Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
I’ve always preferred aquariums over zoos… but even so I’ve always hoped to visit a safari park one day! ε=(｡・д・｡)
Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the animal-like automation with amazing articulation…
ZOIDS SHIELD LIGER!
The trump card invented by the Republic to combat the Empire’s unrelenting attacks. The Shield Liger boasts both high maneuverability and powerful defensive capability, and it has now been sculpted as a 1/72nd scale articulated figure by threezero. The E-Shield around the mane area and radiators to cool down the entire body after high speed movement have been sculpted with the utmost detail, and the weathered paintwork shows just how intense the battles with the Empire have become. Full articulation based on the ZOIDS concept art allows for amazing poses. Everything comes together to bring out the Zoids universe in a truly realistic way. The figure also features light-up eyes and an openable cockpit. |
Whoa… it’s awesome!! (ﾟДﾟ)
Just look at the incredible paintwork…
You can see this Zoid has been through a lot of hectic battles!
But the paintwork is definitely not the only thing that’s incredible… just look at all the detail on… on everything!! ((((；ﾟДﾟ)))))))
Plus it doesn’t just look great… it’s also a fully articulated action figure that can be posed in all sorts of different ways! You can pick exactly how you want to have him on display! ♡
Definitely a rather cat-like appearance! (ΦωΦ)
Even though it has such a mechanical, powerful appearance…
It still has a kind of cute side too! (ﾟＡﾟ;)
– Posed playing with a ball! –
Along with the arms and legs, the radiator on the side of the body and the hair-like parts can also be moved!
Plus it also comes with a few secrets! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ
To better show exactly how this looks, I needed to head into a slightly darker room…
It’s fitted with a light-up cockpit! Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)ﾉ
The whole cockpit area glows a lovely blue!
Oh, and the cockpit can also be opened! ☆
It’s a little hard to see in the dark…
let’s head back into the light for a better look! (；・∀・)
Once again… the cockpit can be opened! ★
You can even see the detailed little pilot sitting inside the cockpit! (*´Д`)
The Shield Liger is also probably bigger than you think! Let me get some friends here for some size comparisons! ♡
What a strangely relaxing scene… （*´▽｀*）
Although quite big, it’s also a lot lighter than I expected, making it quite easy to play around with! If you prefer to just have it on display, it looks steady and heavy! You can even pose her with other strange combinations for some interesting scenes!
Something to celebrate the 30th ZOIDS anniversary with! (｀・ω・´)
ZOIDS SHIELD LIGER!
It’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!
Bonus Photo! Gazing out the window at the Skytree!
The combination of the mecha appearance and night scenery seems to match nicely! The release photos you’ll see tomorrow are all very dynamic and filled with energy… my blog photos were much more natural and relaxed… like a kitty should be! (｀・ω・´)
If you’re looking for the more epic side of the Shield Liger, be sure to check the GSC site tomorrow!
If you can’t wait I’ve got some good news! You can also take a look at this YouTube video for a 360 degree view of the ZOIDS SHIELD LIGER! Take a look:
