The last
installment of Liger armor sets, the Panzer Unit features the largest
chunks of diecast armor in the whole series (diecast areas shown
in blue). I kid you not when I say that these blocky pieces of squared-off
metal look like they can stop real bullets!
The Panzer Unit
features a leaf green color scheme and the design harks back to
good-old no-nonsense 80s' mecha aesthetics. From the boxy tank-like
armor to the cylinder-hatch details for missile launchers, the Panzer
would make a most ideal pet for the Takatoku Armored Valkyrie :)
The armor may
seem a bit more cumbersome than the lithesome designs of the other
Ligers, but there is no lack of gee-whiz goodies. First up is the
hatch set just above and behind the head. Open it to reveal a six-pack
of kablooeys for any foe that dares a frontal charge...
And then there
are MORE missiles! Both hatches on the rear haunches lift up to
reveal their deadly payload, as does the the two panels on the flanks.
Top top it all off, the twin "hybrid cannons" mounted
on it's back not only swivel but also elevate as well. This kitty
kat is BUILT, man!
By now, I'm
sure you can guess my bias regarding Mecha Barney... Go sic' 'em
Panzer!
