 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
The combination of GID and clear vinyl works really well.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
Very nice, very expensive, have a feeling this is going to join the list if Zollmen GIDs I'll likely never acquire.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
I have a Zofbie question. With the unpainted blue ones, whats the dealio with the little blood vial? Is this just an accessory to sit next to the toy? It has actual liquid in it so I'm just confused as to if that was just for display. Seems like it would have made more sense to just have the bottle rather than putting fluid in it. Anyone know anything about this? The other versions don't see to have this included.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
It's a accessory with red colored water to represent blood to quench the thirst of the Zofbie zombie. Just a fun gimmick for the toy.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
^^ That makes sense, I almost wish it was either empty or had a barrier under the cap to not let the liquid out. Either way its cool. Kinda surprised this came with unpainted zofbies instead of the painted.

I think that's a homage to old Marusan/Bullmark toys from the 60's when you could get a 'paint your own version'. They did this with a few Ultraman toys. At least that's my take on it, or it could be just a goofy accessory. Zollmen seems to have a very distinct vintage feel at times, especially with the earlier releases. They all link to the past somehow.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
No problem. It's just a guess mind you, not saying it was their intent but sometimes newer japanese companies pay homage to the older companies in subtle indirect ways. Zollmen has in the past done this so....

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
^^ You didn't like the new Re Burstron? The colors pop, in my opinion, and its the best version. After comparing to the Burstron, I think that Zollmen got lazy and just added that head on the already sculpted body. I would prefer if it had its own sculpted creepy body rather than that of a dino but either way its cool.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
^^ Jun/exohead and zollmen are some of the most talented sculptors and creators out there. Everything is meticulously planned and so I doubt 'they' were just being lazy'.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
^^ I agree of course they are amazing at sculpting. I just don't get using the same body with an alternate head. If the other one didn't exist then this crazy ghoul head on a dinosaur body would just be a wacky creation. With Burstron already a thing, it seemed lazy because time wasn't taken to create a separate body. I tend to not like mash ups.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
I personally much prefer the Burstron over the Re-burstron and the Fancy toys dont do much for me either. I absolutely love Zollmen though, Just not those toys.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 10/21/12
No no no. You are all wrong. Reburstron is the height of creative genius. It's easily Zollmens best toy. I've always imagined it as a very bizarre experiment by the maddest of mad scientists.
