I have just wittnessed an unbelieveable happenin this morning. I was going to see ways how to have zambot 3 have more possiblableity. but then while i was srcaping the zambo aces feet i pulled the feet off and there are actually tabs that can be pulled out and pushed back in. so with that said, here is zambo ace withut the feet lol. as people with the SOC Zambot 3 know, the feet is the reason zambot combined doesn't have much posablility, until now that is lol. With the feet out of zambo ace, A Better poseabilly with the Zambot 3 is finally achieved This is one of my favorites After trying to find modifications and sanding pieces, I have realized that in fact, you could just pulled the feet out of ace. This is probably rdiculous but I actually like Zambot 3 more then......Voltes now. Even though the possiblity isn't asgood as voltes, it definity exceeds combattler V and finally am able to do dynamyic poses with the Mighty Zambot 3. I'm a try to get Another one either from the same guy or look for one on ebay, and I hope goodness they reissuse this because This bot definity needs another chance.

I might have too try that if it doesn't do any damage. I always thought Zambot was one of the cooler looking SOC's but it's lack of leg movement held it back but if this works then it just went up a couple ranks in my book.

in the first picture that i showed, there are poles at the end of each feet, and you don't have to pull hard at all. and yes they come back on. If you want, i can make a tutorial video on how i was able to do it. No damage will be done either

I'm not that brave in experimenting with my SOCs, in fact, I'm so afraid of experimenting with it that I just take put the toy and put it in the display case and just appreciate it that way. All the accessories that are attached to the plastics are just left inside the box.

Cool!
Might have to try that with mine later!
Too bad the Zambot 3 itself doesn't have ankle joints.
Thanks for the tip!

No problem. just to let people know, no pieces have to be modifed or broken for this to work. Think of the zambo ace's feet as one of those pieces that is meant to come on and off.

Voltes. Does make the guy look better. I just tried. The Ace feet came right off as long as you give it a firm pull and straight out at right angle.
Nice. This guy slowly climbing out from my 'least favorite SOC' spot in my collection, regardless all the problems I have with it. But looks like his other flaws is not as easily remedied as this one.
Good find.

I like taking stuff apart too. Yielded no extra possiblableity whatsoever. wow, grendizer's poseability is nil in comparison to the other SOCs. i wonder if i really want one after all...

This is no SOC. Its the Daigokin that cost like 3 times as much as the SOC Grendizer GX-04S set, as well as 3 times as big. You can kill someone literally with that big hunk of zinc. ;D

Nice find! I'd like to see if SOC does an Albegas. I'm sure they'd do better on poseability than what was originally done.
