EZ-006 Molga
I have too many Molgas. I got bored with taking so many pics of these, so I drilled some wider holes in these missiles from CP-26. Nice, eh?
2nd Worldwide Release
Guylos/Neo Zenebas
EZ-017 Iguan
The ulimate answer to the question of “who is the _______-est zoid?” I’m not one of those “cult of Iguan” types, but it is a good kit (though I prefer Zillon’s colors).
EZ-022 Gator
I got this when it came out in 2000, back when I was a n00b and didn’t trim stickers.
EZ-034 Geno Breaker
When I discovered that you could put the cannons on in place of the crab claws (aka “X-breakers”), I liked this guy a lot more. Actually the claws aren’t so bad, but the guns really do it for me. The painted Raven (uber villain brat from the Chaotic Century anime) figure is from a gashapon set I got from YJ. I also tinted the eye pieces and painted the teeth (poorly), for more contrast.
EZ-048 Demantis
Demantis is incredibly fragile, and I finally got tired of pieces falling off every time I looked at it, so I glued the “fins” and clear red bits on. I like the little binocular mans. He sees what you did there.
EZ-051 Grounchar
All I can say is that Tomy was running out of animals to zoidify when they came up with Grounchar. Then they remembered that they could always just make some more ligers, and they did that. This one grows on you.
EZ-056 Hammer Rock
This was a reissue that brought much joy, since the OER Zore and OJR Hammer Rock have always been hard to come by. These are almost the Zore colors, except that the grey bits here actually have a faint tint to them, and the caps and canopy are different. I decided to go buck wild with the panel lining and detailing on this one. I also made a “head light”, like the larger Kongs all have, using a piece of a spare canopy.
EZ-060 Dark Spiner
I’ve sat on this one for a long time, because I was never sure if I liked it or not. I finally saw it from the right angle, and thus did I have to build it. I thought the stock guns looked stupid, so I took them off. This one’s stuck in the limbo known as Customizing, someday
EZ-068 Storch
This is a nice reissue, but I didn’t fully appreciate it until building it myself. The movement and the wing mechanism are clever, and I love the feathery appearance (which makes for nice panel-lining). My only complaint is the gap in the cockpit, where it seems like there should be a window. The bottom part is a modified “clamshell” piece, and a clear piece and almost fit there, so maybe with some cutting I can get it to work. I wonder if Tomy originally planned something there, but had to cancel it at the last minute because of budget limits.
EZ-074 Deathraser
I was going to show you how not cool the original Dekalt Dragon looked, but I used some of Parablade’s parts for a custom. Deathraser looks good on his own, though. Plus he can do the “Double Deuce”! SOLD, fall ’07
