INSTINCT AWAKENED!
Before we begin, I want you to know that Zyuohger, the 40th Super Sentai series is bound for Valentine's Day 2016. Surprisingly, the leader Zyuoh Eagle is the only human member (discounting the 6th hero since he's not been revealed yet unless he ends up as the second human) in the team, whereas the rest are anthropomorphic characters from another planet. In contrast, the leader will also have the ability to change form as in the same case as most Kamen Riders in either eras, where Eagle can become Zyuoh Gorilla and gain extra oomph and muscle.
The robot however had a lot of gimmick from the start of the set including Zyuoh King, composed of Cube Eagle, Cube Shark, and Cube Lion. The second robot in the series is made up of the next 3 Cube Animals, which were Elephant, Tiger, and Gorilla, and named Zyuoh Wild. There is also Cube Animal Weapons which are smaller than the others, and the first of them is Cube Kirin (Giraffe) which forms into a gun for King. Another great rumor was the super gestalt will be made up of the seven aforementioned and one more animal which will be revealed on a later date.
Hooded Cloak is Back!
Just recently, our fellow friend Hooded Cloak returns with his review show and his review of Tindig, (He'll be catching up until we get to the 2016 Foldabots, if any of you fans have the January 2016 issue already) probably Zootron by the start of the New Year, and probably doing all three Toxicons in one review in contrast of catching up.
More Photos
So, I decided to take more pictures of the other Foldabots I've mentioned in the last post. However, I didn't include one set which I haven't built yet, which I could include probably when I got these built. The pictures include Toy Book 8's MP Patrol, L.Diads, and Jewel Guardian.
First, let's start with MP Patrol. Alteration wise in my version was the siren lights were oriented in the other way around. The first two pictures featured the car mode's front and back. Followed by two pictures showing the transformation process, where I took out some of the parts, and formed the limbs. Finally, the last two are Patrol's robot form, one in his normal stand, while the other one shows some articulation points. Like I said before he's got a lot of advantages over the last MPs. (Apologies for not rotating the last two...)
Next, is the Lutabot Diadrones. Surprisingly in Toy Book 8, Sporticus and them were given their illustrations based in their appearances in the comics. The last picture shows a nice configuration I made by redoing the original way of placing Du-Rogg's helmet, and making the other Diadrone into a cannon like their Foldabot counterparts.
And now, Jewel Guardian which I based it on Crystal Warrior's mecha gestalts. You can check out the review and the patterns at this link: http://ejsotto.blogspot.com/2015/03/jewel-guardian-another-original-combiner.html
As we close 2015, which I've already covered the Foldabots of the year on the last blog, may be a little disappointing due to lack of Foldabot gestalts (discounting Sporticus), and probably the one wish I'm hoping for is the 10th anniversary of Foldabots include 2 Foldabot gestalts rather than individual ones which is a major downside lately. And probably since I'm still wondering if Toxicus will have a rival combiner. If it does, I'm thankful the toy line will survive for another 10 years and probably launch a new line from Foldabots for the adult demographic, which is true will catch on to the veteran fans like me. Until then, this has been The Foldabots Blog, wishing you all, an Adequate New Year!
