Review
I bought Giant Zrk Purely for the retro feel it gives off. It was one of the first kits ever made, in both kit and battle story, and was the first Zoid of its size to be released.
Certainly, when compared to later releases, it's obvious to tell that its design is old.
I really wasn't that keen on it to begin with. For some reason, I never really appreciated its design, until I owned one.
It gives me a tingly nostalgic feel, which is some feat considering I wasn't even born when it was released,
Giant Zrk's features are somewhat minimal compared to other big Zoids. When the Zoid is switched on, it walks forward, albeit a bit unsteady, and raises its head up and down, and the guns on its back and tail can be directed manually.
The head can also be turned manually to face in another direction, which is a feature I quite like on Zoids for photographic reasons.
I certainly recommend Giant Zrk for the nostalgic and the retro fans. It paved the way for the Zoids we know now, and is a piece of Zoid history that should never forgotten.
