The Gojulas

[dragonslx1]

This is a review of the mighty gojulas that I hope will answer some questions.

At first, I was surprised at how small the box was, seeing as it is nearly as large as the deathy in pics. Another interesting thing is that the box is in spanish. After taking the sprues out, It still amazed me at how little there was. Construction was very smooth and straightforward with no berzerk fury like parts in it. The head is especially interesting, because it works without seeming possible. The old school skeletal look is actually really good and is very sturdy. The one problem, and it may not be a problem at all is that the jaws don't open and close like it says it should, hmmm...... I highly recommend this kit, making it a **** and a half star zoid. I hope to add pictures and some reviews on the CP- 10 guns. BTW thanks for the forum for convincing me to buy the CP- 10.

Reviews shouldn't really go up sans pictures, but if you're going to add some soon I'll leave this open. I'd particularly like to see the box up close, considering while I've seen a few Spanish-boxed Zoids on eBay I'd like more information on them, where they came from, etc.

And yeah, Gojulas' box is surprisingly small for the size it assembles to. Salamander pulls off a similar trick...it's that skeletal Republic look, I guess. The openy-closey jaws are known to not work very well...but with all the other things going on, I've never really minded.

Mine's jaws don't work... I'm wondering, Gordos uses the same motor, so does that mean his jaws won't open and close, either?

Gordos works fine in that respect, at least mine does, but no Gojulas or Zoidzilla I own have ever managed to pull off the opening and closing jaw trick.

I guess its a universal problem, oh and im far from home at the time so I have no way of taking some pictures, though I hope to. Relating to the spanish box, it appears it was manufactured and distributed in Mexico, but has plenty of wierd typos on it like skipping a letter. Mabye it should be NMR (New mexican release) ;D because it has something to do with a Mexican services.

I'm glad it's not just me having bad luck then.

I'm intrigued by this Spanish box though... Is it Tomy or Hasbro?

[dragonslx1]

I left the box at home, but what I read, it was by TOMY. Ill be a able to say for sure tomorrow night, with pics mabye.


..and a cp- 10

[dragonslx1]

Aha, so it was distributed and imported by hasbro Argentina, very wierd....

BTW sorry for the double post

[LigerZer0]

That is interesting because Hasbro never released a Gojulas as part of the NAR release. Does it have a Hasbro style box?

[dragonslx1]

No, the box is authentic TOMY, with the logo on the bottom right hand corner of the box, yet it was imported and distributed by Hasbro Argentina but manufactured in Tailand. Basically a global zoid.

[ShadowLiger]

Wow, it's well travelled!

[dragonslx1]

Yeah ;D, now if only my digital camera would work....
