I'm pretty sure that I would honestly kill someone if I had bought King G and found his leg armor was melted. Still, flaw aside, nice catch.

Hmm...the trinity is complete...RUN!!!
...Congrats on the G, WIKD. It's cool you also got it unbuilt. The next time I'm in New Mexico, I'll have to plan to steal your zoids...visit your place. Nice hand made shelf, too.

Ouch ! That is a fair piece of battle damage ! From the looks of it, it seems like a casting error, rather than being damaged after it was made. But I guess that is not much consolation to you. But it looks repairable. The outer vents look intact, and the back should be fixable with some plastic sheet and putty. The inner vents are tougher, but at least they are less visible. But matching the colour will be tough.
You could always just display it with the damage next to the wall ;D
Nice catch - whats your next target ? zed

That mold flaw really sucks.... bet it makes your KG worth twice as much in two years. My KG had a different flaw... the peg atop the cylinder at the back of the mouth was malformed an about half the height is should have been... but that was MUCH simpler to fix using a sprue tree.

Hail to the king, baby! -Bruce Cambel, Army of Darkness so you say you like the "armer" Stickers? I rather appreciated Orudios's "Dard Models" stickers.

What exactly are 'dard' models?

The old labels used to use "Greeking", or random text snippets, for small print because it was assumed that nobody could read it or would want to. After all, do you really use a magnifying glass to read the hydraulic system warning labels on modern Zoids? (okay, I do, and I only place labels that read appropriately on my Zoids!) Well, "Dard Models" is very likely a cut from "standard models". There is also a slew of very small text that is clearly a list of patent numbers in different countries. BTW, Wik, where in the world did you find replacement KG leg parts?!

Stylu Armor's Static Discharge label makes for a great read. It suprised me that the label's print was accurate for the font size.

I like when it talks about something like: "warning: this zoids has a removable canopy. pull handle to jettison canopy"
