This month's issue of CoroCoro announced an interesting Zoid: A Rising Liger variation called Liger The Arthur. They also posted an article showing off the full image for it on their website!

 The Arthur is a limited kit obtained through a "paid service", scheduled around the May issue of CoroCoro. The closest comparison for this seems to be the Black Rhimos and Bearfighter from the NJR, where people could mail in their forms from CoroCoro to purchase the kits. Although, it's worth noting that back in the day, these kits weren't listed as "Limited", and were available to all who submitted an application. We don't know yet how limited the Arthur will be, or if Limited simply means "limited to everyone who submits an application, during the relevant time" which is certainly a possibility.

 When it was first announced, we speculated that this might refer to the Pal-Shop, also known as CoroCoro Premier (Shogakukan's mail-order site). However, after comparing the double page spread to the one where the Death Rex Purple Dragon Form was announced for rerelease (in the same shop), this seems unlikely. The Rex made multiple direct references to CoroCoro Premier, including photos of the shop. If this were going to be the outlet used, it seems likely that it would specify this clearly, as they did before. At the moment, it may end up being an actual physical mail-order item.

 On a positive note, Arthur has a lot of additional parts! This includes a basic Rising Liger with silver armor, blue secondary armor, and blue caps. The Liger also includes a new armored visor, a huge lance-like weapon on the back, new tail armor, new paw armor, etc. We'll post more as we get more information!

 A super-limited new Liger that merges a Zoid with the strength and figure of a "knight" that fought in the Middle Ages!! Its armour and weapons give rise to a new storm!! Wait for entries to open in the May issue!!

 We've learned that a new Liger with new parts and new colours will be sold as a Coro Coro limited! It's a super masterpiece that fans and even beginners will definitely want to obtain!

 * Translations were done by Falcarius! Thank you! Because some characters were not visible in the source image, there are a couple of words missing. These will be updated as soon as a personal copy of CoroCoro has been received.

 The ZW41 Dash Breaker Unit is also available, scheduled for a March 28th release at 1,100 yen. Like the Gravity Cannon Unit, it includes new weapons in brown, and a rerelease of the Assault Boost Unit in black. The Assault Boost Unit was formerly released in silver, so this is a new color version.

 New Weapons:
  Arc Knife x2
  Auto Saw x2
  Bone Blade x2
  Combat Claw x2
  Grinder Cutter x2
  Mega Lance x2

 Weapon Rerelease:
  A-Z 10-Shot Maneuver Missile Pod x2
  A-Z Anti-Aircraft 4-Barreled Cannon x1
  A-Z Impact Cannon x2
  A-Z Super-Electromagnetic Blade x2
  All-Weather High Power Booster x2

 Today, TakaraTomy revealed the source of the brown Bone Blade (mistakenly referred to earlier as the Horn Blade) we saw. It comes from the brand new Gravity Cannon Unit and the Dash Breaker Unit. These weapon sets include a series of brand new weapons in a bronze color, and a complete rerelease of the earlier weapon sets in black instead of silver.

 The Gravity Cannon Unit is scheduled to release on March 28th for 1,100 yen and comes with the equipment listed below. It contains "new weapons" (previously released at WHF in silver, but not in a wide public release) and "rerelease" weapons, which are from the Buster Radar Unit. The Buster Radar Unit originally came in silver, so these weapons sport a new black coloring.

 New Weapons:
  Attachment Frame x2
  Long Assault Rifle x2
  Panzer Faust x2
  Power Rifle x2
  Square Shield x2
  Wing Cutter x2

 Weapon Rerelease:
  A-Z Impact Cannon x2
  A-Z 2-Barrel Cannon x2
  A-Z 3-Shot Charge Missile x2
  Extensive Radome x1
  Flexible Arm x2

 When the Dash Breaker Unit went up on the TakaraTomy Mall, they slipped in two cheeky teaser images. These images featured a brand new type of Archeopteryx Zoid, featured wearing the weapons unit. This Zoid is the ZW39 Sonic Bird, scheduled for release in late April.

 TakaraTomy Toys over on Twitter also posted some teaser images of the default Zoid, giving us a great look at it. Although it uses the Gilraptor body there's an extraordinary number of new parts, including fully foldable wings, and arm pegs that've been repurposed as gun mounts.

 The Omega Rex has shown up on the TakaraTomy Mall, scheduled for a March 28th release for 7,700 yen (tax included)! On a fun note it seems that the Rex's particle cannon, which we've known about for a while, uses a stunning green color. It'll be interesting to see how it is used in the show, whenever it shows up. CoroCoro also has a page showing off a new diorama style image, citing the particle cannon as a weapon that can blow up an entire city in just one blast.

- Omega Rex White Fortress Ver.

CoroCoro has posted a new article showing off the Omega Rex White Fortress Ver. It shows the particle gun charging up and being used. These images are for the silver peel, which is essentially a scratch off that buyers of CoroCoro can mail in for a chance to win. Like most other CoroCoro limiteds, it'll be limited to 100 kits total.

 We have two new pieces of concept art from Zoids Wild Zero. Jake Ramon, who dreams about flying through the sky and sets out to make a number of flying crafts, and Hanna Melville, a Lieutenant from the Imperial Army who acts as an assistant for Dr. Frank Land.

 Starting on February 27th, players of Battle Card Hunter will be able to win the Drei Panther card as a campaign item. This campaign is only being held at Molly Fantasy and PALO stores.

 After teasing the Omega Rex last night, Zoids Official has teased a mysterious weapon variation: A brown Horn Blade. Although Horn Blades were obtained at earlier events like the remodeling both at World Hobby Fair in Tokyo, every iteration we've seen of this so far (including leaks) were in a gray color. So what will this weapon turn out to be from? Will its wider public release be updated to brown? If so, we'll likely see color variations of other weapons as well!

 TakaraTomy and CoroCoro have steadily been teasing Omega Rex for months, and this beast has already appeared in the Zoids Wild 2 manga. Back in mid-January, CoroCoro posted an article discussing an upcoming CoroCoro 100 based on this Zoid, but it also contained an awesome, rainy image of it. Just yesterday, the Zoids Official twitter account posted our first big, clean product images!

- Omega Rex Teasing New Zoid!?

 A cheeky posted from the Zoids Official Twitter exhibited photos of the work place where they're developing the commercial for the upcoming Omega Rex. It contains some customs, but most interestingly -- a familiar little mantis in the foreground. We've heared whispers of these little Kill Scythes for a while, but this is a clever way to introduce them!

 Although we first heard about the Omega Rex White Fortress Ver. in earlier CoroCoro issues, there were no images of it. Now, we've gotten our first glimpse! This image is from the upper left corner of the CoroCoro Comic March issue's cover. Tonight it was also shown off in CoroCoro's video presentation for the March issue of CoroCoro Comic. Fortress resembles a fossilized rex, a cool color choice! It is our next CoroCoro 100 Limited.

 With Kuwaganos planned to appear in the next episode, now's the time to cover their info! The Kuwaganos is a subspecies of Kuwaga, which differentiates itself by the ability to crystalize sap. This crystalization forms an unknown type of metal, which is used for the Amber Jaws and Amber Wings. Components made out of this Amber material have a self-healing ability, and will repair within minutes if damaged.

 Wild Blast: Storm Scissors
 Length: 4.9 m
 Height: 2.0 m
 Weight: 9.6
 Maximum Speed: 212 km/h
 IQ: 42

 Equipment List: Amber Jaw, Amber Wing, Big Jaws, Radar Tube, Wings

 TakaraTomy has posted a couple of images showing off this Zoid next to the original Kuwaga. From earlier images it looked like the Amber equipment would have a rough texture, but in these unpainted photos it is super sleek, looking like genuine amber. It's a cool distinction! The Zoid is also up on the TakaraTomy Mall and is scheduled for a February 22nd release, for 1,500 Yen. Dengeki Hobby also happened to post an article on it, with some additional photos. We've already set up this Zoids page over in the Wild model kit section if you want to read more!

 We heard earlier about the PSO2 (Phantasy Star Online) collaboration with TakaraTomy, which would allow players of PSO2 to obtain Wild Liger helmet items in-game. This collab would also feature a special sticker sheet for the Wild Liger based on one of the game's characters, Ash. This variation is now available on the TakaraTomy Mall, scheduled for a March 5th release at 3,300 yen. It includes a special sticker set and the ZW01 Wild Liger model kit.

 Kotobukiya displayed their HMM Wild Liger at Wonder Festival last weekend, this time with the Wild Blast on display! Still no colored example, but it's looking cool so far. Kotobukiya posted an image of the display on Twitter. You can see the Wild Blast flame effect part (which will be green, hopefully transparent) and the Mane Claws extended. The Arashi figure also has a Wild Blast look! Dengeki Hobby Magazine posted three more pictures here, here, and here. We still don't have an exact price or release date, but it was originally estimated for June or July. That time may be subject to change.

 We have a variety of custom examples based on official Zoids! We have Rising Liger Flight Prototype, Cannon Bull Anti-Air Long-Range Artillery Spec., Stylaser Cold District Spec., and Bazootle Heavy Artillery Medium-Range Bombardment Spec. (which also has a WIP post). An article from Dengeki Hobby covers WIP shots of some of the older custom examples.

- New Opening Theme!

 Zoids Wild Zero has been announced to be getting a brand new opening theme, which can be heard on various streaming services starting April 1st. The new opening is Player, by MAGIC OF LiFE. You can hear examples of their music on their Youtube channel. It's really wonderful! This also confirms that the series will go for quite a while longer. Surely Blu-Ray announcements cannot be far off?

- Anime Site Update!

 The official website for Zoids Wild Zero has had a huge update! It now includes a wide variety of character and Zoid profiles, instead of just those from the first couple of episodes. This includes character stock art and Zoid images of both the basic and Blast forms.

- Concept Art!

 We have lots and lots of concept art posted by the anime twitter account! the Empire's small communication device, Sally's Pendant (which contains a tiny Zoid Core, it looks like!), Raptoria's Cockpit, Imperial Empress Fiona's everyday clothes, Aysel's expressions, Col. Diaz's Parents, Col. Shelley, Republican President Crestwood, and most beautiful of all, the Republican Immigration Ship!

 Multiple teaser pages have been posted from the recent Zoids Wild 2 chapters, including ones that show off modified Zoids and the Rising Liger!

 We have some new card & art images from Zoids Battle Card Hunter! Rising Liger and Genospino Rampage Form. Rising Liger comes from CoroCoro, but there's also codes on the back that can be used to get the Genospino card. Then we have the basic Genospino, Bazootle Lagoon, and the secret rare card for the Genospino.

 Zoids Wild EX-ZERO, the side-story produced for Hobby Japan Magazine, continued with its second chapter in the March 2020 issue! HJM also held their own panel at Wonder Festival, where they went over important information for the series. This included the fact that EX-ZERO will be a bi-monthly series, published every 2 months. It takes place before Zoids Wild Zero, which is an interesting time in the series' history.

 The booth also featured a Gilraptor Cutter Spec. that isn't featured in the actual story, though we've yet to see pictures of this Zoid surface online! Similarly, they displayed anime-style character artwork that we hope to see soon. Chapter 2 features a Stylaser, and a keen customization continuation from Chapter 1. The Armd Liger not only keeps its captured weapons from Chapter 1, but is more battle worn from the fight!

 Mono Magazine in Japan published an article on Zoids Wild in their February 2020 issue. This features an image of the Rising Liger based off of a very old Saber Tiger image of the same theme, which you can see in the comment section!

 The World Hobby Fair just happened in Japan, so we're going to go over some of the event details! This year's theme is customizing, and as such, the 30 finalists from the My Zoids Contest were lined up at the venue to be voted on. The event also had a customizing booth for visitors to display their Zoids in and add assorted equipment, as well as various other entertainment, such as music and BCH events.

 The customization contest gave the opportunity to win a number of prizes, including the Awakened Wild Liger, Kabtor Rare White, Kuwaga Rare White, Gilraptor Rare Bone, and Fang Tiger White Tiger Form.

- Weapons from WHF!

 The event had a number of weapons you could obtain through various methods, with a total of 9 separate parts. You can expect to see more of these weapons in the future, so don't worry if you aren't able to obtain them!

Remodeling Booth: You could bring your Zoids to the remodeling booth and customize them with various items! The event may have gone by a ticket number system if it turned out to be crowded. From this base, you could obtain the: Horn Blade, Arc Knife, Grinder Cutter, Attachment Frame, Auto Saw, and Panzer Faust.

Voting For The Contest: By voting for the contest, attendees could get the Wing Cutter (one per person.)

Purchase Bonus: By purchasing Zoids Wild Series products at the sales corner inside the Zoids booth, you could obtain the Square Shield and the Mega Lance.

- Beast Liger Optical Camouflage Spec.!

 The Beast Liger Optical Camouflage Spec, a former CoroCoro 100 limited was on sale at the venue for 3,850 yen. Zoids Official posted some photos of this kit, an all clear Beast Liger.

- Wild Variation Diorama & Art!

 The bottom of the event page also posted some of the artwork from the instruction manuals, which show alternate versions of the Zoids! It's awesome to see clean digital images of these variations, some of which we've seen on twitter. The twitter posts were accompanied by custom model kits of the variations, a few of which appeared in a display at the WHF event.

 The customs displayed at the event were part of a huge diorama, which showed off stock kits, variation customs, and repainted kits. It was an impressive display! Also on display were the Armd Liger and friends from the new Zoids Wild EX-ZERO story that was published in Hobby Japan Magazine. The Armd Liger was customized into the Heavy Armor Custom, which had Cannon Pull's cannons and shoulder armor equipped. This lines up with what happened at the end of the first story.
