Those are gorgeous! I'm so happy personally, I thought they had given up on the HMM line- will try to get both, will definitely get the storm sworder! (I, too, though, wish it was a Raynos instead. XD But I won't complain!) Also, the Helic Republic flag in the background of one of those pics, do want for my house!
ST has cooler footlocks than the original BF? And I wonder if the ST can stand any better than the original BF, who's a little touchy on the posing for me….
I can't quit freaking out about the SS though- glad to see some more love for our aerial zoids <3

Zoikino posted a blog entry with links to some youtube videos of the displays. Gives a very dynamic overview of the kits.

Thank you for this, Hanyoutai! Looking forward to wishing I could buy these!
Curious; I just noticed that the Storm Sworder was given the designation EZ-219... shouldn't it be RZ?

Hmm, I recall SS was originally going to be an empire zoid, and its styling (closed-off eyes, power-backpack of the saix and fuhrer type) bears that out.. so didn't they end up saying or implying its design was stolen from the empire?

But they were flying a Republic flag at the show, it looked like? Maybe just because both nations were in the show and they wanted a nice display.
SS is a lot bigger than I thought, at least wingspan-wise, so I approve of that! I'm grateful for the videos, helps get a better sense of size and detail.

Yep, the fanbooks confirm that the Republic Intelligence Department stole the Storm Sworder blueprints from the Empire. There seems to have been a lot of stealing in the NJR

If that's the case, TT should have released two versions of the SS right out of the gate, like all of the other color swaps they've done!

Ouchies. If I'm reading this blog correctly Storm Sworder is being prioritized and likely released within the year, while Sturm Tyrann is probably going to be released in 2018. A little surprised it will take so long for the Tyrann when it is only additional parts. Hopefully this means some investigation into sturdier knees so it can support its armor better, but we'll see. I look forward to seeing pictures of the SS when it's closer to done. The unpainted version looks amazing.

Me personally am happy with that, I so Need some more flying zoids, Storm sworder is one I don't have. And with re-watching chaotic century recently I have come to really want! Stronger knees on Sturm Tyrann would be lovely, though Maybe they are just deliberately delaying it to release the zoids at intervals in queue otherwise they probably figure their loyal customers will go broke!
