yujin blox pz-05 geno

This is the second set of Yujin Blox Gashapon, the set is consist of 3 design, a snake type, a geno type and a liger type. Each design has two diffrent color scheme. Here is a mini review of yujin blox pz-05 geno. The first set consist of mostly maroon parts and blue joints. Same as the liger set the second set of the geno is in alternate color scheme.The built kit. From the three design this is my favorite, looking at the appearance this kit seems to be filmsy, but the real kit has tight joints and very nice balance.The fins on it's back can be improved. An additional weapon woild be nice.Also the mouth part has this tiny set teeth that would be nicer if they do it more sharper like of those in velociraptors.A close up of the details on it's head part.The rear view, was not able to take a pic of the tail part. Tail part is installed with a sniper gun.Lastly the alternate color of the geno. This is the last set I built and to my disaapontment some of the parts are missing. :( I was able to adjust the neck part and connected it to the core blox. But the left lower leg is also missing so I end up with a one-footed geno. :(My one footed geno.. :(A closer look..Overall the design of this kit impress me. The details on the head legs and arms are great. If you look closely the arms and legs seems to have muscles on it, making the kit very bio. If not with the missing leg it would be perfect :( but still the favorite of the set.

yujin blox pz-07 liger

This is the second set of Yujin Blox Gashapon, the set is consist of 3 design, a snake type, a geno type and a liger type. Each design has two diffrent color scheme. Here is a mini review of yujin blox pz-07 ligerThe parts of the first set for the liger design. Also i forgot to mention that these kits do not come with manuals, so you have to figure out what part goes with the other part by simply looking on it's built pictures provided in a leaflet included in the set.The built kit. After building the kit here is the finish product. From what I have read regarding this set, they are supposed to be wild zoids, that is why their appearance seems to be a little bio form.It also uses the jackstone parts, the head is also detailed same as the snake. The head part is already pre built. Mouth are movable joints are movable tho they are a little bit tight.The rib cage part is a nice touch for this kit, shows the bio-ish feel for the kit.Here is the second set of the liger design. Basically the only change is the color scheme. For the second set the green parts on the first set is cream, and the cream is green.Looking at the built kit, I can say that i like the first color scheme than this.In this picture you can see the ribs sticking out. Here are the two kits side by side. Laughing Hyenas?Pose. As always, the kits are bigger than expected. Very good bio-ish design. The rib cage part is a very nice idea to add on more bio-ish feel. Joints on the ankles are little bit tight. When you pose the feet, it seems that these liger are on tip-toe. Also the design of the head always reminds me of laughing hynes, why? look closely, it seems that these ligers are smiling. hehe. Overall, liked the design.

yujin blox pz-09 snake

This is the second set of Yujin Blox Gashapon, the set is consist of 3 design, a snake type, a geno type and a liger type. Each design has two diffrent color scheme. Here is a mini review of yujin blox pz-09 snake.The parts, consisting mostly of blox and jackstone like parts, plus the head and tail of the snake.The second set with alternate color scheme.Comparison of the alternate colored parts. The tail part has a claw that open and closes. Also the mouth part of the snake opens and closes.The built kit..This kit is very possable considering the body consist of mostly blox parts.After building the kits, I did not expect that their size is not as small as I'm expecting. Overall the design is good, the head part is detailed and the addition of the claw in the tail as weapon is a good idea. My only concern for this kit is that the platic used in the blox are not that high in quality. Also the jackstone like parts could be improved.
