Hasty googling indicates that conductive metal epoxies do exist, but only really as alternatives to solder rather than as general casting materials, so if the BI parts are conductive then I'd assume they're pure metal. (also not gonna lie, most of my metallurgical knowledge comes from my love of AvE - beware salty language, do not use speakers if Grandma is about) |

Ernestotaku, wow, you already received the Zoids Wild Zoids!? That's great! Falcarius, Wow...that's a lot of Zoids games, and I'm more surprise that they are not complete yet!? I live in Japan, so I went for them. I asked for a free day at work, and did it right! because they were sold out at 11:45 or 12, and the store opened at 11:00. I got the last Gabrigator. Nice!! And good to know that they sell this good. |

If I'm not mistaken the Blade Liger AB was released by Academy (in Korea) in 2010. The ABs were a CP in the Tomy line. They also released a huge wave of Blade Liger BIs at the same time. I got a couple Liger Zeros from their 'mass release' of kits that year and one of them did indeed have minor molding differences. This might account for one of the differences in the Bladey teeth.
I wonder if the broken teeth are from the 1st Editions of the kits? And then they realized "Wait, this does not work well-" Because I want to say my Bladey is a 1st edition. Most people wouldn't notice, as it's just a little sticker on the box and would've come with a card.

Are the white parts on it truly painted blue plastic like hanegaru states? That'd be fascinating to know. I would also love to see a picture of that sticker~ This sounds like something I'd like to hunt down for my collection. |

 Oh boy oh boy was I excited for this finally arriving in the mail. Got this lot off Y!J for an amazing deal, 1,980 yen and BIN at that. Which was perfect cuz I coincidentally have customs planned for each of them so obviously went 'yoink' x3 Also completely forgot that they come with the original boxes so that was a super nice bonus (I love OJR/NJR boxes so much omg). Not sure which wave the Bladey is from as he doesn't have pure metal claws and teeth like my other one, but are made of... compressed powder it seems. Which unsurprisingly partially disintegrated already (rip tooth and paws). If anyone knows which release had neither solid metal nor plastic claws/teeth, I'd be intrigued. Also not sure where his one blade attachment..attachment went, it was there in the listing. Maybe I missed it. The Fury didn't come with the lower jaw armor which is cool though cuz I have spare Sturm Tyrann parts anyway, and the tail attachment is fractured which should be easily fixable with epoxy glue. Also my first Gustav (so cute omg and the shell mechanism is lovely) and Fury (which damn is one hell of a kit). For some reason all three have incredibly loose parts, but hey that's what clear nail polish is for. In any case I'm super excited for the plans I have with them~ Dawnbreaker Blade Liger, a custom metallic blue/flat white Fury à la Kuryu Gundam, and a Steampunk Fruitstav (hint: look at the trailer)... can't wait for exam week to be over and finally have the time to pretty these poor sun-damaged guys up ;7; I am getting a 404 error with your link. I own 2 TOMY Blade Ligers: Leon's, and Forest & Night Fight. The former's teeth broke very easily during assembly. The latter's are seemingly ok (I cannot remember if F&NFs are metal or not...I will check later today). |

As there are many new Zoids i got in the last month here are my last acquisitions: Along with the Deathpion i got some time ago some new ones. Special thanks goes to Gojulas Omega who gave me this Panzertier Demantis. I love that additional female pilot have to paint her next! Thanks Cougan  |

I got the first batch of Zoids Wild! So glad to have brand new proper motorized Zoids after so long. 
Took some pics of them and their close relatives.
Wild Liger and Gil Raptor feel like a hybrid of Grade Up Zoids and 24-scale Zoids. Really cool. I was impressed by how WL's wild blast works. It's not timed by a premade motor like Mugen Liger but by a clever mechanism that lowers his head as he walks.
Kabtor is really similar to Saicurtis but his legs are tiny. Basically the same motor type and leg movement, but the motor moves the horn and stabby thing instead of just the wings.
Gab is the same size as Neptune but Gab is battery operated. Gab's motor is way quieter than Neptune's insanely loud one lol. Guzak has long legs compared to Scopear, but they move the same way. Scorpear's pincers move when it walks, unlike Guz.
3 cute tortoises. Gannon is a good deal bigger than the other two, especially Missile tortoise. I like how it walks.
I really like these so far. Gab's my favorite. Wish I preordered Grachiosaurus before the scalpers got him. Didn't think these would be so popular, but that actually makes me really happy. Zoids is back ^_^
