...do you have a link to a Japanese site so I can get the last zoid's name? (preferably the original source of these images?)

Well, I am pretty happy with these on the whole.
Redhorn - agree about his head. It sticks out too much rather than being imbedded onto his shoulders. But it is Redhorn & it is small & cute, so I'll be having a couple of those. Wonder how long we have to wait for the Darkhorn LB.
Gojulas Mk2- That's ace- a vast improvement on the Gojulas LB. He even has the stabiliser!!
Birdthingy- Reasonable Blox effort, pretty cool.
IK PK- seems just like an artist's impression but looks well cool. Want to see a pic of the normal LB though.
To be honest, parts reuse doesnt worry that much as long as we keep getiting reasonable looking Zoids. BUT I really want some new "proper" zoids to go alongside these boys. Even if they are just reissues of rare OJRs like Zeekdober and Iceblazer or the Transfighters. There's no reason Tomy should just give these to TDP to release and not do it themselves...

The first wave didn't do anything for me when they were released, this is a small improvement.

Gojulas MKII's pretty cute. The PK just looks spiffy. As for the Red Horn, erm... I better keep that comment to myself.

I don't believe all that crap people say about Genesis being a "flop" and honestly I'm getting pretty tired of hearing it. gunliger - None of these comments are directed at you, they're directed at the ones who perpetuate this unsubstantiated rumor that Genesis flopped. -Phenotype phew... for a second there I was thinking I had said the wrong thing and ticked off the wrong person. My comment was basicaly just quoteing what I heard from other people and just flat not knowing enough of the full story (I'm still fairly new to zoids fandom) Personaly, I don't mind remolds and recolors. In transfandom we would kill to see remolds rather than just strait recolors that we usualy see. These new blox kits look pretty promissing I say. I imagine that ptera-type could make from some awsome custom wings or even a strait fussion. I also wonder if the Redhorn and the Iron Kong are gonna be the same sort of "delux" size catagory or if they'll be larger.

I assume they will be "Legend" Blox, like the previous Gojulas and Murasame Liger, more money for almost nothing extra....and where are the motorized Zoids?

Regarding that bir-.. Pteranodon. Pteranodon. Umm, I don't think you can attach unenlagia's hands like that on the tops of them, so this thing, if it uses parts, isn't going to re-use molds at all.. those have to be parts they cannibalized from existing zoids just to make the initial prototype.. Kind of the reverse of what happened with Brastle tiger, right? Its chest cannons..

...Well, I hate how his middle toes are up like that. And from what I see, they have the same toes as Unen's fingers.

I'm just reporting back what I read - the Genesis line did not do well on overall sales, and is regarded by a several Japanese and American toy commentatos and such to have been a realtive faliure (low sales, high amounts of remindered stock and the like). True, It wasn't a total flop per se (Consider how many new Zoids actually were released) but it certainly was no runaway success.
Now the NER, THAT'S a flop.
Anyway, onto the modles. The LB Redhorn loos sweet - I Notice the standard Empire Neoblox cockpit on the back. The Goj I'm irritated aobut, having allready gotten the LB Goju. This one looks to be much better, and the one I hsould have gotten. This leads me to wonder if the LB IKPK is the much prmised Kong or a seperate model again - and, if so, if its worth assing the LB Kong for the LB PK.
...and what's the odds they'll do a LB Darkhorn anyway?
Not much to say aobut the Birdything. It looks rather "meh" ish to me.

If they did a LB Dark Horn, think it'd have a NB CP-03?

You can't always believe what you read and honestly you're the only person on here who's ever claimed to hear this information. I'm trying to single you out but if you just heard that from someone over on ZoidFans I wouldn't really take it as fact. -Pheno
