Liger Zero Jager Review

First of all I would like to say sorry for the lack of updates lately. As some of you may know I have move to a new city and I have been really busy work and stuff and haven't had as much time to work on my models as much.
Anywho, for you Zoids fans out there, I did mange to put together the Liger Zero Jager. This kit was a real treat to work on. The overall constructing of the kit is very nice. Unlike most HMM kits which are known to have parts falling off quite easy, I find this kit to be quite stable overall. I still do have the odd part come off, but nothing to drive you crazy.
As for poseable and movement, this kit is highly stable and has a good range of movements making it very easy to pull off any pose you may like.
The nice thing about these Liger Zero kits is that you could just buy the basic Zero kit and just buy the CAS kits which are much cheaper overall, but if you are like me and would rather have all three CAS out at once then your force to buy the complete kits.
Anywho, here are the pictures:

HMM Blade Liger Review

Here is a little preview for the HMM Zoid Blade Liger. The Blade Liger was my 2nd ever HMM kit, and when I open the box for the first time my mouth drop due to the sheer number of runners this kit had. I think I counted about 50 runners for this kit which the normal MG Gundam kit has about 8-14 runners, so it has alot of runners and is comparable to a PG Gundam kit for runners. So if you don't like building kits with lots of parts, this is not gonna be your type of kit.
As for the price, like the Liger Zero Panzer, the shipping for this kit is quite pricey and is close to the amount you pay for the kit itself which sucks. But if you think about how big and heavy it is, it is understandable for the shipping cost. If anyone knows of a good place to buy HMM Zoid's models in Canada or the US, please let me know as I would love to get more of these kits.
For the kit itself, if you love Zoids, or any type of model's in general, you will love this kit. It has detail comparable to a PG and it is quite big as well. It is also very poseable, but like other HMM kits, be prepare for stuff falling off on you. I had tons of issues of the boosters/blade area coming off the body when moving it around. It is a easy fix thou, I will most likely glue it on after I paint it, which will fix the issue.
Like I said before, this kit is quite big, and very heavy which kinda surprise me to a point, but when you think of all of the parts on it, it makes sense. It towers over the gunsniper in size and mass, and is a little shorter then the average MG, but is much longer and has a bigger mass.
I highly recommend this kit if your looking for a zoid model, you wont be disappointed.
Anywho, here are some pictures of the kit unpainted:

HMM Gun Sniper Leena Special Review

This was my very first HMM Zoid model the Gun Sniper Leena Special.One thing you will notice right away is that it is loaded with tons of weapons and takes the term overkill to a whole new level.
This was one of the smaller HMM kits as the Gun Sniper is a smaller Zoid compare to the Liger's and Geno's Zoids, which was nice as the shipping for it wasn't too crazy unlike some of the bigger HMM kits.
The detail on this kit is pretty nice, their will be some areas that will have to be mask and a few seams lines that will have to be fix if you what to paint it, but like the other HMM kits it looks very good.
It does have a few parts that keep falling off, but that is a common issue with most HMM kits . It is very back heavy and if it isn't stand up the right way, it will fall over, dues to all of the weapons mounted on it. Without the weapons, it is really stable, and will not fall over easy
It does have a great movement thou out the body which makes it quite easy to pose, but with the weapons on, it can be limited.
I haven't painted it yet, but I do plan too one day, but it will be awhile before I paint this as I have other kits I wanna do first and still have to finish.
Anywho here are some pics of the unpainted kit:

HMM Liger Zero Panzer Box Preview

Here is the Highend Master Model (HMM) Liger Zero Panzer made by Kotobukiya from the series known as Zoids. This bad boy just arrived at my home today. For those who have build one of the HMM will know that there is alot of parts to these kits, easily anyway from 30-50+ runners of parts, which is alot.
The level of detail on these kits are also great, I would say about or the same level as a PG Gunpla kit. They have great movement as well, so they can do pull off some really cool poses. One bad thing about them is that they often have parts falling off very easy, so a little glue may help you out if it gets really bad.
This isn't my first HMM kit, as I already have three more before this one. I have the Blade Liger, Geno Breaker, and Gun Sniper Leena Special. I made do a little preview for them one day down the road. I would love to have more of these as I just love the Zoids series in general, and that the HMM kits are just so nice. But because of the number of parts to these kits, the shipping can be really costly. The shipping for Liger Zero Panzer was almost the same as the price of the kit itself.......
I plan to get the other two versions of Liger Zero down the road, but I was looking forward to the Panzer the most of the three, which is way I made it my first one. =D The Liger Zero Panzer is the most heavily arm out of the three, which you can tell by the massive amount of weapons and missile pods located thru out it's body.
Anywho here are some pictures of it's box and the manual:
