Description
This is an injection-plastic kit of a science-fiction/anime item.
Adapted from Kotobukiya:
The "Zoids" Iguan is returning to the HMM line by Kotobukiya in an all new improved color scheme! Iguan is built with a hybrid airframe that uses the same frame as Pteras and Godos which is a must-have for fans in recreating battle scenes between small-sized Zoids. Part of the Small-Bore Particle Beam Cannon attached to its head can be interchanged to attach the Crusher Vice. Fans can also enjoy playing with the expanding feature of the Flexible Thruster Binder attached to the Iguan's back.
Note: This kit features mostly snap-fit assembly, but some parts may require glue.
[Specifications]:
- One pilot figure is included within this model kit.
- The Flexible Thruster Binder can be expanded on the back or can be removed to expose the Zoid core.
- The cockpit hatch can be opened to place the included pilot figure inside.
- The Crusher Vice on the front right leg can be opened and closed. The Small-Bore Particle Beam Cannon attached to the head can be held within the hands of the Zoid for fans to enjoy.
- The cockpit can be removed and/or used as an "escape pod."
- This model kit is compatible with Mechanical Base Flying 3 (sold separately) to create various different poses.

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 2:
Easy to Complete
Skill Level 2 kits require basic plastic model assembly techniques, such as cutting parts from the runners, and cutting or sanding away the remains of the gates (the place where the part was connected to the runner). Some kits in this level also provide stickers for some markings. Most level 2 kits do not require cement or paint, but be sure to read any additional information provided to be sure. To nicely complete a level 2 kit, you will want to have a pair of plastic nippers for cutting parts from the runners, and a fine file, sandpaper or hobby knife for cleaning the gates. In some cases, a pair of tweezers makes applying stickers easier. Most adults with no prior modeling experience would have no trouble completing a kit of skill level 2. Parents would probably want to assist younger children with a kit of this level if they have never built one before.
No Cement Required
This item does not require the use of cement to complete. Some modelers prefer to use cement on snap-together kits in order to fix them into a particular pose, or make a joint more secure. However, this is not required to complete these kits.
No Painting Required
This item does not require painting.
Either the item is completely pre-painted, such as an action figure or other completed figure, or it is molded in the colors of the finished item so that it appears natural after you have assembled it. Note that kits which are molded in their final colors will always look better when painted, even if this is not required. At the very least, a light coat of flat clear spray will make a science-fiction kit look much less toy-like after assembly. The same goes for some action figures as well.
