Review:
Bio Raptor is the main Zoid of Digald's forces in the Zoids Genesis anime. In the anime they are piloted by robotic drones with a dark secret, however the model kit includes the standard pilot figure, a bit disappointing.
The model kit is very nice, the design is very fierce and matches it's CGI counterpart perfectly. Unfortunately the articulation is not as good as a Blox Zoid but the ankle joints are a nice improvement over the Bio Megaraptor kit. The main weapons of the Bio Raptor are the flamethrower located in its mouth, its claws, and teeth.
Bio Raptor and Bio Raptor Gui's armor is made from regular plastic instead of the rubbery material the other Bio-Zoids use, this makes it feel more like a standard kit and less like a Bio-Zoid. Depending on how well you like Bio-Zoids this could be a good or bad thing. The two also share many parts, most likely as an effort by Tomy to reduce costs.
Overall Bio Raptor is a nice little kit with a fun build and definitely worth adding to your collection. My only complaint is that Tomy did not create a figure of the robot pilot drone. Personally I wouldn't mind having a little army of these guys to display.
