Recently, here in the Philippines, a local fastfood chain released as part of its Kiddy Meal sets, three zoids. I managed to get my hands on the Murasame and the Swordwolf.. Here's a short review on the Swordwolf: Molded in red and grey plastic, and some grey rubber. This toy is pretty much what youd expect as a cheap freebie from a dollar meal. it has hinged legs (not balljoints) and poseable rubber swords.. details are average, but not accurate to the real kit, and some of the proportions are wacky. I was expecting this to be a remake of the QK swordwolf but its actually bigger... if the swordwolf kit is 1/72, and the QK swordwolf is approx 1/144, this thing would be about 1/100 in scale. Some weird stuff i noted on this wolf were: trademarks/production marks on BOTH sheilds, tiger paws intead of wolf feet, and the empty gut wich is very visible from underneath. total score: 6/10 not the best swordwolf rendition out there but it is an official variant, so i guess if youre a completist you might want one of these.

Hey, that's pretty cool for a cheap fast food toy. Think it's the sort of plastic to take panel lines or paint, or is it that weird squishy stuff?
The Tiger paws are a nice touch, I think the Whitz Wolf lot look better with them on.
