- Zoids Fuzors Action Art Collection
Japanese Name: (ゾイドアクションアートコレクション)
The Action Art Collection followed a similar design scheme as the Zoids Art Statues, perhaps with less fleshed out environments. It featured several figures from the Zoids Fuzors series, with a rare chase figure for the blue Fire Phoenix and Liger Zero Phoenix. They lack the majesty that the original Art Statues had, but if you're into these types of figures, they're still pretty cool.
List of Figures:
- Berserk Furher
- Buster Eagle
- Fire Phoenix (Blue) (Chase Figure)
- Fire Phoenix (Red)
- Liger Zero
- Liger Zero Phoenix (Blue) (Chase Figure)
- Liger Zero Phoenix (Red)
- Buster Eagle
These diaromas are really very intriguing. The flying Zoids are stationed near what look like dead trees, or maybe even rock formations. This is very cool, but admittedly they aren't all stable. Buster Eagle especially tends to be a little wobbly depending on how he is posed. I'd expect it to fall over frequently.
On the back there is the double-barreled cannon which has both barrels separately articulated to rotate up and down. The eagle is on a ball joint so that it can swivel in a circle to face whichever direction is preferred.
- Fire Phoenix
This is another cool one. It's got a very tall stand and I've actually found it to be much more stable than the Buster Eagle. It still wobbles but it's much less prone to falling over. This is because the base has better footing in the direction that the Phoenix is leaning.
The ball joint that this one is attached to allows it to swivel but it has no poseable parts otherwise.
- Blue Fire Phoenix
One of two chase figures in this set. It is otherwise identicle to the normal Fire Phoenix in every way, attached to the base on a ball joint that allows it to rotate.
- Liger Zero
A very nice kit, but a little out of place compared to the others. Nonetheless I love the hover cargo styled launch pad here, and the dust and booster flare is a really nice touch. It's a unique diaroma all on its own and does not attach to any of the other diaromas. There is no poseability on the figure.
- Liger Zero Phoenix
While I personally love Liger Zero Phoenix as a Zoid this figure is the one that lets ya down. It's still cool looking but the face is very, very squished. The Liger Zero in this same set shows that they could have evened it out a little, but it almost looks like the Phoenix cap is melting into the head or concaven.
Aside from the aesthetic issues the Phoenix attaches to its base on the rear left leg. While the leg stays nicely attached to the base the ... rest of the Zoid doesn't stay very attached to the leg. It falls off very easily. If you just set it on a shelf it'll stay put but it's difficult to mess with or move otherwise. It and the Buster Eagle (our lovely fuzors) are ironically the ones that always come apart.
- Blue Liger Zero Phoenix
Based off of the blue NJR Phoenixes that appeared in the Zoids Battle Story this is a very nice figure, but unfortunately it suffers from the same concaved facial look that the normal Liger Zero Phoenix has. It also has the same issue with the leg coming detached from the rest of the body.
