[ Liger Zero Elephander Shield Liger Berserk Fury Shadow Fox * ]

On my trip to NYC I picked up 2 Zoids. The first one I put together was the Shadow Fox. Both of the models were imports, so the boxes are a bit different.

Figure 2: All in stride

Fantasy Situation
Looking at the box, I can only imagine that it has similar comments on it as the USA distributions. Behold the majestic arctic fox running around in the woods. This is definitely a fantasy shot, as I noticed that it was necessary to remove certain joints linking the front legs to the back ones in order to get the model in the same position. Perhaps I should by more models so I can break each one and put it in a different position.

Do what now?
So I thought this model would be pretty straight forward. However, when I started through the instructions.. it got rather confusing fast. I just had to trust in my ability to identify non numbered parts by shape. Note the three parts below only identified through Japanese words.

In the end I just got good at staring at pieces and trying to figure it all out as best I could before I did anything permanent. Not sure how permanent snap together parts can be. Some were just really hard to pull apart when I mixed things up

Figure 5: 17 parts??

Isn't that cute...
This model was a little smaller than the others. This mostly meant that I had to put together tons of tiny parts into a slightly larger chunk. I took a lot more pictures of the other models as I made them. They built up rather quickly. This one, I would spend a half hour or more putting lots of tiny parts together. Not very satisfying. I made sure to take lots of breaks and eat snacks. I was rather partial to fun size candy (Halloween being around the corner). I had been staying away from the Reese's Sticks candy. What was I thinking?!?!? Yum!

What are you talking about?
My in ability to comprehend Japanese made the Zoids Fan Book Volume 4, rather useless too. It had nifty pictures that people had sent in of things they had made by putting models together into sort of hybrid versions of the models you can buy. Some of them looked neat. Over all I was just glad that there were people out there that seemed to be way too into the concept of building zoids. With any luck the people I am referring to, are not aware of my website. It would give them ample justification for saying the same about me. I was mostly amused by the whole thing.

Figure 7: Choking hazard?

Especially this reoccurring icon. It looks like Pac-Man crying because he is biting a square pellet. From this I can only assume that the Japanese associate all icons to some sort of Video game equivalent. I will have to spend some time coming up with good graphics for other safety warnings.

I'm going to blow up the earth...
On the back of the box there are two odd things. One is a set of pictures showing things from other models on the Shadow Fox. I suppose that if you have lots of these models you can find lots of neat things that stick on the back of the them. Too bad I have no clue which moels some of those refer to. Again my inability to comprehend Japanese has foiled me again. Did I mention that Reese's Sticks are totally yummy?

Speaking of add-ons. I had a tough time not buying the armor packs to make my Liger Zero into a its three other modes Jager, Schneider and Panzer. They had all three up in NYC. Each cost as much as a whole model. I couldn't justify paying for the equvalent of new clothes for my models. No matter how cool this picture makes the Liger Zero Jager and Liger Zero Schneider look, I can't give in... can't give in. Must eat more Reese's Sticks...

Progress
I really didn't keep track of how I built this one. I did spread it out over about a week though. Just worked on a little bit at a time.

I call the big one Bitey
If there is anything consistant from zoid to zoid. They all seem to have nice teeth. Even though this one didn't have the motorized biting action. I still think he's got a good grin on him. Too bad his ear kept falling off.

Chaaaaarge it!
I was a little frustrated when it came to getting this thing moving. See this zoid is not battery powered. It's a wind up. I had a heck of a time figuring out where the wind up key was for this. The instructions just had something in Japanese and a picture of something that I could only asume was the key. It looked familiar but there were no parts left to snap off. Once I did some shape recognition and looked around for lost parts, and ate a taco, I found the key in the tail of the fox. It was pretending to be a gun or something. I suppose there were some good Japanese explainations for how to find it without eating a taco. But I just have to do things my own way sometimes.

I was pretty impressed with this model. It was a lot cheaper than some of the others. I suppose that is because it lacked the electronics of the others. All in all It had lots of moving parts good movement, and nots of shiny bits. I think you can't go wrong when you make something shiny. Only thing I didn't like about it was the color. In the show it was black, not dark blue.

Next model... the Blade Liger

You may have noticed that the headings for each section were a little odd. Each one is a quote from a cartoon. See if you can guess each one.. send me and email with your guesses for the cartoons associated with:
