Review
My first OJR Zoid.
When I saw him show up on Toywave's listings MISB, I jumped on him. At that time I wasn't sure how much of a difference there was between him and the NER Dibison I already owned, and didn't know until he was delivered and built.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the green on OJR Dibison is more of a military green as opposed to the brighter green of the later reissues.
When switched on, Dibison walks forward, raising his head up and down.
Manual features include an opening mouth and cockpit, guns that can be raised or lowered, and a tail that can be raised or lowered.
Additionally, there's a second rear facing cockpit on Dibison's back, with room for one pilot and a fold out Radar.
One of the sweet things about OJR Dibison is the metal horns and feet. They replaced them with plastic for the later NAR and NER lines, so I was glad to be able to get a version that had the metal ones, without having to pay out for a NJR identical to the NER I already had, just for the metal.
I do recommend this Zoid, but he's a rare guy now, so might cost a pretty penny. If all you want is the metal horns and feet and don't care about the age, rarity or colour, it'll be much cheaper and much easier to get an NJR.
