Is that a different Wild Blast?

Oh, interesting! The gimmick is the same but the pincers have a couple extra spikes on them. Wouldn't have noticed before!
Also digging the colors tbh. It's our first Wild kit and I appreciate not getting another blue/green/red kit. Would love that holotech color for a limited Tiger armor or something.

Personally I think it's fugly... I remember people giving Tricera flack for being yellow but this one takes the cake. I like the idea of the holo parts, BUT the whole rehash schtick is getting old fast.
Within the ZW line there were allready a lot of rehash kits (Raptor, Raptoria, Dilofos, GilRaptor, Pachy, Liger, Fang)
At least for Gil/Pachy and Liger/Fang it was the base but the result was a different Zoid. The whole Raptor thing doesn't sit well with me as the base was poor to begin with, making a crappy Dilofos.
As a business model I get it, cheap rehash, low R&D.
But the direction the ZW Zero line is going so far is in my opinion underwhelming.
Churn out all sorts of different colors, and ugly too (this and that gold Liger are just hurtful to look at) and slap on two extra parts..
Rerelease all ZW kits but now without eyes but with sort of visor things. Meh..
I like Cannon Bull because he looks cool, Sniptera is a nice build (looks wise not completely without issues) but a lot is going to be just that, recolor, rehash.
I liked the new kits as they can do a lot of other animals, this just feels lazy.

Personally it annoys me when something meant to be a blade is done in transparent colors, unless it's meant to represent being made of energy or something. Clear solid materials come off as brittle to me, and in Zoids lore they're generally either cockpit materials or something involved in ray-absorption. Just another thing that makes Wild Zoids seem related to SS Zoids I guess, which is intriguing in its own way

I don't like "crystal" and "holotech" stuff. I can look at transparent kits as art, but not as cannon.

Recent leaks have shown a new picture of this guy.  |

Also not to keep whining, but it's a particularly odd choice to have clear orange parts on a kit with non-clear orange parts. Just as strange as a lot of the old Zoids2 looked with chrome and non-chrome parts of the same color on the same kit, but even worse.
And when a zoid with a big pincer on its face has an extra weapon of.... another big front-facing horizontal pincer... when exactly is that going to be of use?

Notice that the did clear with non-clear on both Energy Liger and the special edition Storm Sworder. I don't mind if they are intended to be beam weapons, but that would require some paint... or more pieces to depict solid and beam components.

Is that a different Wild Blast? Not really. The clear blade parts look to be different from the Kuwaga's, and the arm pieces they're attached to may or may not be different, hard to tell from these pictures. But it's the same concept. Anyway, this one's a resounding "meh" from me. |
