1801 - Zoids HMM Buster Tortoise (OOB Review)

[@TheDorkgetreal]

The dangles are shackles, for towing.

[@RedWolf777SG]

Also called Tow Hooks.

[@nicolastorres3229]

Cool tortoise, but it isn´t a unicorn destroyer mode recolor. too bad.

[@RoMFinishTheFight]

If you can find it for a good price I recommend the hmm death stringer

[@traidahhsien7378]

Awesome review! And glad to hear you mention Zoids Wild! That series really needs more exposure so any mention is greatly appreciated! :D Feel like grabbing a Buster Tortoise now! And as always, that background music is soooo Zechssss!!!!

[@foxdee85]

The issue with Zoids wild is.. it doesn’t “feel” like ZOIDS. Where you can see cockpits for the pilots and operators. While most of zoids wild figure, we can literally see the pilots or operators mounting on the zoids. It’s just my two cents worth of thoughts really

[@traidahhsien7378]

@@foxdee85 Fair enough, but as someone who knows the lore about Zoids never having cockpits to begin with, I can dance with Zoids Wild :) I find it more enjoyable to watch than Zoids Genesis and their entire cast of lame characters

[@foxdee85]

@@traidahhsien7378 unless it goes back to the pre-wars time.. then prolly the cockpit isn’t an element of zoids. Like Zeke is considered as an organic zoids where it can fuse with mechanicals like liger. If they tell a back story of zoids via zoids wild, prolly then, I can understand why the operators or pilots mounting them like on horses.. :) For me, Zoids series is pretty limited in my area. I started off with Zoids chaotic century where there’s an ongoing war between empire and republic. And that’s that. Haven’t ventured into other zoids series. I’ll only go for the models! You should intro me the timelines so I can go hunt for the series on KZbin! :)

@@foxdee85 No problem my brochacho :) You must watch Zoids New Century! Chaotic Century and New Century are the two flagship titles of the franchise. :)

great revive. It's always good to see a zoids kit related video. Also the command wolf and its variation are very cool and very good content material to review too.

[@karloverg]

Try the geno saurer and lightning saix kit.

[@calvinj7496]

I would love to see this in a blastoise color scheme

[@aliasangelalias]

Question, can a Takara Tomy Diaclone V2 Dianut Pilot fit inside the cockpit or inside of the middle of the tortoise?

[@BLAZE084]

My brother built the Takara motorized Iron Kong which looked pretty badass when we were kids. I don't know if the Koto version is the same or better (probably better in terms of details and molding) but that Zoid was impressive once finished!

[@hanzohattori2492]

it's better.

[@willjohn1117]

We need more HMM reviews!

[@antonylynn7783]

Is your set up big enough for the Gojulas? :)

[@hanzohattori2492]

no.i have it and can NOT see it fitting in

[@gadobuldog4894]

Please do review zoids hmm lightning saix, its a cool model kit for cat lovers 😘

[@MuShinnen]

One of my favorites in terms of design. Good taste.

[@hanzohattori2492]

true.

[@eomersimbajon2938]

you have to try the geno saurer and geno breaker! theyre both awesome HMM kits. not to mention intimidating as well!

[@LlewelynReswald]

Any version of the HMM Blade Liger, Dibison, and Lightning Saix 👌🏻

[@victorm.5092]

I recommend the storm sworder. Its quite great.

[@jersn5560]

Nostalgia at its finest. I am still waiting for the HMM Koenig Wolf though...

[@blackbird7781]

The HMM zoids line got cancelled

[@cheesie1584]

It's totally a mega blastoise gun cannon hybrid

[@BigYabai]

I'd love to pick up some Zoids kits, particularly the Liger Zero and its CAS units but they're quite the investment compared to the average HG or even MG.

[@blackbird7781]

They only cost so much nowadays cuz the HMM zoids line got cancelled

[@jasoncallair5171]

Check out the shadow fox.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

one Zoids kit that you should review is the Gun Sniper Leena Special. it's a raptor with tons of guns and it carries around a shopping basket full of explosives. www.dalong.net/review/kotobukiya/z24/z24_p.htm

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

This isn't made to be posable, it's made to look like a bfg. and it accomplishes that well.

[@markongchangco1537]

Doesn't this have like a "siege mode"?

[@vustvaleo8068]

so the increase in price along with the limited numbers due to temporary production halt is because of Zoids Wild? man that is kinda hilarious when you think about it.

[@hanzohattori2492]

I don't think it has anything to do with zoids wild...they are 2 COMPLETELY different lines with nothing to do with each other...it's just the way kotobukiya operate and have always operated...they will do a line of kits for a few years and then stop making them for a while and then reissue them again...trust me the hmm line has NOT being "cancelled" as some seem to think....also takara tomy has been making their own zoids for years

[@blackbird7781]

@@hanzohattori2492 dude don't lie. No the line was cancelled for real. And when a line stops for a while that doesn't mean it was halted. That means it was cancelled, and then brought back. Its not halted if it stops for a while. Trust me. Dont be a fool

They honestly look like stickers, and ZakuAu also routinely uses WSDs so I'd be surprised if he mistook WSDs as stickers.
