Key features

Motorized Walking Action: The core feature of this 40th-anniversary model kit is its motorized function. When the included electric unit is activated with batteries, the model can realistically walk, bringing the Saber Tiger's powerful, feline movement to life on your display shelf.

Integrated LED Lighting: This kit enhances its presence with an integrated LED lighting system. Once assembled and powered on, the Saber Tiger's eyes and the Zoid Core in its chest light up, recreating the ominous and imposing look of Raven's Zoid from the anime.

Anime-Accurate Details and Pilot Figures: The AZ-05 is meticulously designed to replicate the coloring of Raven's specific machine from the show. It also includes an in-scale pilot figure of Raven himself, which can be placed inside the cockpit, along with a separate unpainted figure of the Organoid Shadow, adding an extra layer of authenticity and storytelling to the model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a new kit or a re-release of an older motorized model?

This is a brand new model kit created for the Zoids 40th anniversary as part of the "Advanced Zi" (AZ) series. It is a new mold, combining the classic motorized features of vintage Zoids with the high level of detail found in modern model kits like the HMM series. It is not a re-release of an old kit.

What kind of batteries does this model require, and are they included?

The model requires two "AAA" alkaline batteries to power its motorized walking and LED light features. The batteries are not included in the kit and must be purchased separately.

Does this kit require glue or paint to assemble?

The AZ-05 Saber Tiger is designed for snap-fit assembly, meaning you do not need glue to put it together. The parts are molded in the correct colors, so painting is also not required to achieve the appearance shown on the box. However, modelers who wish to add extra detail can choose to do so.

What scale is this model, and how big is it when completed?

This is a 1/72 scale model kit. While the exact dimensions may vary, the completed model is approximately 360mm (14 inches) in length, making it a significant and impressive piece for display.

What special features are included with the kit?

The AZ-05 Saber Tiger is packed with features. It has a motorized walking function, and its eyes and chest are lit with LEDs. The kit also includes a 1/72-scale figure of the pilot Raven and an unpainted figure of the Organoid Shadow, both of which can be displayed with the model. A display base is also included to allow for the walking motion to be shown without the model moving off a surface.

A welcoming start!

This was my first time ordering from this site, and I have absolutely no regrets! My order PGU RX-78-2 arrived very quickly, and to my surprise, it even came with a free Gundam marker. That small gesture truly made me feel welcomed into your community.

This definitely won’t be my last order—this is just the beginning of my support for this store, and I’m excited about the possibility of becoming a VIP member soon! 😊 I’m looking forward to purchasing PG kits and those hard-to-find Gunplas here in the future. Cheers!

An incredible looking kit with one flaw

The look of the kit is incredible and the fact it comes with a stand for the Lance is amazing QOL. However, there is one glaring issue, in that there is no shoulder joint. You heard me. The arms can only rotate, not move outward like in basically all other gunpla. I don't know why they built it this way but it is the one blemish on an incredible looking kit.

Epic Build

What can I say, this build is incredible, although I didn't manage to get the leds working, still, for my first perfect grade, it definitely didn't disappoint, I'm still finishing up the final few steps but very easy to follow instructions even without being able to Japanese.

Its a brand new design of an Zaku that we are all familiar with.
The colouring is closely resembling to a police officers uniform.
Its fitting for new modelers to grab and build.

Pretty good, but not the best Barbatos kit

Barbatos Lupus Rex is probably my favourite design from IBO besides Bael and Full City Rebake, but my copy of this kit has a couple of problems. The many issues that people have is that the joints are awful, but mine has none of that for now, also the proportions are a bit off compared to the anime, hopefully when Bandai releases a MG 1/100 Lupus Rex these problems are not in that kit
