- Zoids Wild

 Zoids Wild launched in June 2018 with a number of new Zoids. Sporting brand new designs for almost the entire franchise, it flew off the shelves in stores and has been an overwhelming success to start with. It's accompanied by anime, manga, and multiple games under the same name.

Box Commentary

 These statements are found on the box of each Zoid.

 What are Zoids...?
 Mechanical organisms with metal bodies, born from a single Zoid Core that arrived on Earth tens of thousands of years ago. They come in a wide range of forms such as animals and dinosaurs. They stand at the summit of the ecosystem, and are feared by humans. For a long time, they slept deep within the earth, but when certain humans excavated and reconstructed them, they appeared on the surface once again.

 What is a Wild Blast...?
 A special ability hidden within Zoids, which activates when the feelings of the Zoid and its rider synchronise and their fighting instincts rise to their maximum level. The Zoid's physical abilities increase greatly and it takes on a more aggressive form - for instance, hidden weapons may appear.

- Series Discussion

 Wild launched in 2018, as a new series aimed at younger audiences.
 Its goal was to bring new blood to the franchise, and it was one of the largest reboots Zoids has ever seen, reaching almost every single goal listed in the original press release, and then some. It was also overwhelmingly popular with the Japanese audience, and though the series had mixed reviews from overseas fans, many still enjoyed and collected the kits.

 Wild wasn't just a gimmick, however. It had strong designs, supporting media including multiple anime series, mangas, and games, and was marketed in an intuitive way. Below we'll introduce you to some of the aspects about this series.

- Excavate and Discover!

 Wild's packaging was themed around the kid-friendly concept of excavating and rebuilding your Zoids. You'd open the box and immediately see brown camou-colored cardboard, separated into several partitions containing baggies of parts. The motor was held in one end, with L-shaped cardboard indents that you could simply fold out to release the motor.

 The instruction manuals, referred to as the "Book of Restoration" contained information on the Zoid, where it was excavated from, and its instructions. QR codes could be scanned to unlock that Zoid's images and photo overlays in the Zoids Wild app. Interesting facts were sometimes included about the Zoids. For example, the Fangtiger was originally discovered by chance, when its highly conductive skeleton became magnetized and disrupted an adventurer's compass!

 The instructions were easy to understand, and contained fold-out pages in the front that included a parts guide. This guide was to scale with the actual parts, so you could lay them all out on the chart if you wanted. The bags contained perferated edges that you can tear with extreme ease. Each contains parts for the kit that are pre-cut from the sprues. Some have been apphrensive about this, but I've found it to be a blessing. It's a wonderful thing to be able to build a kit between work and other free time activities and not have it be a huge time commitment.

 The instructions are laid out in an easy to understand manner. A fold-out page in the front includes a 'parts guide' where you can take the pieces out of the baggies and line them up on this diagram to keep track of which part is which. It also makes it easier to distinguish similar parts, but the kits are easy enough to assemble just by looking at the instructions. Small notes are littered throughout the manual to help younger fans build their kits.

- Build!

 Zoids Wild kits come in baggies of parts, which have been pre-cut from the sprues. This step has made a huge difference, not only in the build time but in the accessibility for younger audiences. You don't have to get your tools together to build a kit, or make sure you have glue on hand. The kits are ready to go, no matter where you're at. With a lower part number averaging 30 ~ 70 pieces you can sit down anywhere and build a kit. Baggies are also designed with an easy-tear tab that lets you instantly open the bags. The average build time is 20 ~ 30 minutes.

 Two downsides that may affect older fans is that this pre-trimming often means visible sprue marks, which are cut too close to be sanded down without affecting the shape of the part. The kits also have many hollow pieces, such as the inner legs. This is quite normal for model kits of this caliber, but perfectionists may find themselves annoyed by it.

Contents:There are certain contents that are available in every kit.
 - Motor (Windup for Small kits, Battery-operated for medium, large, and Extra Large)
 - Parts Baggies (Bag A: Skeleton, Bag B: Armor, Bag S: Special Parts)
 - Decals
 - Rubber Caps
 - Instructions

- Skeletal Design!

 Wild kits are all based around a base skeleton, which armor is added to at the end of the process. This is an interesting design choice. It's quite different from older Zoids. It allows Wild kits to share body parts while still making different species look like an entirely new creation. For example, Pachykedos and Gilraptor share skeleton parts with some unique parts interspersed.

- Zoids List

- Special Campaign Items

 The Zoids Bases (Zoid-Specific store displays in Japan) sometimes hold campaigns where buyers can get special items (usually caps or stickers in unique colors) by spending a certain amount at a physical store. Some online shops also offer these items, such as AmiAmi and more recently HLJ (holding their own campaign for the existing sets.) The item you get is randomized, so we'll list them by "Set 1" and so on.


  * Some campaigns, like Campaign 04 are giveaways of normal stock items. Campaign 04 was a twitter giveaway, so is excluded from special campaign items.

- BCH: Great Treasure Excavation Events

 Starting in late 2019, Zoids Wild: Battle Card Hunter started to release limited edition kits under the header of a Great Treasure Excavation Event. Users would get limited cards and could redeem the ticket stub of the card for a chance to win a limited prize. The first round contained an all clear Zoid (Wild Liger Crystal) and an all clear weapons set (Assault Boost Unit Clear Ver.), with the Zoid awarded to 150 people and the ABU awarded to 1000 others. This trend seems to continue, as more have been announced, so we decided to give them their own section.

 Event 1: Wild Liger Crystal (150), Assault Boost Unit Clear Ver. (1000)
 Event 2: Fang Tiger Amber (150), Buster Radar Unit Black Clear Ver. (1000)
 Event 3:

- Special Kit Rereleases

 Death Rex Purple Dragon Form: This kit was rereleased through Shogakukan's mail-order site for public sale.
