A new post about the Raven Saber shows even more updates regarding the custom broken armor pieces of the kit. It not only includes the bare claws and face, which we knew from earlier photos, but even includes a shredded silver lower leg piece for the left leg, and a torn off right-leg. It's still unclear if this part is a custom piece or if the leg would normally be assembled around it, but either way, it's pretty cool! Pre-orders expected to open in November.

 Hobby Watch has posted an interview discussing the first Metamor Verse figure, the Blade Liger! The interview is more or less what you'd expect, but an interesting note is that they'd also like to do male characters, not just female characters. The example given was Irvine and his Command Wolf. Few of these lines try for characters like Irvine, so it'd be interesting to see what they come up with.

 SigemikanZ, maker of many of the customs used in official product photos, has posted photos of the Gatling Fox Mizutsune and Knuckle Kong Rajang. These customs were used for the box arts of the two Monster Hunter collab kits, which have just released!

 The 63rd All Japan Model Hobby Show is starting tomorrow, and we've seen a heaping ton of exciting reveals. T-Spark will be among those exhibiting at the event. Perhaps one of the most exciting developments was the launch of a new animated video, Zoids Battle Films. In this animated short we see multiple toylines featured, including RMZ and HMM, with a peculiar Death Saurer reminiscent of the Concept Art universe. We have no context yet about this animation. If it's a one off, why certain pilots seem so familiar, or what to expect going forward. For now, though? It's exciting to have a new animation. At the start, I almost thought it'd be the battle of Valhalla. I have to admit, seeing Falcon viewed in a doomier light was such a cool perspective.

 Well this one came out of left field! RMZ has announced a new variant, the RMZ-016 Blade Liger Panzer, scheduled for Winter 2025! This Zoid is... exactly what it sounds like- An RMZ Blade Liger with Panzer armor installed. It featured as a primary character in the Zoids Battle Films short (well, sort of, they used an HMM, but still!) and was announced alongside the other armor. The prototype is on display at the venue, and Hobby Watch, Dengeki Hobby, and AmiAmi have both posted photos. I'm rather curious if this armor will fit the following kit...

 Alongside the Blade Liger Panzer, RMZ also announced a Liger Zero Falcon, scheduled for 2026!! This kit featured as the other key protagonist of the animated short, sporting Liger Zero armor for the rear legs. It seems the RMZ will be fully clad, and will be the first Zero we're getting in the line! It's interesting to start with one of the less popular armors.

 A new group photo of the RMZ display at the event reveals for the very first time that RMZ is planning to also do the Command Wolf Urban Warfare Spec. from Episode 16 of Chaotic Century! (Name subject to change; the text isn't very visible.) This episode was so iconic to me when I was younger, so I'm stoked that they're making an official kit of it!

 The prototype for the RMZ Zabat is on display at the event! Not only do they have two of them around to show off the articulation, but it also seems like this Zoid will come with a special hangar bay with bars in it. This means the Zabat will probably be able to hang upside down, like a real bat, which was one of the coolest features of the old Tomy kit.

 The first promo image of the RMZ Saber Tiger Raven Spec. brings with it the announcement that pre-orders are starting in November. Even more interesting, however, is that it includes broken armor pieces for the face! In the recently-broadcasted stream we got to see that it had peeled claws, but it's awesome to know they're going the fully distance and including the damaged maw of this hateful Zoid. It also has a display at the event.

 Kotobukiya's promo twitter made two exciting announcements today, the Lightning Saix Irvine Spec. Recolor 2000 and the HMM Gun Sniper Rinnon Spec. Re/color 2001 with a slash through it because... y'know. NC/0!. We don't know yet what exactly these rereleases will entail. If they'll include anime pilots, painted or otherwise, what 'recolor' will mean, or what other changes they may still have. Even so, it's exciting news for fans who missed the earlier waves of anime Zoids, and have waited patiently for another chance!

 The event display for the Advanced Zi series shows off a brand new variant, the Murasame Liger Original Color Version! This variant has the striking blue that Murasame Liger was first released in (as a kit), still sporting a chrome blade. The display even seems to have a recreation of the glow-in-the-dark blade, which was a limited option part from the old Tomy line!

 Zoids Official also posted sketches of the Advanced Zi Liger Zero CAS units! This may be why RMZ is starting later in the armor line~ It's exciting to see X represented alongside the other armors, and I look forward to the prototypes.

 The AM-Z02 Blade Liger is also on display at the venue! The prototype was photographed by Hobby Watch (Yes, same link as earlier~) and a new concept art image was also shown off, featuring the new design! The clear blades are an interesting touch for the prototype, and may imply additional LED gimmicks. It looks rather cute from the front!

 The AMZ display included new photos of Sturm and Jagd, with some delightfully shiny silver!

 Zoids Official posted a very exciting teaser that revealed the CAS units for Liger Zero would be coming to the Advanced Zi series! The image teases not just Jager, Panzer, and Schneider, but also the X CAS, which'll match the limited Liger Zero EM.

 The AZ Liger Zero Empire went up for pre-order a while back, and now has its own Takara Tomy Mall page. The kit comes with a standard blue pilot. It's scheduled to release in March 2026 for 13,200 yen (tax included.)

 The AZ-13 Canory Molga was recently announced, and already has a product page! This kit will bring the Glide Cannon into the AZ line, and features the classic Zenebas color scheme. The product page has several neat concept arts and tons of pictures. The kit is scheduled to release in May 2026 for 6,050 Yen (tax included.)

 The RMZ Saber Tiger Raven was shown off in a recent live stream by T-Spark. This is our first look at the actual kit, if I'm not mistaken, and shows that it'll include all the standard weapons, optional blue or red leg armor, and optional splayed claws based loosely off of the armor-peeled Saber Tiger from the anime. The stream featured the RMZ Geno Saurer Raven, Shield D. Prime, RMZ Red Horn, Saber Tiger Raven, AZ Canory Molga, and a variety of others.

 A page is now up for the Red Horn Guylos Color, with some shout out promo art. It stays much truer to the original, almost looking cute from the side view while looking rather fierce from the front. It includes all the parts you'd expect, with a nice range of motion. The kit is scheduled to release in May 2026 for 6,600 yen (tax included).

 SigemikanZ over on X, who works on a lot of the customs used in official promotional art posted images of the customs used for the RMZ Blade Liger and Command Wolf Irvine! I highly recommend checking out their work. They also do a lot of cool customs.
