That's pretty neat. I wonder if tehre will be third-party reruns like the Souga armour?

Wow, pretty cool but disappointing that it's resin again. You guys might think I'm crazy for saying this but honestly I'd rather have super-posable Zoids than motorized Zoids. I don't play with my Zoids so having a motor really does nothing for me, I turn them on maybe once, several Zoids I've built have never been turned on. I display them on my shelves and they'd look a lot nicer on display if I could put them into really cool poses. -Pheno

Ouch, but cool. I wonder if it replaces the whole motor, or just the inside leg pegs and jaw clip?
I kinda hope in this case that there are bootlegs, because that's even expensive for resin. That amount of material should be closer to $70, especially when licensing isn't really involved for character likeness.

That is cool, but yeah, very expensive. Especially when compared to the KFM Zero that you can currently find for less than a quarter of that price!
I'm of mixed views here. Yeah, Zoids do lack in posability and I hardly play with mine either. Having said that, I think the motor is a crucial part and take great delight in observing the Zoids' mechanisms in action. Being very familiar with your website, Pheno, I know you do too!
What the majority of Zoids lack in articulation, they more than make up for in 'working' CPCs, swooshy tails, light-up eyes and off-centre fly-wheels!

For some of my zoids I've NEVER flipped the motors on and I love posing them in diorama type sequences and I very often feel disappointed that despite having some mobility, it's just not enough :/ I like the motors in them and yeah and I'm not saying that the super posables should replace the motorised but I'd just like a few more that I can actually "play" with xp

Thats a hell of a lot compared to the b club 1/100 scale gundam upgrades in resin. Pritty pricy. A superposable mursame would be good, but at that pricei ts debatable.

They need to make next-gen Zoids built like Gundams or at least Evas, the bland poses and limpsided-ness of Rex-types is getting a little old.

Yes, I never turn msot of my zoids on except ones like Storm Sworder just so the wings don't drooop, etc. Give me posability (without smelly shedyness preferably) any day!

I like that my zoids have the ability to move by themselves - and were designed with the constraint that they be mechanically feasible. The fact that I almost never even put batteries in most of them is somewhat irrelevant!

They just should of come out with a KF murasame liger instead of modifing the model (and paying $115!?!?!? for it). That's too much, in my opinion. I would rather the small scale version so I can display it next to the KF liger zero. ^^

I always wished that Tomy had gone farther with the KFM line than just the LZ and BF. They really dropped the ball by not making a Sturm Tyrann CAS for the BF and expanding the line; Geno Breaker, Storm Sworder, etc. Yeah, a KFM Murasame with interchangeable Hayate and Mugen armors, ala LZ's CAS's would be a really cool product. Like that would ever happen. Maybe it's just as well, they'de probably just price it way beyond reach of the average Zoid fan

Yeah, I've never actually turned the motor on for any of my zoids... but I've had a bit of success in making dioramas out of them and putting them in neat poses... takes a bit of customizing but it's worth the effort.. and it's better to display them that way..
taking that into consideration... $115 for equipment to pose your murasame liger.. uhm... nope.... I can find cheaper ways to do that, though to make a positive statement, I find nothing wrong with that either. If you're gonna spend that amount for a professionaly designed resin kit, then it's ok, i guess.
