SNACK: 3-line summary
- Zoids REALIZE MODEL RMZ-027 Dibison Thomas version now has a closer look at its moving 17-barrel cannon.
- The nine center barrels tilt in groups of three, while a four-barrel bank on each side swings outward.
- Reservations are due to begin in October; an exact opening day has not been announced.
The September 23 reveal focuses on what the back-mounted cannon can actually do: its 17 barrels are arranged as moving groups, giving the Dibison Thomas model several ways to angle its most prominent feature.
Snackgirls react
Red: I want to pose that cannon with the center barrels raised, then swing the side banks out and see how different it looks.
Kirari: Those side banks could change the silhouette so much. I’d want a photo of it from both the front and an angle.
How the 9+4+4 cannon moves
The central nine barrels tilt vertically in sets of three, and all nine can point upward. The four-barrel banks on either side swing outward to the left and right, separately from the center group. The reveal does not show all 17 barrels moving individually.
A closer look after the model announcement
The model itself was first announced on September 21; the cannon movement is the new detail shown on September 23. REALIZE MODEL RMZ-027 is a 1/100-scale action plastic model of the Thomas version of Dibison from the Zoids anime. Takara Tomy says reservations will start in October, but has not given an exact day.
