the walking gimmick look very tacky...like the old 60s robot walking , with the open the chest .... i wanted a very articulated figure .... look at the tail...it just one solid piece

Pretty impressive, if you ask me. It's still a motorised kit you assemble, but it also simulates breathing (which explains the non-articulated tail) and stops to roar. Are those walking noises also generated by the model, or are they dubbed in as part of the ad?
Considering the 'core' gimmick of the classic Zoids was motorised walking, it makes sense for these MP Zoids to be able to walk as well. I think the idea is if you want super-detailed, highly articulated, posable Zoids, get the Kotobukiya HMMs.
Don't know if I'd bite, though. Maybe if I saw a MP Liger Zero...
