We'd already heard about the ZW54 Xeno Evolution Arms "Scissor Unit", which is now available on the TakaraTomy Mall, and is scheduled for a February 20th release for 1,000 yen. Now, they've announced a second version: The ZW55 Xenorex Scissors XA, which features the unit in swapped colors, installed onto a white Xenorex. This kit is scheduled for release on February 20th, for 3,500 yen.

 Zoids Infinity Coliseum gave us a sneak peak at the color alternate for the upcoming Xeno Evolution Arms "Buster Unit". The Xenorex "Buster XA" will be printed in black, with a slightly off-black tone used for the Xeno Evolution Arms.

 A new video has been posted to show off the ZW53 Ignition Booster. In this video they try it out on different Zoids, and really show off how good it can look with different setups. Especially with all those motorized parts.

 The new manga by Moritya is in full swing, printed each month in CoroCoro Comic. Some teaser pages of the February Issue have been posted over on twitter. The Zoids look amazing.

 It wouldn't be an update without some BCH~ Liger The Arthur "Dragon Slayer" and Geno Breaker Phantom appeared as boss encounters starting on January 28th. Dragon Slayer is noted to be an evolved Arthur! Zero Grizis Berserk also appeared at that time. Images have been posted for the Fang Liger Extreme Release Form and Zero Grizis. Blade Liger General AB, Genospino Mare, and Stegosage Trance are also available in the game. The general AB looks amazing.

 A few new episodes of Zoids Infinity Coliseum have been posted, but rather than post a whole bunch of videos, we'll be going with links. Episode 17, Episode 18, Episode 19, Episode 20.

 TakaraTomy has announced a rather large campaign, with four entirely unique items up for grabs! From December 26th ~ February 28th, participants who purchase selected products (ZW45 Burning Liger, ZW47 Burning Liger CDW Impact Gatling Set, and ZW52 Xenorex) can remove the barcodes from the box and mail them in to the campaign address to participate in a special raffle that'll award 600 lucky winners with unique prizes.

 The campaign includes brand new Burning Liger Legend Blue (100 available), Xenorex Death Red (100 available), Z-Cap Republic Clear Purple Version (200 sets available), and Z-Cap Empire White Version (200 sets available). Winners are drawn at random, and the Burning Liger and Xenorex kits are sold separately. The prizes are armor parts. This campaign is limited to residents of Japan.

 The identity of ZW51 has been debated for a while, and it seemed odd to see releases up to ZW53 before ever catching wind of it. Now we know why. As it turns out, ZW51 is a blind kit box featuring one of 6 random kits! That's a lot of Zoids to squish into one number. The kit is scheduled to release on January 30th for 1,000 yen. Buyers will get one of the 6 following Zoids at random. Kuwaga SS (Sky Stealth), Gosock HA (Heavy Armed), Spideath NA (Ninja Attacker), Kuwaga FB (Fire Bomber), Gusock IC (Ice Commander), or Spideath Zi (Zi Model), which seems to be a shout out to the original Zenebas color scheme!

 The hype train for Xenorex has been steamrolling ahead, with tons of stuff to cover. A basic walk cycle was shown on Twitter, as well as a walk cycle featuring the Impact Gatling. Hobby Watch posted an article showing off the evolutions, and Zoids Official posted one of the CoroCoro images with CoroCoro posting the other.

 From the Hobby Search article we learned of two evolution forms of the Xenorex, the ZW57 Xeno Evolution Arms "Buster Unit", scheduled for Spring 2021, and the ZW54 Xeno Evolution Arms "Scissors Unit", scheduled for February 2021. The build review video of this kit shows off the two evolutions, and a rather interesting gimmick. Not only do they have larger foot parts, but they also have additional segments for the neck and tail, which makes the Xenorex considerably larger than it would be in base form. It's almost like the base Xenorex is a younger form, growing up into the two adult forms. Another build review video by TT showed off some of the concept art.

 The ZW53 Ignition Boosters are finally up on the TT Mall! You can view several images of this new Core Drive Weapon there. Zoids Official also posted a video showing off its motorized functions. The entire booster assembly moves forward and the panels on the top rise up for the booster configuration. This weapon works with any Zoid that has a compatible rail.

 Zoids Wild Senki Episode 3 has been posted to youtube, and you can view the video down below! This time we finally get introduced to the upcoming Xenorex, as well as getting to see the brand new Ignition Boosters and upcoming weapons in use! Senki continues to impress with its amazing animation style.

 Zoids Wild: Battle Card Hunter has released a few more cards! Sonic Bird Phoenix and Bazootle Noir can be picked up as boss cards. The Zero Grizis Dark Form was also given away as a special limited card for CoroCoro January 2021.

 The final volume of Zoids Wild 2 has been posted to AmazonJP for 670 yen! If you weren't able to collect the earlier CoroCoro volumes and would like to check out how this story ended, this is a great and affordable option.

 Moritya has also posted some teaser images and main image art over on twitter of the upcoming Zoids Wild 2+! A new manga beginning in CoroCoro, which features Xenorex as the main character's Zoid! Moritya's art is so nice, it's excellent news to hear of another manga coming out! There's also a nice Christmas Image based on ZW2.

 Chapter 4 of Zoids Wild EX-ZERO has been added to the books and articles directories! In this chapter, Cutter wakes up in a strange village, with an even stranger artifact nearby. Soon he meets the village guardian, a Zoid that has been appearing in his dreams. Why does the elusive Kagura Fox seem so familiar?

 The BCH site has updated with their 5th bulletin of the second expansion! There are so many beautiful cards in here, including a few brand new color schemes, so check it out! Clean digital images have also been posted for the Liger The Arthur and Zero Grizis.

 Xenorex is making a big appearance in CoroCoro! Not only is the Zoid itself striking a pose, but the December issue also discussed the upcoming Xeno Evolution S! The text seemed to imply that Xeno Evolutions may actually change size, not just armor. The issue also confirmed the spelling to be "Xenorex" all as one word, like Fangtiger.

 A promotional image of the Xenorex that appears in CoroCoro has been posted by Zoids Official. New product images for the kit were exhibited on TakaraTomy Mall's page for the ZW49 Missile + Laser Combat Unit, and it was also featured in the video that showed off these parts. The video gives us a clear look at the Zoid as it looks unmodified, out of the box. You can see the pilot beneath the clear orange canopy, which is an interesting and different placement from the Burning Liger.

 Daewon, who handles the domestic Zoids releases for Korea, has posted an exciting announcement! They'll be releasing their first truly Korean exclusive model kit, the limited edition Death Rex Gold Version! This gold chrome Rex will be releasing for 79,500 Won (roughly $70 USD) later this month on the 26th. It is limited to domestic shipping within Korea, so international fans will need to find a shopping service. I've personally not had any experience with this, so am unfortunately unable to provide any recommendations.

 The December issue of CoroCoro revealed our first CoroCoro 100 limited of the new line, the Burning Liger Limited Black Gold Version! This black Burning Liger with added gold parts will be available as a Silver Peel. Aside from that image, a fuller view of it (albeit small) can be seen on the My Zoids Contest 2020 page, as a Burning Liger will be part of the top prize set for each category.

 Two new weapon sets have been announced for the Zoids Wild series! The ZW49 Missile + Laser Combat Unit and the ZW50 Cannon + Laser Combat Unit! These include brand new weapons that we've seen in the short monthly anime episodes of Zoids Wild Senki. They feature almost the same weapons between them in different colors. They are scheduled to release on December 12th for 1000 Yen.

 A video posted online showed that they also have a couple of pieces not shown in the video. This includes the Attachment Frame (rereleased from earlier sets in red-blue) and the Flexible Joint, which is a ball joint that allows the weapons to swivel in quite a few directions! This, combined with the Conversion Caps that fit over a Zoids cap to turn them into a standard 3mm peg means tons of customization options, even for older Tomy kits.

Universal Weapons: Available in both sets.
 A-Z 4-Barrelled Short Laser Gatling x1
 A-Z Knight Sword x1
 A-Z Laser Drill x1
 A-Z Laser Shot Gun x2
 A-Z Mega Shield x1
 Attachment Frame (count unknown)
 Compact Ion Booster x2
 Conversion Caps x2
 Flexible Joint (count unknown)
 Support Gun Pod x1

ZW49 Exclusive: A-Z 3-Shot Guidance Missiles (Blue)

ZW50 Exclusive: A-Z Long Cannon (Red)

 These weapons sets include some weapons from more expensive kits, for use on other Zoids. The missiles from the blue set are from the Omega Rex, and the cannons from the red set are from the Genospino.

 The larger weapons are designed to attach to the front of the CDW Impact Gatling, spinning along with the motorized function. This includes the 4-Barrelled Short Laser Gatling and the A-Z Laser Drill for certain. The A-Z Knight Sword can be included as a knife within a case, or have the case fasten around the handle to turn it into a longsword.

 Burning Liger and its associated weapon and set are now released, but in the mean time, it has gotten a lot of video updates! Including TakaraTomy Toys posting a video of the Impact Gatling attached to the shoulder, which still spins! They also have an information video over on Youtube. The commercial shows off the upcoming ZW53 Ignition Boosters and the silhouette of the upcoming Twin Pile Bunker
