The December issue of CoroCoro announced a brand new manga, Zoids Wild 2+! As Wild 2 ended just recently we had been wondering if there was going to be a follow up, and it seems there is! The issue showed off a color image of the main character, and we've also seen some sketches over on Moritya's twitter. For those who want to know how Zoids Wild 2 ended, you can pick up the book (Japanese version) over on AmazonJP.

 TakaraTomy has posted the Zoids Operation Manual Extra over on their website. It's a PDF that shows off the book, and was our first good look at Xeno Rex and the upcoming weapon CPs.

 The Zoids Official twitter account has started posting the Infinity Blast manga, normally viewable on the Zoids Nintendo Switch News feed, on twitter! So far you can view File 1, File 2, File 3, File 4, and File 5,

 From November 12th to November 29th, Zoids BCH will be holding a limited WR Rising Liger Shirogane card campaign, the color of Rising Liger piloted by Will of the Shining Lance Corps.! They also posted cards for the Rising Liger IB and Wild Liger Evil.

 Zoids Wild Senki's first episode has been posted to youtube! It has some amazing animation, and is packed full of Zoidy combat. So check out the video below~

- Zoids Wild Senki: Episode 1

 CoroCoro has revealed the brand new rex-type Zoid, the Xenorex! Check out their blog for our first official peak at this Zoid. In the article, it's mentioned to be the new hero machine, implying that it'll be the protagonist of the new series, Zoids Wild Senki.

 Zoids Wild "Blast Unleashed", the international version of "King of Blast" for the Nintendo Switch released today! Some content creators were given special Battle Boxes, which included the game, 4 badges/pins, 15 special game cards that included button combos and information, a poster, and a set of stickers.

 Moritya over on twitter posted some teaser pages from the Zoids Wild 2 manga! Which ended this month, with the November 2020 issue of CoroCoro. It was a crazy ride, and the artwork used in the manga is amazing. The detail is fantastic, and quite expressive. We're look forward to seeing the final book print! The other Zoids Wild 2 books are available for purchase over on AmazonJP.

 We have two new images from Zoids Wild: Battle Card Hunter! The Drei Panther Blood and Sonic Bird Garnet. It seems that this time around, some of the original Zoids are getting custom decals, even if they didn't have them before. It adds character!

 With Wild Liger releasing any time now, Kotobukiya has posted a tweet showing off the Kotobukiya Direct exclusive benefit, the Z Cap "Freedom Blue" Version. The actual product looks like a much richer blue than the CG images, so it'll be cool to see them used on kits!

 Burning Liger has gotten its own commercial! This shows the zoid squaring off against some Cannon Bulls, and making use of its Core Drive Weapon.

- Commercial

 So exciting stuff for Zoids Wild Senki. A week or two ago, Yodobashi posted some wallpapers from various series, which included screeshots from Zoids Wild Senki. Now we've got an actual trailer for the series! The first of these 3-minute episodes will be aired on October 17th, one day after the final episode of Zoids Wild Zero.

- Trailer

 The ZWZ anime twitter posted concepts for the Imperial Army Immigration Ship, which includes the full ship view, the gardens, the city, etc. There's so much detail that went into this thing!

 Now that Stand River has concluded, we'll be covering all of the new product details that were published during the stream. It was an amazing event, and it was so cool to see everyone's customs! You can view the entire gallery here. Definitely give it a look!

 In the meantime, this post will be organized by the order that things were revealed during the event. If you missed the livestream, no worries, Kotobukiya is arranging to post videos to youtube soon! So don't mind the livestream link being broken.

- Zoids Key Charms!

 Just before Stand River, Kotobukiya announced their decision to release a set of Zoids Key Charms. The full set of metal charms consists of Wild Liger/Arashi, Gannontoise/Onigiri, Scorpear/Penne, Triceradogos/Gyoza, Hunter Wolf/Salt, and Spideath/Youkan. The set is scheduled for a January 2021 release as a Kotobukiya Direct Exclusive, for 2,000 yen each. It is not sold as a set! We have pre-order links down at the bottom of the page. Be sure to place your pre-orders by October 28th, as after that, they'll only be selling the remaining unsold stock before closing pre-orders.

- HMM Box Art Reveals

 Stand River also featured a reveal of several box arts, including the digital version for the HMM Wild Liger, the Pteras Bomber, and the Geno Breaker Repackage Ver., featuring a beautiful scene from Official Fan Book 2.

- HMM Revamps!

 Kotobukiya started off with a couple of new rerelease announcements. A new release of the HMM Panzer CAS, now in Marking Plus version, and a new Shadow Fox Marking Plus Version! So for all those who've been waiting for Fox, now's your chance!

- Wild Liger Guren Chrome Reveal!

 The final Wild Liger Guren was shown off in the event, complete with its chrome parts, clear caps, and clear purple eyes and Wild Blast parts. The camera's white balance caused most of the details to be washed out, so please excuse the lower detail.

- HMM Fangtiger Prototype Reveal!

 We got our first look at the Fangtiger model kit tonight! While we saw concept art earlier, I never would have guessed how many movable parts this Zoid has. It's really impressive. During the Wild Blast, the Panthera Armor folds out (like the moto kit) and the blades come forward. The blades are articulated so that they can take that 'spread out' pose that's used in the anime, and the pits of the blades (the lines) are also separate pieces! In other words, the blades can stretch slightly for the Wild Blast. The armor on the upper rear legs opens up to reveal some vents, a feature new and exclusive to the HMM verson of the kit.

 Like the HMM Wild Liger, the Fangtiger comes with a pilot figure. Bacon looks highly detailed. The reveal of Wild Liger's box art noted that the Zoids Wild kits will have their own designation, with Wild Liger being "W001".

- Rev Raptor Prototype Reveal!

 Fangtiger isn't the only prototype shown off. Rev Raptor's prototype was also revealed! There's a lot of detail crammed into this tiny kit, and it sports the same amount of articulation we've come to appreciate from Kotobukiya. The claws and blades also look quite sharp.

- HMM Customize Parts Pile Bunker Unit!

 The Rev Raptor is going to coincide with a release of a new HMM Customize Parts set, the Pile Bunker Unit! The unit has a movable pilebunker that can slide quite far forwards and backwards, as well as a mount that lets it tip up and down, and small movable panels on the top of the unit that can stand up or tuck back.

- HMM Raven Raptor!

 Kotobukiya also posted on Twitter that we'll be getting an HMM Raven Raptor! Many of you may recognize this as a Yuji Kaida variant. We've had several others appear in the HMM line, so this is an expected (and welcome) update. The Raven Raptor will be packaged with the Pile Bunker, just like the original motorized release.

- HMM Gilraptor 3D Model!

 Kotobukiya showed off the HMM Gilraptor's 3D Rig, in place of a prototype (as it's not quite ready yet). Although it's awesome to see, it's hard to see some of the details. So, for those who may have forgotten, here is the artwork for it that was posted at the last Stand River! It'll be full of beautiful details. You can see the X-style zig zags on the armor in the 3D model, a custom detail of the HMM.

- HMM Death Rex Reveal!

 As fans have pondered for many months, Kotobukiya has now announced an HMM Death Rex! The initial artwork looks amazing, and you can see that this kit is full of anime-accurate details. This includes the brown on the large Jaws and even the anime accurate sharp claws! It also looks like it'll have a rather intricate Uvula Drill, which, if the kit matches the artwork, can completely retract and also extend quite far past the jaws like in the show.

 The Death Rex Purple Dragon Form was also confirmed as a store exclusive, though there were no images shown for it during the event.

- HMM Liger Zero X!

 As Kotobukiya wrapped up their live build of the HMM Wild Liger, they dropped a final surprise reveal on us! The HMM Liger Zero X! This kit looks amazing, and it's one that people have been wanting for a long, long time. It was great to see a prototype, and it looks to really honor all of the X's design scheme.

 The Youtube Link for Stand River has been posted, and features a countdown until the beginning of the event! They plan to show prototypes, discuss upcoming releases, and show tons of gorgeous customs at this event, so be sure to tune in. We'll leave the link here at the top throughout the duration of the event.

 Kotobukiya has made a blog post announcing some upcoming releases. This includes a Liger Zero Dedicated Schneider Unit Marking Plus Version (which lacks clear coloress parts), which features a new decal sheet, different from the complete version of Schneider Marking Plus. For example, including the Ray Force insignias. It's scheduled to release in March 2021. In February, there'll be releases for the Liger Zero Jager Marking Plus Ver., Saber Tiger Marking Plus Ver., and the Zoids Customize Parts "Beam Gatling Set."

 The pre-order table at the bottom of this page has been updated to include all upcoming preorders, including Hobby Search, which still has orders open for the Hagane Works Blade Liger.

 A new video has been released to show off the Burning Liger and its accompanying Core Drive Weapon. You can see a lot more articulation for the weapon than in earlier videos, and can also see different uses for the weapon and a build review for the Liger.

 Although we forgot to cover this during the last batch of news posts, Mantan Web has published an article announcing the start of a new Zoids Wild Youtube Series! This series will consist of monthly 3-minute videos, done in the anime style. It is scheduled to start airing this fall.

 The series will focus around the Burning Liger, a state-of-the-art Zoid developed by the Imperial Army to combat the Republic, which had gained an advantage. Local conflict and depleting energy sources, triggered by an explosion in the population has lead to an all-out war between the two forces, and Burning Liger serves as the answer! We already know the series will feature Burning Liger and Gilraptor LC, but we highly suspect other unique Zoids will be appearing~

 Zoids Wild BCH has released a new commercial, featuring some of the awesome custom-detailed Zoids in the game!

- Video

 Hasbro Pulse has posted their full Day 2 video for Hasbro PulseCon 2020! Those of you who weren't able to catch the livestream can now watch the full segment below. The video should be time stamped, but in case it doesn't work, the Zoids segment starts around 55 minutes in. You can also see that Liger Zero 3D opener!

- Sped Up Motors

 There was so much information to organize yesterday that I totally forgot to mention the motors! Hasbro representatives discussed motor improvements to the Hasbro kits, which will feature faster motors than their Japanese counterparts. For some Zoids, like Wild Liger, this is a significant difference. These changes contribute to the Battler mechanic that the line is boasting. In other words, line your Zoids up and let them duke it out!

 We've put together a comparison video from official footage. It's not the best comparison since the angle does not highlight the Awakened's speed compared to the standard Wild Liger, but pay attention to how fast the paws are sliding along. This shows the strength of the revamped motors.
