Review:
As a cost cutting measure Tomy used several remolded kits in the Zoids Genesis line, it may not be obvious at first but Bamburian is actually a heavily remolded Bear Fighter. The Tomy engineers have done an excellent job making Bamburian feel like a brand new Zoid and not just a simple remold.

Bamburian features a unique assortment of weaponry which includes a missile launcher (called the Bamboo launcher) that fires all 11 missiles simultaneously when the button is pushed, and a set of swords that fold out from each side of Bamburian's shoulder and can be launched off on wheels. Bamburian still retains Bear Fighters "upright mode" feature and is the only new wind-up kit released in the Genesis line.

In the anime Bamburian is piloted by a man named Ron who holds a deep fascination with planet Zi's past. He is a bit of a mystery but makes himself useful on numerous occasions and provides the team with the Zoids Power Up Parts.

Overall Bamburian is a very unique kit with a lot of features and no real flaws, highly recommended.
