CHOGOKIN RZ-041 LIGER ZERO

The package is a sleeve stacking specification that pays homage to the attachment and detachment of the zero unit. The inner box with the sleeve removed has a design that evokes the image of running in the wilderness of the motor-driven version released by TOMY (at that time).

"Type Zero" equipped with a zero unit on the lion-type Zoid "Liger Zero", which has various variations. In this itemAn arrangement that emphasizes the world view of "metal lifeforms"A glimpse of the intention can be seen in the cables that are stretched all over the body.

At the same time, the “real beast” likeness was pursued to the limit,The balance and joint structure of the whole body are designed based on the skeleton of a lion.It is Details will be explained in the body state,A structure that can reproduce the "twisting" of the limbsAlso, please pay attention to the fact that dewclaws (claws that do not touch the ground on the inside) are molded on the forelimbs.

After the whole body, let's focus on the details. Starting with golden fangs and claws,Die-casting is used for all parts of the body.This is also a specification that emphasizes the Zoid's "metal lifeform" feeling. The claws have sharp claws inside, and the tail with double wires allows you to freely create a silhouette.

The surface of the ZERO unit has a glossy gloss coat finish. Cable (upper image, inside the abdomen) copper, etc.Metallic paint is applied to the point,It further enhances the feeling of "metal muscle" of the body.

The Zoid Core is also painted metallic and can be attached to and removed from the chest.The pilot is shaped and gold-plated featuring the earliest versionis three-dimensionalized.Eyes light up with LEDHowever, by replacing the pilot seat with a special clear part, the light emission can be seen more clearly.

In order to respond to the action performance of the threat introduced from now on, the pedestal and struts were developed exclusively for this item. The prop is equipped with a mechanism that swings back and forth, left and right, and you can decorate it as you like, from a powerful pose where you step firmly on the ground of the planet Zi to a jumping pose full of dynamism.

First of all, from the body state. The silhouette changes at once from the time of type zero, and you can feel more animal-like and supple dynamism. The torso with a multi-section structure creates an organic silhouette that “curves” and “bends” the spine. The armor parts on the upper part of the torso are movable, and if you stand them up, it will give you the image of hair standing on end.

In order to reproduce the movements of the shoulder blades and tendons of a lion (feline), the frame that connects the torso and front legs (the part shown in green in the image above) isCombination of Base Drawer x Axis Movableconsists of In addition to swinging back and forth and bending the joints, you can also reproduce the movement of crossing the front legs. Also, by intentionally setting movement restrictions on the joints, it is also a point not to spoil the silhouette of the real lion.

The hind legs reproduce the movements of the animal's flexible "tendons"Uses a "twist mechanism"(Patent pending). When an animal moves its body, it reproduces the structure that twists diagonally from the back to the surface: bone → tendon → muscle.

There is also an axis movable frame at the base of the rear legs, and by closing the frame slightlyZoid-like form with a clogged torsoIn addition, when the frame is extended, the legs are kicked backwards into a relaxed pose,You can enjoy images of both motion and stillness.In addition, the part where the armor is attached to the shoulder can be moved back and forth for poses that make the shoulder look cool.

The booster attached to the back can be stretched vertically and moved freely, the wings can be deployed, and the linked booster extension gimmick is installed. You can adjust the position and volume according to the pose of Liger Zero. Such as the shaft that can be seen with the movement of the parts,Mechanical charm is condensed in the armor partIt is a place where you can understand well that it is done.

In this way, the bionics structure that builds the whole body x mechanical details and silhouette make Liger Zero with CHOGOKIN body lively and energetic.
Not to mention the familiar brave pose, but also a little cute side ...?
