New Years brought me my grail in the way of the Academy Seismosaurus but with the good comes...brittle red plastic. He is all together now all glued and is holding up fine I just made a very slight error when building him and put the wrong side of the foot panel facing outwards. I went to correct this and wound up with... a snapped armor peg so I'm not messing with him anymore. He will stay in his spot and be safe. I didn't know this guy was so fragile but I still love him. I kinda thought he would be bigger than he is as well but I'm not complaining; more shelf room for me. Comparison to Ultrasaurus. I also received another Zoid high on the want list; the Blade Liger release with metal fangs and claws. I have to finish building him; I got a bit tired tonight. I had some trouble with his head not going together correctly but I read that that is normal for NJR Blade Ligers. All and all a good haul.

A good haul indeed! I'm currently hunting for the rare black Hasbro release.....or the Ultimate Seismo, which ever I find first! XD

Thanks! I've got him fixed to the extent that I am pretty content. Although I am armed with super glue; exchanging those two pieces would probably shatter the legs, the plastic is that bad. It doesn't detract from the model at all thankfully just...makes my OCD spur up when I look at his front feet ha ha.. You can see there what I'm talking about. The front feet are on the wrong side. That's what I get for getting caught up in New Year's drink mixing and building Zoids at the same time I guess. Yep! I just finished building him actually! I love this thing to death. The metal adds so much nice weight to it it's just really nicely crafted. Except in the head area the cockpit doesn't close flush; this is apparently normal for NJR Bladeys. I'm definitely still interested in that bison motor too; just waiting on a payment from someone. Thanks so much again. <3

Finally got my Death Stinger built and boy do I love it. I like to keep the cockpit open because I love it's face. I actually like the color scheme on this guy but I would love to have the other version. This very well may be my favorite kit.

Love 'Stinger... just wish that the kit had been made with a lot more detail. A cross between Deathstinger and Deathpion would rock.

My latest completed build: Such a fun kit to build, even with a few niggles as to parts staying where they should.

That is truly a handsome kit, if I do say so. Looks quite yellow here, like the Zabre. I would be tempted to airbrush the purple to a shade of gray, but otherwise it's striking.

It's the most gorgeous shade of gold I've ever seen on a toy. Ever. Darker & richer in person than it appears in that shot. I'll admit I was worried about sprue marks on it, but to be honest there's nothing that jumps out, even looking at it up close. And the little painted up Prince Rudolph figure is MINT. I love that little thing.

It's the Guylos Emperor's personal Zoid. Or one of them, anyway.

It's beautimous.. though I still can't get used to the proportions, especially when a sabertooth is supposed to be a really stocky cat.. but it's soooo wonderful-looking!~
