Oh awesome! So glad they changed the leg designs from the Shieldy and Blady. I'm intrigued to see better views of the tail gun and boosters :3
I have a feeling that the Yamato Shieldy will be expensive since it's die-cast :/
and CHIBI GRIFFON!!!!!!! <3

First thought: HMM LZ looks awesome and is a definite buy! ;D
I like the subtle differences between it and the original TOMY model, anyone notice the cockpit opens only the white part of the head and not the black and head piece? Just though it was interesting.
Though the legs are a bit lanky, they aren't folded up like the other HMM quadrupeds, so they ain't going to be so bad, I think. Though my only concern is the armor on the front legs, with the added piece at the bottom I'm concerned it will inhibit the movement of the front ankles.
Quick question? Does anyone know if Koto has begun including stands? The same stand was included in Saix photos (and I don't think they were used in photos before Saix). They would be a cheap yet welcome add on.
Oh and I intend to be a more frequent poster, sorry about the past 8 months or so, school and work was crazy. ^^;;;

Hey glad to see you back Kitsune! ^^
Yeah I really liked how it was just the white part that was the cockpit door and I liked how they designed the top armor piece on the head. Kinda looks like the design they did for the Zero Hailstorm/X.
And what you were saying about the ankles, looks like they made the bottom part of the piece fold back instead of down in the original. Hopefully it will be just as poseable as the others. I like the lanky legs, it's more lion accurate, but it makes the shoulder armor look odd, idk. Can't be any more thin than the HMM Saber Tiger's legs XD
That would be cool if they did add stands like how some of the gundams do. Would make sense for LZ for people to pose out the Strike Lazer Claw cheapattack move.

lawl cheapattack. KITSUNE! Hey!  Like Kitsune (And then Shadow) said, I do like the cockpit redesign... Makes more sense and seems less like a weapon when it's opening (remember the first episode of NCZ? Strike laser hatch!) I can't wait for clearer photos... I was kinda meh on the idea of HMM zero (since good god, I have crapton of LZ parts from lot prowling!), but it certainly looks smexy. :3 Speaking of Liger Zero, any one know which release has the pearly white LZ? The chassis I used for Palkia and Black Phantom weren't pearly, but when I was browsing through my parts for a kit massacrebash, I found I have a basic LZ chassis whose white is a gorgeous pearl-ivory colour instead of bland flat white.  |

Oh yeah I know what you're talking about. I don't think the chassis had the same pearl though. I think it was just off white since it's just painted on. It's been awhile so i danno :/ |

Can't wait to see what that fella looks like in colour, should be much nicer. that cockpit is bizzarre wonder why they decided to cut it short like that!? the legs do look a lil' lanky but they do so do most HMM's , can look less lanky with a nice pose i found either way he's looking cool enough for me to buy straight away, am looking forward to it's release  |

*Pokes Kitsune* Welcome back ^^ In regards to the Liger Zero, I've got mixed feelings about it. I think I need more views of the final coloured version to be fully sure. But based on this picture, my instant worries are with the legs and the tail. I don't like the way the legs look. They're far too long. And my worry with the tail is whether of not it's going to have the Shieldy/Bladey problem... Judging by these pics, it looks like it will  But yeah, I'll say more when better pictures come out... |

lol I was over excited about the really long legs since it's my style XD My guess is that they were basing them off of a real lion/tiger. Either way I'll take them over the Shieldy/Blady's any day.

Even a real Lion/Tiger doesn't have legs that long... Seriously... the length of the forearm armour , coupled with that horrendous lack of any armour between the elbow and the shoulder armour, makes it look like someone put the Liger Zero in a rack!

Yeah the shoulder armor pieces make it look odd. I think all of us pointed that out. The femur is long like that, but instead of the humerus being shorter, they just made it as long as the femur to match since zoids don't have the scapula part :/

I seriously cannot see how you like them SB. Give me the Shieldy ones anyday of the week.

lol! Yeah this is when you know you've researched and design way too many zoids! XD Of course the Sheildy is the exact opposite where the made the femur and fibula the size of the humerus, leaving the metatarsals looking really odd. So pick your poison: weird looking metatarsals or weird looking humerus X3
