Excite says:

An elaborate design of Zoid is reproduced though it is a mini size in which it gets on the commodity explanation palm. Moreover, it walks while doing the action from original Zoid in the round by the chargeable battery of first Zoid. The body can play at once because it has completed (As for the arms parts, assembly is partially needed). As for the dorsal arms unit, there is interchangeability of "ZED-2 Gojurasmarinar" of the sale simultaneously and parts, and the action is added by the thing that is put and substituted. A special charger is a special decoration stand, and the thing moved for a long time is possible by the decoration of the terminal while tying.

So yeah. Rechargeable battery, charger coming as a special stand, ZED-02 is pretty much a glorified CP. Also note that this is listed as being for ages 15 and up.

So my question is, $25 for a glorified CP, or $25 for a windup version which would neuters the RC and the justification of the $50 price.

[adamassc]

yay. another Gojulas. Be still my ruptured colon. I blame this on all the people that didn't back the Neo-Blox. Because of you, we have to deal with yet another version of TomyTakara's favorite little money-maker.

You got new Tech, TT. Make something new with it.

Both it would seem. From what I've heard the Mariner variant is a windup but the Mariner parts go on the batt-opp version too.

[Tilly]

I don't care if it's another Gojulas (typed Gorhecks TWICE...) so long as they do something interesting mechanically with it. Neo Blox annoyed me because they had such a nice framework compared to the original Blox, but then went all reused parts and recolors. They could have done some cool things with them.

It has the CP-10 cannons. As Lionel said I have only seen pics and cannot confirm the specs that he has.

[ScissorBreaker]

are there supposed to be pics on that page? Because I see none.
I must say, I'm very disappointed. So, $25 for windup w/ cp-10, and $50 batt op without CP-10? That is, for lack of a better word, quijibo. What are they thinking!!!! GRRRRR!!!! I find myself wanting a minigoji w/ cp-10, but not for $25!!!

[Xehn]

SB, just grab an LB Goji. >>

[ScissorBreaker]

I have an LB goji.
oh, well. I probably won't get it. I would like to see what it looks like, though.,

[Xehn]

Then you HAVE a mini-Goji.

Just get the Mk-II for the CP-10....

[Maethius]

Ooooh.... speculation! Industry secrets!

Well, at least TT is getting some press. Truth is, no info is worth a source losing a privilage (or a job). I can wait for the official ads to run and will make up my mind when I see the product. As a collector of the 1/72 series, I probably won't get one unless it is something truly innovative and of high caliber. As someone who regularly shells out $100 to $250 on a Zoid, $50 isn't really an issue... it all depends on what I'm buying.

I shall wait patiently and pick away at my latest custom (when I have time to breathe!)

[WIKD]

OK I have been cleared:









I hope this is "news" , lol

[adamassc]

it definately looks intriguing. It almost has too much detail for its size, making it look kinda busy. While I still despise Gojulas and everything it stands for, I am interested to see where this line goes.

I also must learn to except that If nothing else, a 'new' Gojulas signifies a new Zoids line, and hopefully a new sniper.

[SkyKnight]

The details are there, but what will TT do with the "Evo" motor in the near future? Having a 1/3 scale of the OJR Gojulas doesn't mean from now on all Zoids will be down-sized just to use the new motor.

Perhaps it would be best to think the new motor as a stepping stone for a brand new motor for the third release of Zoids. (I guess I am dreaming too much!)

Hey WIKD or mods.

This thread is getting kinda long. Can you start up a new one, just about the ZED-1 Gojulas.
My two pennies: looks nice, but I'd have prefered an upgraded Godos rather than a mini Gojulas. C'mon TT - a bit of originality please. I'm also confused as to why ZED-1 says Switch on, but ZED-2 says Wind Up Still, its great to see some news, ANY news come out about Zoids.

Ha - I've just realised - they named a Zoid after me ! How cool am I ? ;D
