Upcoming from Kotobukiya in their Zoids HMM line, one of the ‘ultimate’ baddies in the Zoids anime, the Berserk Fuhrer. Proportions have been changed quite substantially from the original toy. It’s coming in August for 8,800yen.
Annnnd Kotobukiya has announced the heavily armored Liger Zero variant. It’s coming in June 2012 for 7,300 yen. Nice. Want.
As expected, Kotobukiya is due to release the Liger Zero Jager in Feb 2012. Priced at 7,000 yen (holy shit), it’s the high speed variant of the Liger Zero (Jager means ‘Hunter’ in German).
I’m still waiting for the Liger Zero Panzer (the heavy armed variant). In the meantime, more pictures on Hobby Search here.
Man… nice…

Somewhat out of the left field but a welcome one as Genesis Climber Mospeada is one of my favorite anime of all time. On a sidenote, this anime was adapted into the last third of the American series, Robotech.
Anyway, being 1/72 I think it’s going to be pretty small but it looks to be very detailed. I hope Wave will release Thread, the bigger support mecha.
DAMN… this looks good. If they fixed the hop-up/accuracy issues that their earlier guns suffered from, it’ll be so cool to skirmish with.
Still waiting for their MP5 since VFC’s MP5 doesn’t stop firing (not without modifications) after the last round. Pity.
Kotobukiya is set to release Godos, the Helic Republic’s grunt unit in November @ 4,200 yen. Expensive for such a small-sized Zoid, but I like the updated looks without resorting to drastically changing from the original kit (unlike say, the Cannon Tortoise). It’s going to come with different weapon options too, with either twin cannons or a larger single cannon.
Anyways, yet another must buy for me. I’m a Zoid slut after all.
