Redler is a Zoid that doesn't seem to get much love, aside from Tilly anyway  , so I decided he needed a review to sing his praises. Redler is a simple and quick build, but still satisfiying. This one here I got from docker without the instruction manual..didn't even need one. It's that intuitive. A great Zoid for a beginner! Redler is a smaller sized windup with only a few points of articulation..the head, canopy and tail blade, but the walking and wingflapping mechanism is very cool. This is an awesome design and everybody ought to have at least one. This Zoid is great on its's own, but gets bonus points for being a great platform for customs. Redler has the potential to be painted and darthed a hundred different ways..Paul's very own Genesis version in particular comes to mind as being a kick*** example of what can be done with a little paint. Myself..I needed Viola's version  My only nitpick is it being a little too easy to assemble, I like a little bit more challenge. Otherwise, this is a great kit...to bad it's so underated  I give it an 8/10! Pics:      |

This zoid also looks great with the CP-09. A real must-have for any redler.

Personally, I think the CP-09 looks too big for the Redler, and spoils the sleekness of the whole thing.
In a perfect world, it would have been nice to have a trasparent, coloured tail blade, in a light sabre style. Of the non-limited releases, the red chassis is my favourite, but one of these days I must try it out with Redwing's orange wings.
Its a shame Black & Genesis Redler's are so hard to find - zed

Oh... the one in the pic is a custom repaint. I thought Redlers come in Red Color instead of Purple...  |

I love Redlers. I never thought much of them and I picked one up cheap just to add it to my collection but then I built it and now I will not part with it for love or money. Redlers deserve our love.

The original Redler and, if you forgive the awesome wings, Red Wing are both red Redlers I'd love a Genesis Redler through. Most awesome Redler and it gets canceled and made into a limited, what a shame =/ |

I worship them! ;D Now that I have done this one, I guess I can go without Zolkon or Dragonfly...but my lust for Redwing will not be cured until I have him in my greedy little hands As far as Limited Reddy's go...Black is my holy grail! |

There was also a re-release of the OJR colors (TDP?) in a limited capacity. I really like the look of Redler, certainly a dynamic Zoid and it appears to be the basis for Gilvader's design! However, it has always bugged me that it is essentially unarmed. I don't think it should have guns the size of a CP-10, mind you, but SOME kind of weapons would be nice! And, yes, I agree that the CP-09 is simply too large to look sleek on the Redler... maybe something half that size. I always thought a unit to snap under the head with some light cannons would be the way to go.  |

If you mean the Playstation Redler, I hear it has NJR Redler wings rather than Reddra wings. Small difference, but I really like those old-school wings.

I really love that Genesis Redler. I also want that Red Redler. The only Redlers here are the Purple ones... |

the genisis redler is a repaint of a purple one using tamiya pearl white and metalic blue with the frame done in satin black a simple repaint but quite effective(i was most dissapionted when tomy cancelled the main release).
