Figure Review
- 03 Blade Liger
Blade Liger is one of the most elusive of the Zoids Figure Collection. It's pretty sizable for these rubber-ish figures, much bigger than the smaller gachapons. The quality isn't bad either, of a static figure. If you get the oppertunity to grab one of these I'd highly recommend you do so. They become rarer with time, and it took me quite a few months to realize that they even had these.
- 05 Geno Saurer
The Geno Saurer is a nice addition to the Figure collection. The paint details are excellent for a small figure with every vent accurately painted and even the eyes added in. It seems just a little thick in the arms but that's really a trivial detail.
- 08 Rev Raptor
Rev Raptor was a surprising addition, since its never been a very popular Zoid. In general the detailing isn't quite as impressive as the others, with almost every single cap bleeding out into the rest of the body. I also thought the whole thing was a little too wide but this may be necessary for proper balance. Nothing that would make me discourage buying, just not the best of the group.
- 07 Storm Sworder
The Storm Sworder is one of the best looking Zoids of the bunch, but maybe that's just because of the beautiful silver colors. The details are nice and don't warp is badly as some of the other Zoids, and since the colors are all neutral they don't show paint mistakes nearly as bad.
- 04 Zeke
Zeke is the of the most common and easiest to find figures, but it's also very cool having a larger figure of the Organoids. Paint quality varies and in one of my figures, which was received MISB it still had a pretty marred up left leg. This is less noticeable on the actual Zoids whose details tend to hide such mistakes, but on the Organoids it stands out.
