Gravity rex review

[rhasputin]

You bet your butt I'm gonna build it too! lol.

Just posting photos of the sprues for now. Will be building later...












DON'T FREAK OUT IF YOU SEE SPRUES I SOME PICTURES... lol. I took some photos before I shaved them down as I was figuring out what went where. 
The original photo online has the hands put on wrong. Mine are on correctly, lol. It also has the weapon on one side. The original photo looked like it was in the middle, but if you look close it's on one side. The back has room for 2 cannons, which would look AWESOME.... just saying if anyone has a spare gravity rex sitting around... lol


Tools of the trade! lol


Body. Uses the same motor as gravity saurer. I had to pop it apart like 4 painful times to figure out how all the parts connected inside.

Jaw Mechanism


All the holes are triangle shaped, not round. I don't know if all the gravity zoids are like this, because I got all of mine second hand pre-built. But it makes the fittings extremely uncomfortably tight, and put some stress in some areas.


Arm complete the right way. The original single image online seems to have the hands on incorrectly.





Weird rectangle leg fitting



Here's a weird little connector piece on the bottom

Well damn, lol. Glad to see someone on the forum got it.

[Lidier]

I don't know why, but for some reason I was thinking it would have more sprues. Its very cool to finally see what the pieces look like, thank you for sharing the pics!

[rhasputin]

I am surprised how few there are! But I looked carefully and it's all there, lol. Gravity zoids aren't known for being 'complex' I guess I have never built one from scratch, despite owning the others.

[Maethius]

What impresses me about that kit (other than the fact it exists) is that there are a lot of really nice details in it, despite the simplicity. Given an expert paint job, it could look really incredible.

[Lidier]

Also +1 for having arguably the best therapod head sculpt of all... in a series that seems to make a ton of therapod dinosaurs.

[Gojulas Omega]

Congratulation for getting a Gravity Rex.

However, just like what I think, it don't have much to build since it is one of the Gravity Zoids series.
(and I don't think it will give you a hard time to build it even you don't have a manual)

One question, does it come with a clear eye part/s? Some how I can't see it in the photo.

[rhasputin]

Yes it has a small orange clear eye piece, it is very small so I left it in the bag with another very small piece so I didn't love it in the photo.

Lidier, I agree. Best shaped head evar.

[rhasputin]

Updated!

[Lidier]

Wow, he looks very cool complete. I see a lot of similarities with like a scaled up Rev Raptor, esp in the tail.

[rhasputin]

Yeah the tail is like exactly the same as rev raptor. Now I need to find a rip cord and run him.... Anyone got an extra? Lol I have like 4 somewhere but I cant freakin find them lol

[Hellbound Crow]

I will go ahead and just say it...looks like a rev raptor mated with a gojulas giga.....

[theflamecrow]

I just wish there was some way to copy this kit without the motor....

I mean the motor would be a plus, but eh... Not hard to track one down if it's the same as the Gravity Saurer.

[rhasputin]

Yeah it's exactly the same as gravity saurer.

On a side note I -am- planning on starting to practice casting custom zoids pieces. . . So that COULD evolve into being able to cast the gravity saurer one day. I'd love to do it, I could even cast it in different colors and even holotech if I get enough practice in, lol.

My wallet just needs to recover now from buying the gravity rex so I can afford the supplies to practice with!

[kpstormie]

Wow, that sure is a nice kit, glad to see you got it! Looks great, shame it got unreleased.
