Zoids Wild EX-ZERO has concluded as of the December issue of Hobby Japan Magazine, and Revolver posted an image showing off all of the customs from the magazine! Soon after, it was announced that there's going to be a Zoids Wild EX-ZERO All Works Exhibition held on December 20th! At this exhibit people will be able to see all of the customs that appeared throughout the series, which is a great send off for the final chapter.

 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.

 Zoids Generations has been updated with the final chapter! Follow Midori and the group into the depths of the volcano, to find what is lurking beneath the earth. We took some stylistic choices with the formatting for this chapter. Hopefully it isn't too offputting! And while the main story may be over, we still have plenty of content to cover for this book. Another chapter / side story, profiles, and concept art. So look forward to future updates!

 Zoids Official Fan Book 2 has been updated to include the zoids, pilots, and organization charts for the Republican Army. This has taken a little longer than expected, but Empire profiles to come soon!

 The Art of HMM has been released, and is already arriving at buyers homes! To recap some of content posted recently, the official twitter account mentioned that the book includes a discussion corner with the creators of HMM and a checklist. They also posted the some zoomed in photos, so you can get a better look at some of the art digitally. They've posted Death Stinger, Gun Sniper LS, Iron Kong SS, Liger Zero, Sturm Tyrann Set, Shadow Fox, Liger Zero EM, and Lightning Saix.

 So, this is a rather embarassing update, but apparently in the process of working on Zoids Wild EX-ZERO Chapter 2, I missed an entire page! I don't know how this was missed on the two or three subsequent proofreads of the translation, but there it is. The missing page has been uploaded (along with the directory links fixed), and Cutter no longer magically teleports from one Zoid to another! Huzzah!

 The Interlude chapter has been added to Zoids Generations! This is a short break between Chapter 7 and 8. It looks back on the history of Jin, Masakuni, and Seiki. It also serves as our first major introduction to Liger Red Hiou! So if you've been wondering what the deal is with this unusual liger, check it out!

 Another series, Zo-Zo-Zo-Zombie-Kun has recently received a new toy series! In celebration CoroCoro Online did a collaboration article. A survival guide for how to deal with Zombie Zoids! In this article, the zombie-Zoid dubbed ZZ, created from a Beast Liger, rampages throughout a base! Since this is just a fun little one-off we decided to go ahead and include a rough google translation of it over in the books section.

 The Art of HMM scored the highest illustrated book sales on Amazon Japan! Since our last update they've posted a few different images, including Gojulas the Ogre, Storm Sworder, and the Limited Cover. It looks like the Koto Direct limited cover will be the box art for the HMM Geno Saurer Raven Spec. while the default (publicly available) cover will be the Blade Liger AB Bang Spec. As a general reminder the book releases on September 17th for 3300 yen.

 Chapter 7 of Zoids Generations is up! There's a short secondary chapter in between Chapters 7 and 8 that we'll be covering next. This time around, Midori, Ken, and Jin must protect the group from an onslaught of Bio Zoids as Seki prays to the Sparkling Beast. In the process, Jin is confronted by an old foe, and we find out if the Rez Wolf can really surpass its former nemesis!

 Chapter 3 has been added to Zoids Wild EX-ZERO! This chapter introduces the Sniptera, and also a clear connection to the anime world of Zoids Wild Zero. This is interesting, as there was mention in an earlier interview that they would've liked to include Zoids like the Genospino without contradicting the lore of the show. I'm sure we can all also appreciate flying sort of cats!

 The next 3 chapters have been added for Official Fan Book 2! This concludes the story segment of the book, and what a conclusion it was! From here, work will be moving towards the Zoid profile sections, gathering info for the Zoids of the Empire and the Republic. Thanks to everyone who has been reading this book along with us!

 Dengeki Hobby Magazine 2005 April, July, September, and October issues have been added to the articles section! These issues include a lot of notable things. Customs on Gravity Saurer, Ultimate Seismo, Blade Liger BLOX, Rez Wolf, Reaper, and Souga. As well as concept art of Ultimate & Berserk Seismo, Murasame & Hayate Liger, Deadly Kong, Bamburian, and the Bio Zoids. Tons of stuff for you to check out!

 The ZOIDS ART OF HMM twitter has made a new post showing off examples of a couple of the HMM Zoids, Shield Liger and Geno Saurer. They've also announced the details of the book! It'll be released September 17th for 3,300 yen, and consist of 176 pages in B5 format. If you buy from Kotobukiya Direct the book will come with an exclusive cover.

 Zoids Wild 2 is releasing its second manga volume on June 26th! This manga has an excellent style, so I highly recommend picking it up. You can get a copy at Amazon Japan for 670 yen (about $6). Amazon JP requires a separate account from your US amazon account, but you can pay with your normal cards. Some chapter previews were posted over on twitter showing off the more recent chapter art, including the Zero Grizis.

 Imachorii, over on twitter posted some beautiful images of a couple of concepts from the Concept Art Books! Always nice seeing clean digital images of these!

 Ninjas, and scorpions, and mummies, oh my! Chapter 6 of Zoids Generations has been added, and it has some fairly dramatic scenes. I won't spoil to much. We only have 2 more chapters of the main story to go, but that's only half of the book. There's still customs and models yet to do!

 The twitter for HMMZ_Art has revealed their plans for this twitter account! It was created to advertise the upcoming art book, ZOIDS ART OF HMM 2006~2020, an amazing collection of box art, concept art, and story info, with over 80 pieces of package art from the HMM series. This book is being printed with high-saturation printing technology to maximize its beautiful artwork. Not only will it include the concept sketches seen in the instruction manuals and the art along the side of the box, but it'll also contain the battle stories that were written for each Zoid. Many of these stories have aspects unique to HMM. We're looking forward to hearing more about this project!

 3 more chapters have been added to Official Fan Book 2! In these chapters we meet the Geno Breaker and Death Stinger, and both Zoids prove to be a terrifying force. We only have 3 story chapters left in this book, including the epilogue, but they're shaping up to have some awesome doom and gloom.

 TT has posted their latest booklet, Operation Manual Z, for free online in consideration of customers being unable to go out! It was in this book that we got our first full look at the Zero Phantoth. It also shows off some nice custom examples, tiny concept art thumbnails, etc.
