As you requested silverliger ^_~ Tomy has put out 3 small, posable die cast and plastic blade ligers of the years- red, blue and the more recent but harder to find mirage. The first two were convention limiteds if my memory serves me, the mirage was a liited edition item that was sold with zoids struggle. All three of them are often sold absurdly overpriced online. But Yurei did not pay too much, oh no.... ;D Anyway, like his red and blue bretheren, BLM is very similar with a diecast head, plastic legs and body, plastic tail, metal blades and hip armor. He has quite a bit of articulation including a tail, 4 legs, and 4 feet all mounted on ball joints as well as a posable head. The blades though sadly cannot be posed. Unlike my other two tomicas though, my mirage is *a lot* more posable. I'd describe him as being "looser" for lack of a better word. Especially his head. Everything moves less stiffly and more freely, which makes for more poses but a harder time keeping him in said poses. Assembly time? About 30 seconds. He requires his feet and tail be put on, and that's all. His tail was a lot easier to put on than my other 2 bladies' as well... Overall rating- highly reccomended, if you love posable, unmotorized zoids and are willing to hunt for one. They're hard to find in online stores and expensive when you do find one, but you can find them cheap every so often on ebay. Size comparison: Frolic, I command thee!

The Mirage and Blue Ligers seem to really like each other. In all seriousness though, nice grab. Another thing for you to get mad at me for poking.

I only get mad because every time you touch something, something falls off or it explodesinto a pile of parts I think you need to have another talk with my giga though, he was misbehaving again hun....

*arranges all the Tomica Ligers into odd poses while people are busy being sappy, then runs like hell*
Mirage so has Kingliger envy, especially without boosters.

How many pieces are there all together?

it's pre attached yes. You might be able to pry it off, given as it's on a ball joint but I care not to try and KB, know what happens when a red tomica and a mirage tomica get a little frisky? .... you get a PINK tomica!

Oh, please don't tease me. I'm already tempted to buy that $500 Pink Blade Liger from Toywave.

KB, all that Pinky BL has different from a regular Mirage is the CP-12s which are in standard blue. Yurei, looking at the small guys, they're pretty cute but parts of the body look a little odd for my taste. I suppose you can have them all. I'll stick to my larger babies.

Keep an eye on ebay. The red and blue are usually sold as a set for $40-60, but I paid.... $21 with shipping for my red and blue set. So good deals are out there. That said I think I paid about $23 total for the mirage.
