Designed for hobbyists aged 8 and up, this Japan-imported collectible requires assembly without glue, offering a satisfying build experience and a stunning display piece inspired by the iconic Zoid New Century/Zero series. ## Description Prototype Production: Yukinobu Maruya At the animated "Zoid New Century / Zero", the fox-type high-speed combat Zoid "Shadow Fox" boarding "Ballad ? Hunter" finally commercialized in the HMM series! It is a successor to the popular "Command Wolf" in the series, and the scene to confront with "Liger Zero" or "Berserk Furrer" in the play is the name scene that I want to reproduce without fail. On the back, we set up "Multi Weapon Rack" which can be said as simple version CAS (Changing Armor System) which can easily change armed. "AZ30mm armor laser balkan" moves flexibly by deployment of support arms. When deploying the tail section, "AZ 70 mm built-in type electromagnetic net cannon" appears. In addition to adopting a double joint & ball joint, "neck" adopts "pull-out type joint" by sliding movement, so that "a turning pose" full of realism can be taken, very much We made a wide range of motion. Clear parts are used for "eyes" and "each part sensor", gold and silver parts which are difficult to paint are metallic painted finished. Light Review: Easy to assemble, great posability - This kit was very easy to assemble, with clear instructions, and required minimal tools, just a nipper and/or hobby knife. No glue was needed. It doesn't require any painting but I decided to add a little silver to some vent looking areas that had been black to make them match some similar vents elsewhere on the model and the plastic takes paint very well. Once together the model has incredible range for posing. Anywhere where the shape of the armor would naturally restrict motion there are special joints that can slide the pieces a little further apart allowing you to pose it in ways you otherwise wouldn't be able to. You can tell the designers put a lot of thought and care into making sure it could do more than just stand still. The joints are strong enough to support most poses but I found that a stand might be desirable if you want to really show off some of the most dynamic poses it is capable of. The model feels durable enough that one could lightly play around with it posing it many times without to much worry but fragile enough that It probably wouldn't survive rough play from small children. Combined with the fact that you have to assemble it yourself if you are looking at this as a gift for a child it's probably suitable for middle school aged kids and up. I was very happy with how good this model was for the price, around $50 usd at time of purchase. But looking at the prices as I leave this review I notice they can fluctuate a lot on these models and its currently sitting at around $100 usd which could buy you one of the even bigger Zoid kits. Check the manufacturer's release schedule for when they do a new run of these every few years, the prices go down while supply is up. Review: this thing is awesome - for years, this has been my favorite zoid. and now i have it. this also my first kotobukiya kit and i have to say i am very impressed with it. i was correct when i described this kit as being on par with master grade gundam kits. the heavy part count, the exquisite detail, superb posability. yes it has tiny parts, and they can get lost if youre not careful. but even with that, you can't argue that this kit is amazing. the kit as whole is rock solid. minor gluing is needed in certain places, and you dont need to paint this thing, most of the places where youd usually paint are done with plastic. visually this kit is stunning with the gold and silver plastic breaking up the black. the teeth are very sharp, actually pricked myself and drew blood so do be careful when building it. the az 30mm laser vulcan is fantastic. it can move almost any way you want to it. just like in the show, the turret can be removed and have other back mounted weapons be put onto it. the tail opens up showing the net gun, it can also be removed and be fitted with any attachment that will fit it those who say that this kit is junk never had the patience to just sit down and build it. i had alot of fun piecing this thing together. it was a stark difference from building gundams and quite the refreshing change. i dont plan on buying the other HMM kits because i have no need to. this is all i need. overall i freaking adore this kit. i proudly display it next to my favorite Gundam, the 00 quanta ## Features - Japan Import. - Body size: Total length: about 240 mm - Plastic model that requires assembly and painting.

HMM 1/72. Be fore warned it's kinda small though (at only half the size of the same scale Liger 0) **Q: I have a berserk fuhrer, not sure if I should get liger zero or shadow fox next, any comments??** A: The shadow fox is no dought a great set but over all liger zero if you don't have it you should get It. I also heard the berserk fury is a great set to but in my opinion I would get liger zero first and then come back to shadow of berserk fury :) **Q: Does it transform** A: No, zoids in the show do not transform, nor do the models. **Q: how long and tall is the completed model?** A: Roughly 8 inches long and 6 inches high depending how it's posed and how high the turret is extended. But overall, it's a very nice sized model with a mass comparable to an average Master Grade Gundam, but you know; quadrupedal instead of upright. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to assemble, great posability *by A***G on February 11, 2025* This kit was very easy to assemble, with clear instructions, and required minimal tools, just a nipper and/or hobby knife.

If you try to build it in one go like I did it's only a 3-4 hour long build, and it's a surprisingly stable build, I'm not as afraid of it falling apart as I am of the either the Shield Liger or the Green Horn or Gun Sniper. Also the Shadow Fox looks very nice next to the Takara To my Mirage Fox variant I already had, now all that's missing is the Fire Fox HMM kit and I'll have all three. ## Frequently Bought Together - ZOIDS - RZ-046 Shadow Fox (Plastic model) by Kotobukiya - Rustark 9Pcs Gundam Model Tools Kit Hobby Building, Repairing and Fixing Set for Kids --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6548467-zoids-rz-046-shadow-fox-plastic-model-by-kotobukiya](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6548467-zoids-rz-046-shadow-fox-plastic-model-by-kotobukiya) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-17*
