Zoids Wild BCH has posted the art for the second bulletin's secret rare, Fang Tiger. An Awakened Wild Liger is getting a limited card of its own. In addition, a second set of Zoids Wild Battle Card Hunter "Hunting Chewing Gum" is being released. This will feature a limited edition Death Rex card, and presumeably the commons of the Second Bulletin in the same anime-specific style as the first Hunter Chewing Gum box.

    We have a large amount of concept art to go through! So let's get started~ For character concept art, they've posted the following: Avocado, Bacon, Caviar, Drake, Drake's Parents, Gallagher, Hermit Mushi, Ikadzuchi, Salt, and Sanratan. They've also posted a couple of location concepts, including Death Rocky and the Death Metal Throne.

    Volume 3 of the Zoids Wild manga has been announced! The cover was posted on Twitter, with a release date of July 3rd for 490 Yen. Also be sure to check out the artist of this great manga, Moritya Dayo! They recently made a twitter account, posting tons of art, including some that was only seen in CoroCoro and even brand new art!

    TT has announced a collaboration with Graffart Shop to feature some Zoids merchandise! This will include a few different types of items, mostly in the generic merch categories (keychains and the like). It features some cute art of the Zoids and their characters. Check here for a better look at the items, and here for more.

    A set of Puzzle Rubber Game figures has been announced! These are small rubber figures split into multiple parts (namely body, head, legs, and tail). You can then mix and match the parts, putting rex limbs on a Liger, or a raptor tail on Fang Tiger. The set includes 5 Zoids: Death Rex, Dimepulsar, Fang Tiger, Gilraptor, and Wild Liger. A box set can be ordered on sites like amiami for around 3,480 yen.

    Details on the Fang Tiger "White Tiger Form" have been released. It appears this Zoid is obtained by sending in a postcard (if you're a Japanese resident) with your zip code, full name, age/school year, and phone number. 100 lucky winners will receive the armor part set featuring the white Fang Tiger armor (armor only.)

    Battle Card Hunter has announced its second model kit campaign, this time featuring the Hunter Wolf Command! Designed after the beloved Command Wolf, this new armor parts set (armor only) can be used on any stock Hunter Wolf kit. A short pitch for this armor was shown in a recent CoroCoro video, and shows off the limited edition card. Participants in the campaign can obtain the card through Battle Card Hunter arcade machines, then tear off the right side of the card and redeem it at participating stores for the armor.

Feature by CoroCoro

    CoroCoro has announced its new 100 piece limited, following the White Tiger Form! It's the Hunter Wolf "Flame Wolf" version, which features red armor for the wolf-type Zoid. It'll probably be obtained in a manner similar to the others. We'll have more details soon. A video reviewing this issue of CoroCoro was recently posted showing off a tailless build of the Zoid, with extra detailing.

    TakaraTomy recently posted a tweet showing off the chess piece prototypes. These are special chess pieces scheduled to be released in late June. Pre-orders are already available, for a box including 10 pieces. Buying the box set will net you all 10 types. Each Zoid comes in gold and silver.

    Also on display at the Hobby Show were the upcoming Zoids Wild Kits: The Dilofos and the Pachycedos. A tweet by Zoids Official shows off the Pachycedos as well as an example custom. The Pachy is looking great. TakaraTomyToys posted a picture of the Dilofos as well.

    Concept art has been posted for Drake and Onigiri, showing off their earlier concept drafts. The Anime twitter also posted concept art for Drake's parents (the version seen in the anime, of course.)

    TakaraTomy has uploaded digital versions of the Book of Adventure, Volumes 1 ~ 3. You can now read them online! The Book of Adventure(s) are supplementary booklets that were given out as purchase benefits at certain stores, usually detailing current and upcoming Zoids with customization examples inside.

    Battle Card Hunter has announced their new limited time cards. The first is the Death Rex Purple Dragon Form, obtained from the June issue of CoroCoro. This card features a sparkling armor. By using the card in Battle Card Hunter you can unlock the Battle card "Clash of Arch-enemies" which features the Wild Liger. These two cards can be lined up next to each other to create a continuous battle image.

    CoroCoro is still going strong with the limited model kits. They recently announced the Fang Tiger "White Tiger Form", a kit limited to 100 units, which will be given out through a silver peel campaign. The ticket is available through the May issue of CoroCoro. CoroCoro posted about it in a recent blog entry. Zoids Official also posted a photo of a panel lined example on Twitter.

    The May issue of CoroCoro was packaged with decals for the Wild Liger and Death Rex! These shiny decals could be used to create the "Wild Liger Thunder Lion Form" and the "Death Rex Burning Dragon Form". TakaraTomy has a tweet here showing them both off. CoroCoro also has a blog entry about it.

- New Campaign Decals

    TT has announced a new set of campaign stickers. The Wild Liger Blue Thunder Version and the Gil Raptor Black Dragon Version. Starting from April 27th, these decals can be obtained by purchasing 2,000 yen or more worth of items at participating stores. You can see them both applied to Zoids here, and there's a campaign page on the official site. TakaraTomy's youtube channel has a video showing them off in better detail.

    King of Blast is ramping up to the coming DLC, and they've revealed their fourth new Zoid - the Gilraptor Emperor. This Zoid has a striking resemblance to the Gilraptor Black Dragon Version decals being released soon. Either way, it seems to have its own set of unique animations, which is a nice touch. The official twitter also showed a new image of the red Grachiosaurus.

New Commercial

    Battle Card Hunter recently received its second wave of cards, featuring a few more new Zoid variations! One of which is the Hunter Wolf Command, a very notable Zoid based on the Command Wolf~ With the launch of the second wave, Zoids Official published the artwork for the Secret Card of the first bulletin, seen here. This artwork was done by Tokuyama, using the same style as the Concept Art Books! Starting today, a promo card of the Hunter Wolf is also available in shops where you can play Battle Card Hunter.

New Commercial

    In concept art news, a height chart was posted for the current Zoids Wild characters. There was also concept art for one of the houses from a recent episode, as well as Arashi's village. Last, have a concept art for Penne's character.

    The artist for the recent Wixoss collaboration cards, Ishibashi Yosuke recently posted beautiful high detail images of the artwork used for those cards. I highly recommend checking it out, because the art is just amazing!

    For April Fools, CoroCoro set up a joke announcing that a new Licca-chan (a dress up doll popular in Japan) version of the Death Rex would be released! In their blog article they go over a ton of photos featuring the two spending time together, and even went so far as to make a youtube video!
