[Hanyoutai]

CoroCoro has announced their next 100 limited, a black, silver, and red Zero Grizis!

That looks really cool! A lot more interesting than the original colors.

Hanyoutai Can you say how the orders for these will work? I have no interest since I'm happy to just paint the regular release but was just wondering what the "100 limited" means.

[Hanyoutai]

They're limited to Japan, but are usually given out through Silver Peels, which are like scratch offs, except you use sticky tape to peel off the silver instead of scratching. Usually you have a task to complete on the card (like find 3 of a specific Kanji in X amount of tries) while totally not using a flashlight to cheat and if you complete the game successfully, you mail it in to the specified address for a chance to win. At the end of the campaign, they pick 100 lucky winners to receive the kit. As mentioned above though, these aren't accessible outside of Japan, and so far as I know, no deputy services handle this sort of thing (even those who handle in-store orders).

I shorten the names to CoroCoro 100 or 100 Limited for convenience, but it means that only 100 are distributed through the campaign. They sometimes reappear through other avenues, such as Death Rex Purple Dragon Form being sold through Shogakukan's mail-order site and a Normal!Wild Liger version of the Guren being sold at the World Hobby Fair. This is pretty rare, though.

Look what I got.




I'll be posting up a full-blown video review on Youtube hopefully at some point this weekend, though I don't really know what to say other than that I honestly think this is the more definitive version of the Grizis and it's too bad it's so ridiculously limited. This most certainly is not the start of me actually collecting these Corocoro variants, but I just couldn't pass it up.

Is "WOOT!!!!" still a thing?

Congraturation!!! It's pretty gorgeous, at least a lot better than the regular color. I still have some issues with that design but somehow it feels better if you think of it as part of the grade-up zoids era.. Wild has a lot in common with that overall

If anyone here knows enough Japanese to translate what it says at the top left here, I'd really appreciate it. The Katakana says "Zero Grizis" and "Armor Parts Kit", that much I can figure out, but Google Translate seems to have a hard time on the Kanji next to the name - it seems to say "Dark Form", probably?

Yeah, it's Dark Form~ Sorry for not updating this in the post sooner. Should be added now. And congrats on obtaining it! Funny enough, it seems this is what we almost had. The build review video for Zero Grizis showed some of the concept art, and it was mostly with the black armor.

[Darth Escargot]

One of the things I'm going to talk about in my review is how the black armor really goes better with the grey and gunmetal parts. I was wondering about that already when I built the standard one, plain grey and silver seems like a really odd combination - like they originally had another armor color planned and changed it at the last moment.

Video's up in my review thread... thanks to Hanyoutai for some of the info I'm using here.

[Darth Escargot]

Sorry to keep spamming this thread, but given how little Google Image Search turns up for this one, I thought I'd post the pictures I took for the video. I meant to write a blog post for them, but Wordpress is basically broken now, so that's not happening any time soon.

Spam away! The photos look amazing. The Dark Form really does look amazing. I like the way the purple carries on the armor, breaking up the color palette a bit.

How is the black not the regular color?

The white looks pretty bad by comparison. These shots are AMAZING by the way
