Zoids ’n Shit » brachios http://zoido.smeat.net Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:00:15 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 GRZ-004 Dark Nessios http://zoido.smeat.net/grz-004-dark-nessios http://zoido.smeat.net/grz-004-dark-nessios#comments Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:57:01 +0000 RCM http://zoido.smeat.net/?p=3465 A big part of the Rebirth line seems to be re-tooling and updating old designs. This one takes Brachios and makes it into a plesiosaur, which in turn makes me very happy. In the ancient times (2001), a hobby magazine showed a Brachios-to-Plesio kitbash (one, two), so I’ve been hoping for an official bash for some time. In other news, Hydrazoid is sad at not being the coolest (and only) plesiozoid anymore.

The only bummer to this kit (besides not being a real swimmer) is that there are no eyes on the new head. The ones on the box are ’shopped. I cut off some extra bits from the purple sprue to make mine.

This kit also comes with the parts to make Brachios (Dark Army Specification). I may build and shoot that variant some day, but for now I’m lazy. Laziness is also the reason these pics are terrible. That, and no sunlight.

I thought I lost the chest gun pictured on the box, but apparently it was never included. Phew! I seem to see the “newtype” variant on auctions more often than the “regulartype”, which has silver armor and dull red underbits—like the NJR, but then the gun and cockpit are black.
