- CoroCoro 100: Death Rex Shi-Ryu Mode


- Basic Details

    Feature In: March 2019 issue of CoroCoro Comic

Overview:

    The Death Rex Shi-Ryu Mode (Purple Dragon Form) was the second CoroCoro 100 from the Zoids Wild line. It was available through a silver peel from the March issue of CoroCoro, and contained transparent purple armor parts.

CoroCoro Premier Rereleases

    In November 2019 it was announced that the Shi-Ryu saw a wider release through CoroCoro Premiere, also known as Pal-Shop, an online web-order store. It was priced at 8,250 yen with a shipping date set in late January. Although it was originally listed as while supplies last, supplies... evidently lasted a while because the kit was still available as of September 2019. During that month, a special 2-Zoid set was announced, where users could buy the Shi-Ryu with the Liger The Arthur kit and receive free shipping (equivelant of 1380 yen). The Zoids could still be purchased individually.

    Like the Guren, the public rerelease was packaged in a solid gray box, this time without any designation number and translated as "Shi-Ryu Mode". It included the Death Rex parts to build the kit, intead of being limited only to armor parts. Although the color is more than close enough to stand as a good substitute, the CoroCoro Premier is a slightly bluer tone than the CoroCoro 100, which has a distinct pink shine to it.


    * Purple Dragon Form was the fan translation of the name when it was first released. It was months before the CoroCoro Premier kit was released, and during that time there was no English title. So, people will most likely recognize that name more.
