Kotobukiya has announced some new reissues, including the Dark Horn, Beam Gatling Set, and Death Stinger! Dengeki Hobby has the Dark Horn and Beam Gatling Set both scheduled for a November 2019 release, at 6,800 yen and 2,300 yen respectively. The Death Stinger is scheduled for a December 2019 rerelease at 14,800 yen retail price.

    Exciting news! A few months ago we saw some leaks for Zoids Wild kits, including Zoids like the Cannon Bull and Beast Liger. TakaraTomy has announced these kits officially, boasting them as the second generation of Zoids Wild during the Tokyo Toy Show 2019! This implies a large continuation of the series, and with the reveal of a new Gilraptor, we have confirmation of kits up to ZW34. Articles on Dengeki Hobby Online and Figsoku take a more in depth look at the event. A preview of the diorama setup for the next commercial was also posted on Twitter.

- Beast Liger & Cannon Bull

    With the announcement of these two Zoids, TT has published their images and box art. They both have a retail price of 3,500 yen with a release date of July 28th. Beast Liger features a two-part Wild Blast, first functioning as a standard Wild Liger, and later with the claws extending. This is an awesome addition to the earlier gimmick. It's noted to have an "Evo Blast" instead of a Wild Blast, which has some interesting implications for the series story. There's a video of the walk cycle and Wild Blast on Twitter. Rakuten is running a special sale where you'll receive weapon remodeling parts for pre-ordering Beast Liger.

    Cannon Bull is a clear callback to the earlier Dibison, even having a different type than its actual name, and featurs many similarities in design. Except, it's actually called a bull now. Nice! The Wild Blast features gun firing motions for the barrels on its back, and a plate of metal covers the pilot to act as a bullet shield. TT Toys has a video of the walk cycle and Wild Blast.

- Gilraptor Rare Bone

    This unique version of the Gilraptor was previewed at the Tokyo Toy Show. While the color scheme itself is interesting, it's also listed as ZW34. This means there are 3 other kits (31 ~ 33) that we have no idea the species of yet! This particular unit will be available for pre-sale at the Dino Expo in July, and receive a wider public release at an undetermined future date.

- Zoids Wild Weapons & Customization

    One of the most requested things of Zoids Wild was the ability to customize our Zoids, and it seems TakaraTomy has listened! Aside from the ZW30 weapons set we've seen leaks of, a large number of weapons were previewed at the Tokyo Toy Show. Not only do these weapons attach to the numerous pegs on Wild kits, but they're also designed with pegs on the weapons themselves. This means you can combine the weapons in a variety of ways, creating your own unique combinations. These weapons are designed to fit the common pegs and socks of Wild Kits.

    Aside from these additional weapons, TT has previewed many part combinations between the Beast Liger and Wild Liger, implying more interchangeable parts in the second series. It is unclear at this time how many Zoids this applies to.

- CoroCoro Zoids

- Wild Liger "Dual Thunder Gun Armed Ver."

    CoroCoro has announced a Beast Liger variant as part of its upcoming silver peel campaign. This particular Beast Liger comes with two gold chromed Thunder Guns. This will likely include a default Beast Liger to go along with them, but it's interesting as it's the first Zoids Wild limited from CoroCoro to feature unique weapons. The next closest was the Wild Liger Extreme Release Form, which included a set of transparent Twin Fangs.

- Hunter Wolf Flame Wolf Form

    TT Toys posted a video of the Flame Wolf's walk cycle, while Zoids Official posted a couple of pictures of the model kit.

    The Next Generation World Hobby Fair is upon is, only one day after the Zoids Wild anime is scheduled to end! Like earlier WHFs, there will be a featured Zoid Building event. This time, for a brand new Kuwaga Rare White. During this build event you can use a variety of new weapons to arm your Zoid! There'll also be pre-sales of the Beast Liger at this event, giving visitors a chance to grab this Zoid early.

    The summer DLC has been released, introducing 6 new Zoids into the game! Each Zoid has 2 'variations' with 2 colors each. These variations are color swaps with stat modifications. An official preview is posted below. This DLC is free, and available as a game update. A trailer can be viewed on the Zoids Official twitter.

- DLC Final Info Video

- King of Blast Tournament

    A tournament was recently held featuring the King of Blast DLC! The whole thing was live streamed, and winners could win an assortment of prizes. Most notable is a Death Rex Purple Dragon Form, which was available to the 1st place winner. The follow up won a Wild Liger Guren Ver. (WHF edition) and 3rd place won a Gilraptor Commander Machine.

    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!

    The Chaotic Century Manga now has a Volume 1 cover! This features all new art from Ueyama. An article by CoroCoro details a bit of the first volume, including the cover, some of the art seen inside, and the new concept art! The first volume will be released on July 12th. Volume 2 on September 12th, and Volume 3 has received a release date of October 11th!

    In other news, there's now a twitter (Sin Kiju Zoids) dedicated specifically to this release. They've posted a few pictures of the WIP, including character sketches, page previews, color art, and clean manga images.

    A web comic, I Want To Play Bandai, has posted a chapter prominently featuring Zoids! Not just any Zoids, but many of them, from all different model kit lines. Masterpiece, NJR, Wild, etc.! This chapter features Zoids interacting with Sylvanian Families toys (small anthro animal figures.)

    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.

    A notice has been featured regarding Volume 3 of the Zoids Wild anime blu-rays. Evidently there's an audio glitch that occurs on the main video of the disc. Although TT is offering returns for these glitched copies, this likely only applies to residents of Japan. So, if you're looking at getting one of these, I recommend you contact the store you're purchasing from to figure out what your coverage is should you receive one of these defective copies.

    Ueyama & CoroCoro have recently announced that the Chaotic Century manga will be reprinted in 3 large volumes! These volumes will include the original manga (not the EX doujins). There will also be extras including character sketches, additional stories, and some color images that were originally printed in CoroCoro during its original serialization. English fans may have seen quite a few of these color images in the form of cover art for the Viz release. The first of the three volumes will be released on July 12th. The other two release dates remain to be announced.

    Out of respect for the manga artist, who is my favorite Zoids manga artist, I've made the decision to remove the Chaotic Century manga from the website for the time being. I want comic sales to thrive as much as possible, and having the manga hosted here could be a detriment to that. I hope everyone will understand, and I apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. While yes, we do have other manga up, almost all of it is out of print, from magazines difficult to obtain overseas, or already provided by free (in the case of Zoids Wild.) Stores like CDJapan will likely carry the new Chaotic Century reprint, so I strongly encourage fans of the manga to pick up a copy!

    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.

Feature by CoroCoro

    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.

    The HMM Shield Liger DCS-J was displayed at Shizuoka Hobby Show 2019, at the Zoids booth. Kotobukiya posted a tweet of the Liger's display. Fans have commented about the light coloring in the official tweet, but other photos have showed a darker black for the armor. This will likely be the case with the actual kit, but time will tell.

    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.)
