Where? Gah! How did I miss it! Proto Ptera is using Liger Zero X parts!  |

On the sides of the croc, holding up the weapons.. Those are the same parts you attach to Demons Head's head to put the Maguneizu Spears on. On the Ptera, the back of the wings.. Those things look awfully like Savinga's Wing Slashers.. I also just noticed that Proto Croc uses Night Wise pieces as well. Nope, I don't think so.  |

Okay.. The things I thought were Savinga parts are actually LZX parts.. Same with the crest.
and Croc has Night Wise toes on the cannons.

I like the Gojulas and croc the best. The Red Horn is pretty neat too. The big dino fusion, what ever it's called, is also cool. Everything else is... okay.

Okay Andy, I believe you about the unison Zoids now, very disappointing though. Also, since when did Tomy start building prototypes out of parts from older kits? I'm starting to think these might not be prototypes but heavily remolded bastardizations, guess we'll have to wait and see.

it's not totaly unheard of. Rember we have pics of the early prottypes for the gravity zoids and the energy liger and they were made not to dissimilarly than this. I know that's primarily a hasbro example, but I also know of a time when Takara tried to propose the idea of super realistic car transformers (think Altenators but way before they came out) the peice the research teams used to show off the idea... was a car model with prime legs and a superion head attached. You can also look at the early pics of the first neo bloxs (the real pics that are with those illustrations) and see that they are fairly differnt.
So lets not jump the gun on this just yet.

I'm just saying, Tomy's never kitbashed prototype's before, so don't be surprised if the final products end of looking pretty much exactly the same.

Quick update: Rakuten has added these to its site. Retail for the 2 combiners will be about 20 bucks.

Me too. This new stuff is pure junk. I wouldn't want it if it was free.

I like Brave Jaguar and the frames the Neo Blox are built on, but the rest of the Zoids themselves...no. I think that makes it even more frustrating-that they could be doing cool stuff and instead we keep getting these things full of reused parts.
I want to try writing Tomy/TDP actual letters. They probably wouldn't even notice, but it might be amusing to see if I got a response :p.

It pains me to say it but it's got to the point where I think the Zoids line deserves to die. At least an end to the line would preserve some of its dignity.

I was allready thinking the same thing when the Fuzor were released. The Genesis line gave us a hope, but now, the only cool things come from TDP and the LTD line.

The Fuzors line was recolors, but at least they were shiny ones with different stickers-and you got the KW CPs and a Gorhecks with a standard weapons peg on it and a few other cool random things. Kind of like limiteds, but cheaper.
