ZOIDS #038 ELEPHANDER 1/72 Scale Motorized Action Figure Model Kit (2001 Hasbro)

For starters this one was a robotic model. I have no complaints to the seller. However this is not a true 1/72 scale and was not the same series as the other zoids I have ordered. He’s cool though. The mighty elephander!!

I waited forever for this site to get the Elephander in stock, but it was worth it. The Elephander took a long time to put together (more than an hour). It had tons of parts, but a lot of them were parts for the different weapons. You should be careful, though. I broke a few minor pieces accidentally. (fortunately they were just decorative and not functional)The Elephander comes with two different heads, the normal-type and commander-type. There are three different sets of ears, three different trunk attachments (The claws, the energy sword thing, and some kind of radar), and either a gun or radar that goes on the back. I have the commander head and the claw weapon on mine. It walks kind of slow, about the same speed as my Zaber Fang. Its trunk curls upwards and then drops down again as it walks. It walks just as easily on the carpet as it does on a smoother surface. Only two other Zoids I have walk well on carpet: the War Shark and the Dark Spiner (The Raynos, Storm Sworder, and Command Wolf can walk on carpet, but not very well.)I got the Assault Gatling Unit recently, and put it on the Elephander, where it looks REALLY cool. Get the Gatling Unit for this Zoid!WORD OF WARNING:The Elephander's trunk is VERY hard to put together. You have to hold the whole thing together while trying to add more pieces, and if you get it wrong, the trunk won't move correctly. I had to take the whole trunk apart and put it back together again to get it to work right. This Zoid is not for beginners. I recommend you start with a Basic, then move up towards bigger and more complicated Zoids like Liger Zero and the Elephander. Having experience building models will help (I have 12 Gundam models as well).I highly recommend the Elephander. It's one of the best Zoids Hasbro has released so far, and there are even better Zoids that haven't made it here yet!

You should really buy it.It has 3 changeable setting Commander type,Fighter-type,and Scouter type.It has a 98mm gun(on left) and 95mm gun(on right).You can put on the the Scouter type radar and the 2 pilot if you don't like the gun.Has 2 sets of tunks,2 changeable ears,and 3 changeable componets for the trunk.This zoid is piloted by Soiler of the Backdraft group.The zoid dosen't need to be controled by u, it can be controled just by your voice. This zoid has a lot of parts, but I'm sure u can make it through.Anyways it's pretty cool when it's done.Personally the Elephander should be an ulimante-x,but it's not.The Elephander nearly creamed the Liger0-Shnider, but it nearly lost.To bad it's so slow,but that dosen't really matter.So far I only know of a couple of attacks,but I least I know them.They are:A sword slashHead ButtGun fireShield By the way if you really want to know something,every shield can be shut down or destoryed by 3 shots by a Gun Sniper sniper rifle.Well,every shield exect the Death Stinger's.I hope my review was helpful to you and you learned more about the Elephander.

Ohhhhh man, this is an awesome zoid. the Elephander is bomb big time. Dang, but this is a hard one too. I love it's many weapon chooses, but it's huge not as big as some zoids though *cough Gustav cough*. One of the absoulute best zoids of all time. I'm personally a, not to brang but great modeler. And I don't mean to be rude but I've made many zoids and proudly can disassemble and reassemble my Helcat in 10 minutes. It comes in very handy when your enemy uses it's Helcats invisiblity to stomp you but trade weapons and use your Elephanders tracking equipment to win the battle.Well I guesse it can be educational at times like WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I DOING WRITING A REVIEW WHEN I CAN BE GETTING TO CLASS S WITH MY ELEPHANDER AT MY SIDE!!! Oh well, I'll be replaceing it with the Geno Breaker when I get it.This is a very durable zoid, It's been in many close calls (like being dropped on the tile floor from 5 feet up) but it has no scratchs or breaks in it.Man the Elephander looks cool when trimmed and equipted with the right tools. The Elphander can be equipted with a radar trunk, a grapple trunk, or a sheild/sword trunk. On it's back it can have a gun or radar. It can change to two different heads on is the basic and the other has longer tusks, ears have radar scramblers and one is a tracker. Last theres the gun on the bottom of the unit. It has no other chooses to it and is only different by taking it off. All together experinced modelers should do this model. It's not a good idea to have this be a first zoid.

And I thought I was going to be in for a challenge. This Zoid was pretty easy. It only took about two hours to put everything together, just like my Deathsaurer, Gojulas, and Genobreaker. The size is also somewhat of a disappointment, I thought it would be at least a few inches bigger than it really is. But enough about the bad points, on to the good points. This Zoid was pretty fun putting together, because it does make you think about how things go together. It's also good because it walks on the carpet rather well, but it keeps moving to the left, and going in large circles. If you're looking for a good Zoid to build, I suggest the Elephander. But if you're like me, and looking for a real challenge, and you've built other Zoids, then don't get your hopes up to high, you might be in for a disappointment.
