Yeah, I kinda feel like I've spammed the front page of this subforum here too much, so I'm going to be posting all my reviews in this one thread from now on, starting with the Kuwaga:
Nothing particularly exciting, tbqh, it's a modified version of the Kabtor and unsurprisingly simple, but I do like it.

Like most of the rest of this line, I think they did a great job designing this kit. Interesting that a third of the box is just air!

Here's my Grachiosaurus review. Kinda lost motivation for a while because I fumbled the build so badly that I figured I wouldn't have anything watchable, but it came out ok in the end, I think.

Thanks again very good review. For it is always important to see some known models beside the new one so many thanks for the comparison especially with the seismo! Cougan |

And here's Knuckle Kong. Raptor is next.

The new Kong really had potential. The Blast most is sort of impressive... but turns creepy after a bit. It really does look unfinished. This won't be a kit that finds itself on my shelf... unless someone wants me to build a custom out of it.

I have to have all of these, obviously, but in all honesty, this is the only one where I think I really shouldn't have bought two because I can't see myself bothering to paint the other one. I'll hold on to it because you never know, but... eh. It just looks too weird, and frankly I don't think it's salvageable with kitbashing either. |

Anyway, here's the next one.

No wonder this one fooled me for a while... it is the size of a small bat-op kit. Essentially it is a Merda/Hellrunner, but more bird-like. Yup, needs armor.

Sorry to hear you sounded overall disappointed with the Kong. Haven't gotten one yet myself, but from your video I have to say I really like look the Kong's blast gimmick... I sort of think it was worth the sacrifices to walking, just because it is so satisfying to have a gorilla Zoid that can do that and there's so many other Zoids that can walk already. Thanks for the excellent video coverage though!

Well, yeah, I can't say I'm not happy that a chest-pounding gorilla Zoid finally exists, but now that I think about it, it would also have been fine if it had just done that and not been able to walk at all. If you look at it that way, the problem is actually the tradition of being able to walk holding it back. |

I've been waiting for this one! Okay, I've been waiting for most of them...  This is a decent sized kit; You know, I'm waiting for Tomy to find a way to panel line these things on the assembly line. This model is almost perfect as a base for a design I did years ago:  |

Nice video-- I know you mention that the panel lining was a little messier than you would have liked, but I think it turned out pretty neat regardless. Plus the few instances of smudging work okay I think because you're using that nice brown on the yellow rather than a harsh black.
