Finally made another Slizer MOC. It only took 4 years.
Hey guys! This is my latest project, the Yako Slizer:
This is another example of me wanting to make two different MOCs and mashing their themes together. In this case it was a Nine-tailed fox themed character and a Slizer. As was the case with my Dust Slizer (shamelessly going to just leave this here: Dust Slizer ), I tried to incorporate pieces and motifs from the late 90s/early 00s to capture the feel of the Slizer line while using modern techniques.
Each of this guy’s nine tails is a throwing arm, so naturally he can hold lots of disks.
The tails can fold up into a big bundle for when he just needs to walk around.
As an added bonus, he also has little rocket pods in his legs.
He’s a lot bigger than the standard slizers of course, and he makes Dusty look a little shrimpy, too.
That’s the Yako Slizer. He’s a bit goofy, and sadly doesn’t have the transforming function that Dusty did, but I had a lot of fun with him and got to try out some new techniques. As always, you can check out more pictures in the full album here: Yako Slizer | Flickr
Thanks! If you have thoughts, I would love to hear them!
The color scheme is a bit messy, but the build is really solid. I really like the addition of all those Slizer arms at the back, it gives him a very imposing look.
Overall, I like your Dust Slizer more than this one, but it’s still a great MOC nevertheless.
I really love this! I’m always a sucker for Slizers, and the nine-tailed-fox motif is also something I quite appreciate, so I’m pretty much bound to love this, but even setting aside how well it caters to my interests, it still looks incredible. I will say that the red accents, while not inherently a bad idea, seem to clash with the yellow somewhat; if you have those pieces in a darker shade, perhaps, it could work a bit better, giving the same industrial feeling without sticking out quite as much? Just a suggestion, though, and ultimately a fairly minor nitpick. On the whole I really adore what you’ve done here, and between this and Dust, I really hope you do more Slizer mocs like these in the future. ^_^
Thanks! I tried switching to dark red mid build, and it wasn’t really working for me. I think I’m just going to remove the red or swap it to a more neutral color like black or grey.
