Oh man Look who came today. She really made me want to pick up Souga but I have no chance of finding them right now. Absolutely amazing; I am very very pleased.

Gorgeous! I was never a holotech fan, but this is a striking kit.

MaethiusSame here! Though probably because the holotech bits are a bit nerve wracking to cut because of the brittleness of it. I like how some look but this one just wins by a mile. gurensevenIt feels fantastic! I never thought I would own one truthfully. They definitely need more love! You would think people would be attracted to the uniqueness of the color scheme but that may be what is driving people away; people really hate pink. :[ Speaking of unappreciated I got this piece today: Which in turn allows me to complete this: Dark Spiner is the very opposite of Dark but I really like him regardless. ;; I wish he would get another color scheme release so people would give him some love. Still can't believe that was the only part I was missing. Love how he turned out; but I put the larger guns on his arms because where they had you putting them in the instructions was absolutely ridiculous. Nothing else coming at the moment!

'Spiner is one of my favorite designs... and least favorite color schemes. I should get a couple 'Spiners to customize! I think it would make a killer HMM.

Spiral,
Your lighting in your pics is sick. And that Liger is just nasty! Congrats.
IRT your comment on the Dark Spiner though, you know as soon as they would change the color scheme then all of the sudden your version would get ultra popular as a "throwback" like an NFL/NBA jersey. I mean look at it. It already kind of has that 70's retro look to it. ;D

Finished a basic HelCat/Atak Kat last week. Payed $7+shipping. I'll post some crappy pictures sometime soon. I also just snapped up a Battle Cougar for $5(+$6 in shipping) off of Ebay and a JR Takara Tomy Command Wolf (Irvine edition) for $11.(+$10 shipping) So happy! ;D

Hellbound CrowI am psyched that it got here in tact too! Thank you so much for the help I wouldn't have ever got him built without that tiny piece. Thanks for the link too~ MaethiusI would love to see your interpretation of a Spiner; the aesthetic is there the color scheme is just something that not everyone is keen on. I personally enjoy it. zoddThanks! I really try to get interesting shots of my Zoids; still got a lot to learn with photography. Yea I know! Haha that would probably happen. I actually really love his color scheme just most everyone else hates it. It does have an awesome retro feel! As for an update I managed to snag a MIB NJR Salamander for $30 including shipping off of Ebay. Pretty psyched for that!

spiralofvertigo thats awsome. and i'm always happy to help out if needed. I saw one of the dark spiners once painted in the geno's colors. but i think it would look really good in the dark zoids colors....

Received and built the NJR Salamander today! Gotta say I'm impressed. He's pretty big and I love the way he moves!

must say I've never had much love for the big upright shaky skeletal zoids of yore, but you have to respect its size and overall proportions.. now.. Dark Spiner painted like Geno or Dark Horn? Hellll yes I'd like to see one of those

Always loved Salamander; and the NJR is almost entirely true to the OJR with this one... I have them standing side by side, and the colors are virtually identical. Aside from the "capped" guns and some mold degradation, the new one was left pretty much like the old one.

Look at what I just snagged off of Ebay for $30 shipping included. Most everything seems to be there; not sure about all of the pilots and vehicles we'll see when it gets here. VERY EXCITED for this. Ultra is one of three Zoids I have been actively searching for prebuilt or otherwise. I normally like the thrill of building my own kits but this guy is an exception. I'll keep everyone posted when he arrives.
