2008: Gator Guylos Specification

This was part of a set of limiteds sold at Wonderfest ’08. The other was Molga, which I desire greatly straight-up HAVE. These sold out in seconds, and hit obscene prices on Yahoo Japan (made even more obscene with the Dollar being down the crapper). BUT, Toy-Wave had the Gator on sale a few weeks ago, so patience and despair won out, for once! Since Gator’s legs and inner frame are on the same sprue, they included an extra of that sprue for the dark legs/green frame combo.

EZ-022 Gator

I got this when it came out in 2000, back when I was a n00b and didn’t trim stickers.

Gator

This Gator was a custom order. We didn’t think they’d be able to chrome the head, but they managed. Recently I got a set of shiny Zenebas stickers from Reprolabels.com, which were perfect for this guy. Then I raided my spare parts for a red canopy and some matching caps.

Gator (OJR/NJR)

Dark bits are from the NJR, silver from the O.G. The remaining pieces formed a combo so hideous I could not even photograph it. This guy was my favorite, before the chromie Gator came along.

Gator (old version)

Originally I painted the legs gloss black, which I then realized was not the best idea (next time: semi-gloss!). I also stole a clear orange visor from a spare Zillon, when I had this idea of a chrome army—silver, black, with orange glass.

Probably the best color scheme of one of my favorite designs.

The Executive

Quick and dirty plastic swap: Leoshop Gator plus Zoids2 Tarantulon. This is the luxury SUV of zoids. I posted some pics on the ZoidFans Mailing List, and one Major Kong wrote for me a beautiful writeup, as he does for his own customs.
