That's one question thats bothered me since I started collecting... And which factory did you visit? And (finally) does this mean that Hasbro is releasing a Trinity liger, or did you modify the molds? Sorry about all the questions, but as they say, 'Knowledge is power.'

So your dad flew you to Hong Kong, stopped a production line, and let you use an industrial mold machine to make a couple parts? actually i was visiting my dad in hong kong,see i live in america but i was visiting him in hong kong.so i went with him to where he works which is at hasbro.he let me use a spare molder.

You know, assuming that by some chance this story is true (which seems more and more unlikely as each post lands on the board), what would access to an industrial injection molding machine achieve? Parts in different colors? Hardly worth a trip to HK, as spray paint works like a champ for the same thing. Additionally, most, if not all the current issue Hasbro kits seem to be pretty obviously marked "made in THAILAND", not HK. But oh well. Strange and exciting things happen to people all over the world, all the time. I have no reason to disbelieve you, nor do you have any reason to make up ridiculous stories to impress the board. So I will just have to reserve judgement until I see your pics. Oh, by the way... did you see any Oompa Loompas while you were at the toy factory? I hope you did, that would be sweet!

But doesn't it take a whole team of designers just to produce each part? You must have some serious skill!

Anyhows, if your dad works for Hasbro, I guess that means you have access to every Zoid ever made, access to future releases, and access to when the next Zoids are coming out? So, care to share some knowledge? Like what time this year they're going to release Cannon Caesar ?

I have a simplier question.
How about you describe for us the process you took in designing and building the molds for your parts?
