The Gojulas impr. review

[dragonslx1]

As my old thread is a little too old to update, I thought I would make a new and Improved review with pics.
The first thing that came to my mind was how small the box was. I have seen pictures of it standing beside the deathsaurer and it was barely smaller. The building of the gojulas is very straightforward but still entertaining. It took me about an hour and a half to fully build. Upon completion the gojulas looked very undergunned and thankfully I had acquired a CP-10 for $20 (good, bad price?). NOW it looked like it could give my deathy a run for its money. Below are some pics. BTW it appeared to me that my mold quality wasn't bad at all as some people here complain about.

Another intresting thing is that my box is in spanish:

Gojulas is pretty old skool, but not a bad design for its time. My NJR had pretty bad flaws in the mold, which I hear have been fixed on later versions. Personally, I have enough Gojuli in my collection, and do not see the point of the Legend Blox or ZED models.

Gojulas looks way better with the CP-10, but I never understood why it was not released in matching colours. My favourite would have to be the White Mk2 or Ogre schemes. Simply, cos the big guns match the Zoid. And I must get round to building HT Gojulas ...

I gotta say wow, that the toy company in South America actually took time to translated the battle story!? Hasbro never bother to translate the battle story, and worst: they entirely abandon the cover art/display, instead using a generic background for all releases.

Spending $20 (in US dollars, I suppose?) isn't a bad price, since CP-10's are going rarer these days, unless TT will reissue them, but I don't think that's going to happen in the short term.

The wierd thing is that it was imported and distributed by hasbro argentina and it was made in Thailand. This zoid has gone to alot of places.

I still like the classic old kit... Not wild about Mariner, but I have four Gojuli and am still after an OJR... maybe an Zoids2 as well. I have to agree with the whole CP color thing... what up?! It's actually close to the OJR blue, but even black or dark gray would be more fitting for almost every CP. I would also like to see a weapon pack upgrade for Gojulas... replace all of his smaller guns with more substantial weapons yet not over-the-top super weapons.

My favorite is probably Ogre, but my fully CP-equipped Terrox is my #2.
