The hell? What IS this? An action figure, it looks like, but for what?
Those colors are ugly.
Wait, this is a Koto Shieldy base... Really, what the hell is this?
...Her proportions are terrible.

Well, upon reading it at ZPH I don't know if they girl or the zoid is the one being advertised here. Does anyone know how to read japanese text? Need translator here ;D EDIT: Based on the good people of ZPH. The girl is the one being advertised. The Brastle is a custom  |

What else did you guys think "Takaratomy 1/72 scale plastic kit remodeling" meant?  And what do you mean by "advertised" Kyubigan? |

From the custom and the outfit it looks like a zoids in space series to me.
Just the feeling it gives, kinda Gundam Seed'ish.
That outfit really resembles a mechanical counter pressure suit. It even has a structural support for the lower back where the body is concave. A very important part of that style of space suit.

No no, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not criticizing you or anything, I'm just wondering what you mean when you say "advertised" because I really don't know.

Jeez...she makes the old SRDX's look tasteful and well-proportioned by comparison. Is she a Zoid pilot or a porn star  The custom is interesting, very well done. But couldn't the builder have picked some nicer colors...that scheme is just flat out ugly. |

The Brastle is... colorful! And the girl is.... uh.... .... well, she may need surgery in order to prevent low back problems. I hope she gets the help she needs.
Still, the build is very well done. On the tiger. Um. Nevermind.

She also lacks the seeming camel toe of a few figurines too so big bonus there She's also thicker built than a lot of SRDXs too oddly enough. Character art was somewhat better proportioned than that though, the arms were built a bit thicker. And yes, Zoids Frontier is a new series. To quote my friend in a convo from a while back:And before anyone starts gibbering, that is not an HMM Fox nor a concept or suggestion or anything like that. It is very simply a recoloured Fox, possibly slightly modified via jointing. And am I the only one who notes that the Brastle's colour scheme is like that of the Bio Volcano? |

I'm expecting some protests demanding refunds in the near future. Probably along the lines of the figure's top-half being too top-heavy, making it fall of forward and snap the figurines back in two. 0_o
Hopefully this isn't being marketed towards the younger majority of fans...
And the proportions are WAY off.
And I feel ill now.
Gosh, now I need a lobotomy to get that dreadful thing out of my head.

Yup, I don't know if Japanese are gearing towards Western fascination of woman's body parts. If you were to looked at the Gundam series in the 70's and 80's, the women is those series didn't had much, now if you look at the latest Gundam 00 there's more than plenty with the women in that series.
But I not a anime figurine guy; now can someone please ask TT to release more new Zoids, I sure even this Brastle Tiger can draw some interest (not just another LZ in different colors).

Well, where to begin...
The Tiger is interesting, to say the least. I actually kinda like the colors. Looks like at least some of its guts are Koto (the shoulder joints) so maybe it's a spinoff line? Preview of things to come? Certainly couldn't be a bad thing.
As for the figurine... let's just say they're personal shield generators, and leave it at that. They, uh... compensate for the stylish, form-fitting body-armor. ;D [But they smother the control console... oops.] Talk about overkill.
And look! She stole Kotana's superboots (how do those things bend, anyways....?)

And the proportions are WAY off. And I feel ill now. So you've not seen any of the SRDX series nor the upcoming SRDX SP Celica Lucraft? And for what it's worth, figurines generally don't snap, they bend. It's a common problem in larger figurines and generally occurs at the ankles. Most zoids figurines to date have been 6 inch or smaller and for the most part have been solidly built (cept the likes of Riize/Rease) so bending isn't a real problem. |
