Son of a bitch.
Don't worry, I'm also prolly going to be giving away the DX Wing Zero Custom, the blown up Arch Enemy WZC at some point, so keep sending in your top 5!
I'll vouch for the Arch Enemy Wing-ZERO Custom since I have one. (Wish I coulda gotten the Tallgeese-III too, dammit.)
Only bad thing about it is the front skirt armor is immovable PVC (like many MSiA), and so restricts forward hip movement. The beam saber blades are also PVC, and are really thin where they connect to the handles, so they may break with too much pressure. (Mine came with two of one fist but none of the opposite side... a simple error that I haven't heard repeated.)
Otherwise, it's a very cool 1/100 display piece... if you can tolerate a mecha with two pairs of angel wings. Nice firm joints, good posing, solid ankles for swinging those wings about.
Hey-! I should write up the review on it, meh?

I'm not giving away the actual Arch Enemy Wing Zero Custom, I'm giving away the Bandai Collector's Edition or whatever it's called WZC, which is based on the Arch Enemy one but blown up to like 12 inches tall. It's HUGE.
O.o;
Never seen/heard of that one before...!

Wow...
So, is that, like, a Deluxe Trans. toy, or somethin' else?

Well, it doesn't transform, so no, but it is about the size and quality of those though it has more painting and stuff. It's really quite like the Arch Enemy Wing Zero Custom in the size of the DX toys.
If only he could of summoned his Dragonzore to help. I was thinking the prize would of been a Power Rangers gift set.
Took 5 years to sell mine... the last toy I ever bought from a Kay-Bee Toys, 'cause it was on sale.
It sat on the shelf for a few months, then I put it back in the box. I was much more satisfied with my Zephyranthes Fb, Physalis, and Shining Gundam(s).
(I returned a Dlx. Dragon Gundam after three days; that was a big letdown since I love that mobile fighter design.)

The one called Lokor was originally called Dai Satan in Zyuranger. The Zords in the show were originally God divided into seven parts. So basically it's God VS Satan. I'm not making this up, that's actually what Zyuranger was all about.
Zyuranger is also the show where the evil witch Bandora (Rita) wanted revenge because dinosaurs killed her son.
I have to say Jason David Frank did ok for his MMA fight. I mean the only thing I really noticed is he drops his hands alot. All though finishing with an omoplata was pretty impressive on his part. His BJJ skills are pretty decent. I think the actual fight is on youtube somewhere...I know kill me for not supplying a link. Im at work and youtube is blocked :/
I actually embedded the youtube video in the post right there. Thanks for the commentary on the MMA stuff! We are newbies to the world of MMA.
Yeah ok I just listened to the podcast and I agree, I wish he would have come out to the music also. As for Jason David Frank he trains in karate and recetly has been doing a lot of BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu). I actually think he holds a blue betl in BJJ so thats pretty up there, years of training. As for his fight itself like I said he does drop his hands alot which is why he got caught and wobbled, but he did recover so you gotta give him that for having a decent chin to retain his mental and not panic.
As for his interview, it happens to alot of guys. You resort to what you know when you start to lose and in his case its Karate and trading shots with Mack wasnt a smart thing to do and you could see he paid for it. As for his finishing move after he got slammed he recovered well and went into full guard (defensive position where you put your legs around the guy to control the hip movement of your opponent). From that position he goes into what is called an omoplata. A pretty advanced move in BJJ and has to be done correctly to work. The omoplata will basically dislocate the shoulder which is why you see when he wraps his leg over the guys arm/shoulder and tries to sit up. At that point sitting up basically puts pressure on the shoulder and forces the opponents body foward while the arm is still locked in an upright position again if not stopped..basically just breaks/seperates as said in the podcast it looks as if he might grab around the neck for a so-so choke as well, but usually you grab around the waist to complete the omoplata and beleive me when done correctly puts crazy pressure on you shoulder and you cant even move at all.
Also by his weight class 220...those are heavies and as much as I love the "green ranger" at 220 hes way to small to be fighting in that class. Not to knock him but he would technicall have to drop weight and fight light heavy at 205 because if you thought Mack was big...
Hey, would you be interested in coming on the podcast to talk about this stuff?
Yeah, id be totally interested in contributing a little something.
Rad, drop me an email at feedback at destroy all podcasts dx dot com and we can work out the details.
Woo! I won with my list!
(Bloodcat was an old name I don't go by any more, but its been my email address since the late 90s.)
Super Robot Taisen isn't an RTS, its quality turn based gameplay.
Cool prize too. I can put it next to my 1/60 Wing Zero model that I will never finish panel inking!
Thank ya'll kindly!
Didnt Thuy Trang pass in a car accident.
Yes....she did.
Saban Entertainment posted a memorial card for Thuy Trang in one of the final episodes of 'Power Rangers: Timeforce' which was a double sad thing since Timeforce was Saban's final curtain for it's era as we knew it.

The irony, if I'm not much mistaken, is she died September 3, 2001...
