Woah those are tiny...I wonder why they decided upon 1/144.

Strange scale, but it'll open the option to do Zoids and Gundam dioramas. XD
Hopefully these little things are worth the money, I'd like to add some to my 1/144 collection. (AKA All of my Gundam are 1/144 for the most part.)

I'm guessing that the 1/144 line is more collectible... that, and it's a popular scale for other lines.

You could make parent child dioramas with them :? Or Normal size Zoid "teacher" and kids "1/144" at recess dioramas too :?
The really are small. Looks like it will be 3-5 of preassembled pieces? Take you maybe 20 minutes to build and decal.

that hammerrock doesn't look in scale with that shield liger..
It's funny though, I wanna see a collection now of Gorem, Iron Kong, and HammerRock in their various scales, including the whale king minis and the LB IK..

I think that they are expensive for thtat size and not being motorized, are they?
I don't understand why TOMY is back with this strange scale.

Well, they look good in OJR colors:  But at $35 and $43 a pop, I would rather buy this for the same price:  Or this... !E9s2fDwijBQVpgRE+6Q~~60_3.JPG) Or even this...  |

Amiami has preorders up for both. They're not that expensive, actually. And they come with a few extras. Hammer RockShield Ligerif I didn't already have a few things coming in January I'd preorder at least one of them... They're actually fairly well articulated, too, it seems. |

Good, I was worried from the prototype pics that they might be too stiff. Here's hoping they offer at least an enjoyable build. Now if only they would release a Godos or Rev Raptor, I'll be happy.

$21 dollars (with their special 25% off online deal) plus shipping for a small non-motorized Zoid and a Diorama that I would rather build myself... To each his own, but I'm just not feeling it. Especially since this is a re-release. And is there any final word on them coming to the States, or is Nippon only?

I'm curious... are those pics of rapid prototype units? In the close-ups the surfaces are really, really rough! They don't look smooth at all.

Hmm. If they are indeed prepainted, as it appears they might be, then I would be compelled to obtain a Hammerrock to sit with my Gundams. The detail and poseability is quite a bit better than the last 1/144 offering, Zoids Jr. Or perhaps I should wait for the Gelder.  |
