A T-Spark specific event, T-Spark Zone Core was held back in February. It featured a variety of Zoid displays including some RMZ prototypes, Metamor Verse, etc. Hobby Watch posted a photo review of the event.

- Event Report

 Both HMM art books recently received digital releases, which feature beautiful clean artwork from the HMM series and more! You can find these on most stores that sell Japanese E-Books such as Amazon JP, Book-Walker, etc. Be sure to understand how the books are viewed so you know what you're getting into!

 When Kirin Beer company was posting about one of its products, the Lager Zero, quite a few fans took great amusement in the spelling which was only a single character off from Liger Zero. After some social media back-and-forth, it seems Kirin Beer may actually be collaborating with TT to create an official collab product! While being sold by a beer company, Lager Zero is named for it having 0% alcohol.

 Now this one's really out left field. Takara Tomy is collaborating with Fairy Tail Parfum, who often does anime-based collabs to make a series of Zoids themed perfumes. There's a special scent made for several of the anime characters, including Bang, Fine, Irvine, Moonbay, Raven, Schwarz, Prozen, Sieg, and Shadow. They'll be selling for 5,500 yen each. Shipping items like this can be a bit of a challenge due to shipping laws, so you may want to keep an eye on Ebay or similar sites for them. If you try to use a larger import service there's a solid chance that even if the purchase goes through, they won't be able to actually ship the product to you.

 A Japanese manga called JK Modeler's Guide, featuring a high school girl building plastic model kits apparently got a Zoids Cameo featuring the Zoids Wild Gilraptor.

 While the Zoids Chaotic Century Pop Up Tour concluded its in-store run a while back, they decided to also do a run of products in the online store Loft. This sale has unfortunately already ended, but there were a lot of products to look at, many using the illustrations seen throughout the event printed on products such as acrylic standees. They also released a bunch of cute illustration sketches that'd been considered for the main event, but didn't quite make the cut, and these are definitely worth checking out if you appreciated the cute, wholesome art from before.

Illustration Sketches: Bang and Fine enjoying some sushi, The group chatting it up with the white Gordos, Marcus wearing a shirt featuring an Osaka's Hanshin Tigers baseball team reference, Moonbay and her Gustav enjoying the blossoms, Irvine sharing food with his Command Wolf, The group enjoying Taiwanese food, Watermelon splitting contest, Thoma offering icecream to his Dibison, Organoid souvenir shopping, Rease and her Zoids enjoying the autumn leaves, Zoid bath time, Hermann and Louise getting lunch, Rease and Nicholo childhood drawings, Bang and his Zoids enjoying the blossoms, Rudolph enjoying some rice crackers with Rosso's Iron Kong, The group enjoying some snacks, Raven and his Zoids enjoying the blossoms, Maria and Fine, Rosso, Viola, and Rudolph at the zoo, Child!Raven and his parents, Irvine and his sister.

 Speaking of updates with a lot of links, Medarot has done a few more Zoids collabs over the past few months, introducing a lot more Zoid mechs into the game as well as character costumes.

 In a huge surprise Zoids Official posted a teaser image of the next AZ Zoid, depicting a strangely familiar weapon. It was titled as a new project by the codename Super Dreadnought: The same codename used for the Ultra Saurus in the Zoids Battle Story. It looks like they'll be releasing not just the Ultra Saurus, but also including the Gravity Cannon! This is an amazing addition going above and beyond what it needed to be. The Gravity Cannon has been such a sought-after kit that its been made numerous times by fans, but even when making them yourself, it's hard and costly to do so. With what we saw in the AZ Death Saurer it's also exciting to think about the incredible engineering that may go into the Ultra Saurus!

 Another unexpected variant was announced for the Sea Panther, a Dark Army Spec.! This black-armored kit includes a glow-in-the-dark green frame, which should look amazing. It'll be a T-Spark exclusive. For people state-side, you can usually find those on Kotobukiya-US. More photos can be seen on the Takara Tomy Mall. This kit is expected to release in August for 6,050 yen.

 The Murasame Liger Original Color is already up for pre-order on the TakaraTomy Mall (Scheduled for July for 14,300 Yen) so we're beginning to see more official photos for it. These photos also confirm that it comes with a glow in the dark blade, a shout out to the old motorized kit.

 In the last couple of RMZ kits TT has started including the teaser images on the website, as well! That means that we got a new reveal with the Urban Wuf's page, the Shield Liger Mark II! It'll be interesting to see how they approach this variant, which has historically been plagued by fragile parts in the weapon attachments. That being said, of all the be-cannoned Shieldies, MK-II is my personal favorite, ever since seeing its antique-looking color scheme in Saga I.

 During the Blade Liger Panzer announcements they also revealed the next new RMZ to be the Irvine Special Lightning Saix! This is an interesting choice, as there's lots of potential for what they could do here. This cat looks like it'll have some giant murder mittens!

 We've started seeing more info about the Command Wolf Urban Warfare Special, starting with a cool teaser image! This marks the first time that this Command Wolf variant is receiving a model kit release. The added Rocket Launchers can rotate up and down. The newly-designed head, which is different from the standard RMZ Command Wolf (lacking some of the throat floof) allows for a greater range of motion and, of course, it comes with all the parts needed to make a basic Command Wolf so you can enjoy the greater range on the default Zoid. The kit is scheduled to release in August for 5,940 Yen (tax included.)

 A new page is available for the RMZ-016 Blade Liger Panzer! It has lots of nice photos and some concept art. The kit is scheduled to release in July for 9,900 yen. A promotional image was posted for it a while back along with a video preview. Hobby Watch also posted an interview of the kit and it looks absolutely stunning. The Blade Liger with the Panzer mane looks particularly cool.

 A post from a while back for the RMZ-15 Saber Tiger Raven Spec. showed that the Zoid comes with a pilot figure of Raven as well as a little Shadow figure. The Shadow figure has the wings stowed, so is different from the one being distributed with Raven's Geno Saurer. You can find concept art on its page (first link). This kit is scheduled to release in June for 7,150 yen (tax included.)

 The RMZ-009 Iron Kong released recently! You can view lots of photos on the site along with some concept art. SigemikanZ, customizer of the box art models also posted a nice look at both the detailed-up Kong and the box art.

 Hobby Watch posted an interview for the AMZ Berserk CAS units! It includes lots of photos of the products as well as some interesting insights into the development of both units.

 Kotobukiya posted a LABO Article going over the Lightning Saix Irvine and Gun Sniper Leena. It includes a ton of anime screenshot recreations as well as good looks at the two kits in their default colors.

 Figsoku posted some extra pictures of the beautiful chrome-gold Hunter Wolf Garo. Unfortunately this still seems to be venue-specific, so we'll be waiting for the second-hand market. That aside, the kit is gorgeous.

 A page has been made for the Great Extinction Exhibit collab kits, the Redonda Gabrigator and the Dimepulsar Rare Bone Ver. 2025. Hobby Watch also did a review of the special kits while Takara Tomy Toys posted a video.
