Ban Dai Soul of Chogokin Liger Zero

[Snowflake]

What the heckies, guys? I shouldn't have to make a thread... Are we really that dead?
Somebody link news articles or find a better picture or whatever. Anyway this looks great, even though it's hard to get too excited about another massively overpriced third party liger zero

hey how does image attachment even work here anymore? seems we've hit our max? static.myfigurecollection.net/upload/items/large/1569802.jpg?rev=1655347111 anyway here.

It's just Chogokin, not Soul Of Chogokin. Not interested. I prefer the model kits over the action figures.

It looks really good, but I'm with BLZ94 here, I'm just not interested in action figures anymore. I bought the Yamato SL years ago, and I think for what it is, it's about as good as it possibly could be... and I spent three figures on it and always forget I even have it because I don't care about the thing. It's kind of exciting that Bandai's making a Zoids product, of course, and I'm sure it'll be excellent quality, but I also hope they don't somehow interfere with Kotobukiya's licensing.

Thanks for posting this! Some folks are only interested in the original toy kits, some the HMMs, but some folks like 'em all! ^_^

I certainly don't disagree it's hard to care about figures especially when there's so many and they're nearly all liger zero and shield liger, but I think the bigger issue is that Zoids are fun as a team, and you know the figures will never produce a whole large line, or be affordable

[Maethius]

I can see that, too. One of the reasons I struggled with kit color changes through the years was I lost the "team feeling" if you know what I mean. That's actually why my first customs were repaints... to make them look like they belonged on the same team!

Care to share with the rest of the class?

[bladeligerzero94]

This figure will retail for 32,000 yen. Ouch.

[Charlie]

Is it this one?

That is one huge range of motion, his head seems to be able to fold back to behind his shoulders..

[bladeligerzero94]

Fingers crossed for a Chogokin Berserk Fury.

I'll give it this; they have some really unique and effective ways to approach jointing, and the new angles to the armor get rid of the "flat, 2-D" aesthetic that I'm used to seeing. I actually like the direction they went with a lot of this.

But do you like it 300+ bucks worth? 🤔

Trying to get a handle on the scale. It might be larger than 1/72, as if that wasn't big enough for a SOC already.
