How long did it take you to figure that out? The've been dumbasses ever since they decided not to use the original boxart, and those ugly Beyzoids.

They've had an amazing amount of mistakes in their Zoids line. Shadow Fox assembled incorrectly on the box, Liger Zero X with Republic symbols on the box, they forgot to include a pilot with red Blade Liger, the list goes on. That's why they need to hire me as their Zoids consultant, then these sorts of errors wouldn't happen. -Phenotype

It also says "Herric Republic." That's why they need to hire me as their Zoids consultant, then these sorts of errors wouldn't happen.
No kidding! Hasbro really needs to get all this straight.

I find the plastic and the motors of their model kits to be of inferior quality as well, though it may be just my imagination. My Red Horn and my Barigator, for example, walk more quietly than their Hasbro counterparts.

Hey Dano, how did you get that image on your sig, I tried using the whole <img src=""> deal it didnt work I just sent you a PM on how to do it. I hope it helps. I'm anxious to see your sig since you've been trying to get it up for awhile now. I find the plastic and the motors of their model kits to be of inferior quality as well, though it may be just my imagination. My Red Horn and my Barigator, for example, walk more quietly than their Hasbro counterparts. Yes, my models keep breaking. Zaber Fang's piece that holds the lower jaw on has broken and I can't glue it back together... The two pegs that hold on one of Liger ZERO X's blades broke as well. Inside the blade piece. As for the motors. They are extremely loud. Barigator is very loud for a wind-up. Not that I know what the Japanese version is like. I only have Hasbro Zoids...

I have quite a few Japanese zoids (not as many as Pheno, but a few). The plastic is the same quality since both are made in the same place, just shipped to different countries ( I think Korea or China). The only zoid I've had trouble with is my Command Wolves. The Cp-04 is very fragile.

Yeah., broke the CP-04 on my Hasbro Command Wolf (AC).
Back to Hasbro., in their defense, Iron Kong. Cheap PK weapons for everyone, wheee! Plus, depending if Tomy rereleases them as well in non bad colors, Dead Boarder and some grade ups. Yeah, awful colors, but easier to paint a Zoid then buy one on eBay for a few hundred dollars.
But., the sloppy mistakes are inexcusable. Heck, the Energy Liger manual has a nice little Helic insignia on it. Come on Hasbro, you don't have to even be a Zoid expert, or even a fan. Look at box. Look at manual. Compare. Ultrasaurus, Tyranosaur type? Come on, just pay someone $6 an hour to look at a Tomy box, then a Hasbro box, and raise the price of all your Zoids by a few cents, I'll pay a (little) bit more.

Hasbro is just making zoids for little kids. Don't they know were are in our teens or older!

Kids still probably make up a lot of their market...but you should always cater a bit towards the older, more dedicated fans, who are less fickle and likely to stay with you if you don't majorly mess up.
