One of the latest Kotobukiya Lab blogs gave us a big break-down on the design details of the new Zoids Aggressive line, including some of the gorgeous design settei for Murasame.
ZA basically is set to be a bridging point for ‘light users’ (aka novices to higher end gunpla builds like HMM), retaining the extreme detailing where possible while offering a stable action figure, so that anyone can experience and enjoy these detailed zoids even if they’re not skilled at building them. It’s literally King of Movement 2.0.
They also expressed they didn’t want to go anywhere near the Tomy original-style when it came to making something robust, hence why they’ve gone for hyper detailed figure with jointing vs motorised units, given they sell much better as well.
