Very true indeed.. But luckily episode 13 will be much to your liking  If they'd do more of that I'd be all for it. |

Gusock is an isopod, not a pillbug.

We have our first video of Stegosage's Wild Blast. I do like the blades coming down to the sides, but the movement is a bit silly for my taste. Looks more like he's got a really itchy back and is trying to scratch it. Or like that twitch thing that cats do when you touch their back. EDIT: And Gusock walking |

Gusock is an isopod, not a pillbug. Both right.  "Pillbug" is what North Americans call woodlice. Woodlice are within Isopoda. |

That's really cool. So it has a walking mechanism separate from the rolling. That's different from Valga, unless I'm misremembering? I'd assumed it was effectively just a re-issue of Valga, but this looks like there must be some different, and pretty clever, new engineering going on. |

Both are cool models, but the Stego's weapon looks like it is supposed to be more like a buzzsaw than a leisurely fan. Love the Gusock!

Seems like the Gusock is stealing the show of this next wave. Caught up to ep 8 of the anime. Didn't realize that Gannontoise was not a tortoise-type, but a "Proganochelys" which I had to look up (thanks for the subs Falcarius!). It's such a cool animal! First, the name means forward-brightness-turtle, which already sounds halfway like a Zoids name. Second, it had all these spikes covering the limbs, neck, and tail... man I wish that were incorporated into the design more prominently. Whenever I get around to buying and building one I might take inspiration from the fossil restorations:

/video/1
As I expected, it appears not to be like Valga (as in crawl crawl, roll) but wind-up walking and manual roll (as in throw it yourself)
I suspected it a while ago when I came accross a picture, and this kind of settles it I guess.

I saw those early this morning on YJ. Really need to pick them up but will old off until I get the November releases squared away. Those LEDs will be perfect for my BCG König Wolf and assorted other Zoids. |

But the assenble models...Im going to pass. I need to stop buying spinoff things, hahaha.

For me the legs still look too short. It's like they stuck a duck's legs on a T. rex. |
