The ULTIMATE test to a zoids strength!
Have you ever dropped a zoid? Did it surprise you with what damage it did - or did not - take? Tell us about it!
Part of the reason I don't mind having so many command wolves, is because my first was sitting on a precarious perch, got knocked over, and seemed to break to a million peices. I took it to my room and was surprised to find that the head fell apart in a Zabimaru-like way to avoid real damage. For the wolf to fall at least four feet and only take a small crack to the shoulder armour (which ultimately broke off when I had to move) surprised me, especially when I recall the innitial carnage.
And I literally JUST knocked Joule - my Energy Liger - off a chair. He flipped over onto his head, and I was certain something broke. It wasn't as an impressive drop as Knight Lupus, but I expected the highly detailed model to sustain SOME sort of damage, simply because it was so heavy. However, the horn fell out of the socket (I swear I have zabimaru zoids), and one leg fell out of place. Only the gold crest was damaged, and only by a slight stress-crick. Suprisingly, to me, Joule sustained no damage, despite being a heavy, and intricate model!
Though my complaints with my precious wolves, Knight Lupus' back-mount snapped only a few weeks of use. However, I would've had to send the entire model to Hasbro for them to ship an entire new model. I'm a sentimental freak, and wanted to KEEP my first ever zoid, not trade him in because of a broken nob. So I fixed it myself, before my age of superglue. I went through my box of nuts, bolts, screws and nails found alongside the road, and found a pristine screw. You can see it, *points* and it works pretty well. ^^
