Battle Card Hunter News!   [Official]


    The third bulletin of Battle Card Hunter was launched a while ago, and you can view most of the cards on the official website. This even lists the limited time cards. The limited armor kit for the third bulletin is the Fang Tiger Saber! Now that the second bulletin is over, the secret card art for Death Rex has been posted. An article by Dengeki Hobby discusses some of these cards.




- New Limited Game Cards

    Starting from August 8th, the Wild Rare card Fang Tiger "White Tiger Form" will be available! This card is based on the CoroCoro limited armor.

    The Command Liger (featured from Zoids Wild Battle Wars) will also be available from August 15th through September 11th. This is an interesting choice, since Battle Wars itself never quite took off. It includes all the basic cards: Normal, Rare, Super Rare, and Wild Rare.




- CoroCoro Limited Card!

    The CoroCoro September 2019 issue comes with a limited edition card, which features the Beast Liger. It contains a scannable code on the back of the card, which if scanned into a Battle Card Hunter machine, will award the exclusive card "Meeting a Partner"!




- McDonalds Campaign!

    On August 31st and September 1st, visitors of McDonalds in Japan can obtain a Beast Liger M by purchasing a Happy Set All-Star with Water. By using the limited battle code on the back of the card, you can also get the Death Rex M, and a mysterious subtype of Zoid called the "Blue Knight"! An article from Dengeki Hobby details the Death Rex card.

Gojulas Gunner!   [Official]


    The Gojulas Gunner has been posted to the Kotobukiya website. This is a Kotobukiya Direct exclusive, meaning you'll need to go through a proxy to buy it, unless you buy a second hand Zoid. The retail price is 29,800 which means you may be paying close to $500 by the time you get through import fees. Keep this in mind when shopping through sites like Ebay, etc. The markup may seem high, but be sure to factor in service fees, international shipping, etc.

Zoids Index Updates!  [Site]


    A page has been added for Awakened Wild Liger and Wild Liger Guren Ver. in the Zoids Index. These Zoids don't have much lore within the Zoids Wild universe, so the pages are relatively short.

Zoids Wild Second Generation!  [Official]


    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.

ZW Battle Card Hunter Update!  [Official]


    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.
