EZ-044 Zabat

RCM — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 20:27:34 +0000

I decided to use some of my fire sale profits to restore my NJR Zabat that gave up its life in a parts swap. This one is from Academy, which released Zoids in Korea. (The kit’s colors are identical to the NJR, and so is the packaging—except for Korean text instead of Japanese.)

GZ-006 Zabat (Build Review)

This review has only one thing to mention, but it’s an important one.

Point of no return:

Once you put B3 and B4 on the body, they are on there forever! I ruined my Zabat trying to take it apart for a swap. The tab that’s highlighted cannot stand the strain of trying to remove those pieces later.

I’ve been wanting to do this swap ever since the dawn of time—aka, when that other guy did it. It needed a bit more contrast, so I kept some of the silver bits instead of doing a full swap.

GRZ-002 Gil Vader

Box damage, half price, woot! That and finally being able to do the awesome swap would have been good news enough, but it turns out the original color scheme is pretty wicked. I never knew the purple parts had a metallic flake finish. A-and the clear red is beautiful.

RZ-029 Storm Sworder

One of the early “brand new” designs of the NJR. Very sleek and the jet turbines everywhere are a nice touch.

2005: Blade Hawk (Full Metal Crash)

This is an odd bird. For its alternate mode it splits into a weapon (giant shuriken!) and armor for Murasame Liger. Since I don’t have a Murasame, I’m trying to think of customizing ideas…

Vol. 08 Puterasu

So far, this one’s staying MIB until I can make more shelf room. I did take out the bonus “present” for this set, though. It’s the other sprue from Remodel Set No. 1!

The sticker sheet had a ton of stickers with black print… that were to go on a black zoid! Luckily, I had substitute stickers to apply.

Zoicoro: Glidoler

RCM — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 00:12:58 +0000

I got the Glidoler off Yahoo Japan (thanks to Celga) for very few yen. I don’t even think I had to pay the “shipping within Japan” fee, because it was so small. See also: Dino Comics.

Redler

This Redler is another custom order. The orange eyes are from a Zoids2 Red Wingâ€¦ just because.
