Deathstinger is an amazing piece of engineering. Definitely worth picking up the Remote Controller, if you can find one. The way it skuttles around is authentically creepy. Both colour schemes look great, I just wish the body had a bit more detail: lenses for the outer eyes, seperate plates for the back armour and hollow end on the cannon so it looks a bit less like two AA batteries stuck together.
Helcat is one of the cutest but under-rated Zoids out there. The head design is inspired, and the sleek curves pull off the pantheriness perfectly. Given that Molga comes in half a dozen colours, it's crazy Helcat never had one. Crystal version for camoflage mode, White version from the anime episode, Dark blue for mini OER Zabre, in fact it could be a mini me for any version of Sabre Tiger. The possibilities are endless.
Thanks Oath for reminding me how cool all these kits are. Keep 'em coming.

Yet another thing I'll never have because it's gone forever and was probably double priced when it came out.. ... then again I never thought I'd have an Orudios or King G either, and look how that turned out

The metalic pink is certainly different, but I'm not sure it is better than the standard blue and red.
You know, we probably own 99% of all Zoids between us. We really should update our Reference Centre.

Yup, I'm not even wasting time with an introduction today, as we can clearly see, up for review today is the museum White Horn! I'll just put this out here, this is by far my favorite Horn variant. The colors are absolutely beautiful on this model. Now, I don't have the Crimson or Green horn, but having at least seen pictures of both, I still find the Bone/White Horn much better looking. These are good closeup of the colors. Did I mention that the Styracosaurus is my favoirte dinosaur? Maybe that's why I love the horn series so much. Yup, no T-Rex for me, or Triceratops, I'll take a Styracosaurus any day of the week! All together! Well, all the horns I own anyway. Only downside to the Bone Horn is that it can be insanely expensive, as a limited release model. I'm not sure it's worth shelling out that kind of money for unless you are a completionist, or you just love the horn series as I do. Luckily for me, I was able to get an amazing deal on this guy. So if you find a decent price on this guy (which to me, a "decent" price would be under $45 USD) then pull the trigger!

Styracos ARE the best. Of course the ultimate best is a styracosaurus with inexplicable triceratops eye horns.. and that is definitely the best horn! I wish there was a blue horn.. Maybe they could use red for the glass so we get all the colors. The only thing I don't love about the horns is how their frill horns and nose horn don't match.. but aren't all those little details neat? All over them there's little.. maybe vents or.. whatever you can imagine them to be

@snow - There was a Robostrux Blue Horn, was he called Brutox ? I'm sure someone here wil correct me.
Bone Horn has a great colour scheme, but I don't think he is the best. I'd probably go for OJR Dark Horn for the massive gatling cannon and being one of the original dark Zoids. (If they ever released the twin gatlinged Fuzors version, it would be king.) A close second would be Crimson Horn: awesome re-design but spoilt by the mixture of overly pinky colours. And if I ever get around to building my Green Horn, I'd have to look at how to mount a pair of black Attack Boosters as seen on the web comic.
Overall, Red Horn was probably the best design of its time and still beats many later Zoids which were created with better technology.

Bone Horn! Yes! I love this Zoid... I have one with the cherished CP-03 (and a CP-26, just to be sure!) It's striking with the other 'Horns on the shelf, but I like Green Horn a little better. My favorite, which I have missed bidding on for many years, is still Brutox, also preferably with a CP-03. Oh, yeah!
