The next fighting robot is another unit in the medium weight class like the Cougar before it, the fast and deadly ZEBRA 41!

Powerful and sleek, the Zebra 41 has medium armor that doesn’t get in the way of its maneuverability and speed, and is further assisted by hip boosters that can be extended or retracted with additional parts. The blue and white robot utilizes an advanced Optical Camouflage system, and takes on enemy units with an “LZ-Triad,” “Sentry Gun,” and “Leveler MP20.” All of these additional parts can be mounted on the Zebra’s back for storage just like in the game!

Each robot in the Border Break series is built on the universal core “Cross Frame” outfitted with additional armor, weapons, and accessories. The robots are fully articulated and poseable, and you can combine and interchange parts from different units to create your own original Blast Runner! Standing 6 inches tall, the Zebra 41 is comprised of approximately 300 parts and has an outstanding 30 points of articulation.
