The Godos looks great as ever. Based on the stickers, I see it's in the OJR style.

I noted on Poison that the Plessi has the colors of the original concept pre-production Iron Kong and that era of Zenebas Zoids... the black and purple. Looks good! (notes there are no labels on the plessi.... is Zenebas/Guylos no longer the enemy?)

Both are very pretty, though the jaw looks odd on Neogodos. Not bad, just odd, maybe I'm just used to the classic version. My one nit pick about Plesi is the red glass, looks a bit off to me.
Plesi is obviously based on Brachios, does it still have the motor ? Neogodos looks non-motorised, it feels like a hybrid Blox/HMM but in a good way. I'd like to seem more new / updated designs like this.

Rebirth Zoids Wave 1 is looking good. I wonder what's in Wave 2.

Hope they aer cheap.

There were some other pics of the prototype for Neo where you can see a white motor key socket on its right side... the legs have two positions; pose and walk, or at least it certainly looks that way. Also, the slides on the hips indicate movement. I think what we are seeing is a hybrid motorized/poseable Zoid. This new series could be VERY interesting...
... I just hope I can collect some of them now that my finances will be diverted to supporting wife and child! (and I hope our new home has a large Zoid room!)

Am I the only one that thinks the Plesiosaurus is totally lame? It's just a standard Brachios with a slightly modified head and fins instead of feet. I wouldn't mind it as a LTD or something but having this be part of the first wave of "rebirth" Zoids just feels lazy to me.

Heh - the minor remodel was the thing I really liked about the Plesiosaurus  Except I bet it doesn't actually swim  |

Oh, it's just a Shield Liger with different armor and weapons. D: Either way, minor remolds are usually going to be put out first, rather than all-new things. ....Actually, I think this is the first Zoid that's been only partially remolded.  Am I wrong? |

Cosmozoid is a Glidoler with extra/different bits stuck on, and it does it without leftover bits like Blade Liger.
The first wave of the NJR was all recolors, too ;p.

The new line seems to have started off with re-releases, remolds and at least one all-new design. I remember wishing that they'd modified the design of the TDP Storm Sworder Jet instead of doing a straight recolour.
It looks like Tomy is putting a bit of an effort into this 'Rebirth', so I'll forgive them for reusing a few sprues. Especially when they're releasing kits that I actually like.
