The Blade Liger has always been one of the iconic zoids from the anime Zoids The Chaotic Century and subsequently The Guardian Force. The anime is also one of my favourite animes which I watch when I was in primary school but it was quite long ago so I have forgotten some of its story. If you are wondering who is Bang, it is actually Van if you watch the english dub version of the anime.
Opening the box, you will see the runners. Nothing surprising here, if you are used to building gunpla. As you can see the pieces are already colored so you do not have to paint them if you do not want to. Here you can see sliver and gold pieces and the clear parts. There are springs provided as well.
The instruction booklet and the decal sheet here but it is strange that the instruction does not show you where to put the decals on. The Van, Fiona, zeke and the zeke fused zoid core are all painted, something seldom done in gunpla so good job to Kotobukiya.
This is my second HMM zoid and I am looking forward to building it. I am thinking of trying something new on it like weathering techniques, diorama etc. I hope that it will turn out well and hope that I will be able to finish it in time for the group build.
