Review:
One of my favourite Zoids, Redler is an awesome vibrant purple dragon that moves extremely well for a wind-up. Wind him up and watch him walk, flapping his wings as he does! You can also pull his wings up, and when you let go they will return to where they were locked, depending on what stage of walking he is at (just wind him up a little further if they don't fall as flat as you'd like). In Redler's tail has a silver sword hiding in it, and you can pull it up further than 90 degrees from the tail. Redler's wings are semi-transparent, and appear to be a dark purply-reddish berry colour. The part on his back that his wings are attached to can be lifted up a bit, and his head can tilt or open to reveal the pilot. Redler is easy to assemble, although make sure you take care when assembling him, make sure everything is nice and secure and he will work fine. Although he isn't as posable as other figures, his mobilisation, his lovely design, and the way the colours are spread out nicely are earning him a 5 star rating from me, although it should be noted I love dragons so no surprises. This guy doesn't have many faults, although I don't think his parts would be useful for fuzing with other Zoids.
