elephander, except its size relative to other Zoids. The body’s about the size of a Redhorn—not too big. It does have a lot of nice movement and detail, and a ton of extra bits, so I guess I’ll just pretend it’s a 1/100 scale kit.
- Grade Up Unit No. 3: Eye Flasher (on Gul Tiger)
In: 1st Japanese Release > Other Goodies
I still haven’t tried this on Evil Pegasus, but here’s another good candidate: Gul Tiger!

Words are coming, but for now here are some pics I took to test out my new lens.
- 2009: Anime 10th Edition-02 Iron Kong
In: Everything Else > Other Limited Editions
TakaraTomy commemorated the 10th anniversary of the anime by releasing more anime-accurate versions of Ban/Van’s Shield Liger, and this hella sweet Kong belonging to Schwarz/Schubaltz. Making my own swap was not enough, once I saw the clear green motor and black inner frame. I also finally found a semi-good deal on ebay (although everytime someone [...]
- 2007-11: Berserk Poryzoid
In: Customized Zoids > I Made These
I’m not sure if I ever finished this. The build’s done, but I’m really unhappy with the paintjob, because pink is the most difficult/uncooperative color to work with. I’m also unhappy with the fact that it has fallen off the shelf and broken SEVERAL times. Like it’s against the law to paint one of the [...]
- HMM-015 Iron Kong
In: 2000s Misc Releases > Kotobukiya HMM
For the longest time, people have wanted an HMM Kong. Especially me! But now that it’s out, and I have built it, I’m kind of disappointed, because it did not overcome the worst qualities of HMM kits—the fragility*. I haven’t gotten around to it yet, but this one’s going to require serious amounts of glue [...]
- CP-24 Flexible Booster Unit (Limited)
In: Everything Else > Weapons/Armor/Etc
For the longest time I wondered if this limited version’s grey matched the weird grey of NJR Hammer Rock. It didn’t help that there were no good pictures anywhere. Well, now I know! The answer: close, but NO. This grey is very neutral, with no weird lavender cast to it.
- HMM-013 Gun Sniper (Build Review)
In: 2000s Misc Releases > Kotobukiya HMM
This was a fun build, with very few tough parts (which weren’t even that tough). The main thing with these smaller kits is having to do a lot more painting than with large kits, if you want that “looks just like the box!” style. I think Kotobukiya’s getting better at engineering these things, because there [...]
- HMM-013 Gun Sniper
In: 2000s Misc Releases > Kotobukiya HMM
Short review: WOOT! Long review to come. I love this little guy. For now, check out the build review.
- HMM CP-11 (for Shield Liger)
In: Everything Else > Weapons/Armor/Etc
HMM clear parts? OH MY! This was a festival limited, like all the other HMM CP sets, but the first to feature clear parts (most have been chromed).
