Deathy's thoughts:
My first thoughts when I recieved this kit and checked out his colours was that he is a very beautiful kit. I love the light silver body and dark maroon red parts. He became my instant favourite of the Helcat variants.
A very nice and simple kit that only takes a few minutes to construct even when I was very careful with removing the parts from the sprues. He doesn't feature any extra articulated parts apart from the guns and his head that can be turned on their hardpoints. His cockpit is a simple clamshell style that is majorly featured on small Empire Zoids. When you wind him up and let him go, he walks at a nice steady pace. Just be warned that his stickers are a little difficult to apply properly, also some trimming may be needed in order to fit them properly on him.
He is a kit well worth owning if you're a vintage Zoids fan or a Helcat fan and willing to do a fair bit of searching for him. You can also find the OER version of it which is also the very same colour and have the very same style box with the obvious difference being the language it's printed in. As far as I know, his price varies a lot. You can either find him nice and cheap or find him a little dear. Otherwise, if you do like the colour but don't care about lines, you can find him in the Monthly Zoids Graphics line for a decent price. I would have bought the Graphics version but I love vintage Zoids, so I went for the OJR line.
