Review
I really didn't know much about this guy when my contact offered me one, so before buying, I did some research on the net.
I didn't like what I found at first. To me, the cap colour didn't suit the rest of the colour scheme at all, but I'm never one to let an OJR slip by me if I'm offered it and have the money to buy, so I took it.
Storch found his way into my heart while I was building him, however, and suddenly the cap colour didn't seem so out of place.
Storch is not a particularly large Zoid, running on the smallest type of wind up motor there is, but when that motor's wound he walks forward eagerly and flaps his wings.
When stationary, Storch's wing tips can be folded to an extent (Be careful, they fall off easily) and his tail can be raised or lowered.
There's also... something... in his back which opens... I regret that I have not yet worked out what that is... I think it may be an airbrake, but I have no confirmation on that.
All in all, not a lot of features, but then, not a big Zoid either, thus it's more likely to be easier to find cheap and he doesn't hog much shelf space. Well worth looking into.
