King of Blast is ramping up to the coming DLC, and they've revealed their fourth new Zoid - the Gilraptor Emperor. This Zoid has a striking resemblance to the Gilraptor Black Dragon Version decals being released soon. Either way, it seems to have its own set of unique animations, which is a nice touch. The official twitter also showed a new image of the red Grachiosaurus.

    Battle Card Hunter recently received its second wave of cards, featuring a few more new Zoid variations! One of which is the Hunter Wolf Command, a very notable Zoid based on the Command Wolf~ With the launch of the second wave, Zoids Official published the artwork for the Secret Card of the first bulletin, seen here. This artwork was done by Tokuyama, using the same style as the Concept Art Books! Starting today, a promo card of the Hunter Wolf is also available in shops where you can play Battle Card Hunter.

    In concept art news, a height chart was posted for the current Zoids Wild characters. There was also concept art for one of the houses from a recent episode, as well as Arashi's village. Last, have a concept art for Penne's character.

    The artist for the recent Wixoss collaboration cards, Ishibashi Yosuke recently posted beautiful high detail images of the artwork used for those cards. I highly recommend checking it out, because the art is just amazing!

    For April Fools, CoroCoro set up a joke announcing that a new Licca-chan (a dress up doll popular in Japan) version of the Death Rex would be released! In their blog article they go over a ton of photos featuring the two spending time together, and even went so far as to make a youtube video!

    Kotobukiya posted a painted example of the Liger Zero Marking Plus Ver. on their blog recently. Although the review uses a custom painted Liger, it shows off many of the decals that come with the Marking Plus ver. It seems Kotobukiya has intentionally left off any decal instructions for where they should be placed, encouraging model builders to place them according to their own preference!

    Zoids Generations has received a very rough update, completing Chapter 1. These translations are rewritten from Google Translate, so expect some errors. The general gist should come across in most cases, and I hope it will still benefit some fans who aren't able to read the original book.

    In addition, the tense of Zoids Generations is a little unclear. While some parts are written in past tense, some parts make more sense from the active perspective of the character. This was difficult to pin down, but for the sake of consistency we've opted to just stick to the present tense. There may be cases where I accidentally switched back to past tense. Feel free to point out those (and any other) mistakes. The few scenes that intentionally use past tense are those describing what happened between scenes.

    Finally, there were some notable issues in the original translation we had posted. So everything in Chapter 1 that we had up before has been corrected to present tense and the mistakes hopefully fixed (for example, neglecting to say that Souga raises his head when he roars, which made the reprimand not make any sense.)

    We've added a Concept Art page to the New Century anime section! This includes an assortment of 47 pieces of production sketches and renders, featuring various Zoids, characters, and other items or locations.

    Quick descriptions for the Japanese DVDs, Volumes 1 through 4 have been added to the Chaotic Century anime section. These reviews contain over 200 pieces of concept art in a small resolution, so I highly recommend checking it out. A big thanks to Falcarius for providing the images used in these overviews!

    The third volume of Zoid Wild's "Book of Adventure" was distributed in Japanese stores recently. This covers the current and upcoming model kits. Though we don't have more information on it at this time, you can probably find it on sites like Yahoo Japan and Mercari.

    The first limited armor for Zoids Wild: Battle Card Hunter has been released! This kit was released through the Battle Card Hunter arcade game in Japan. During this event the machines may drop an SR Card for the Wild Liger Blade. The right side of this card can be separated along the perferated line, and traded in as a ticket at select stores to receive the armor parts set. Like the Wild Liger Evil Armor it was released in a baggy. Though the pieces don't come in a box, they even did a box art style mockup image! A live stream of the event was posted on CoroCoro's Youtube Channel.

    Gallagher's Personal Gilraptor hit preorder stores quite a while ago, officially dubbed the Gilraptor Commander Machine. It features a purple body with black armor, yellow claws/blades, and red caps. The kit has a stock price of 3,000 Yen. TT posted a video of the kit in action, and you can view the stock images and box art on the TT Mall. We've gone ahead and added it to the model kit section, with the basic info snippets.

Build Review

    Aside from the Wild Liger Blade mentioned earlier, BCH is having a collab with Molly Fantasy stores. For a limited time they're distributing the Grachiosaurus Supreme Ver. and the Gilraptor Death Metal Ver. The Wild Rare Stegosage is also appearing as a limited time boss battle.

    A korean website called gmarket has started stocking some of the various Zoids Wild merchandise, including sticker books, lunch boxes, game books, coloring books, and more! There are a ton of items to choose from, and they're all quite cheap, so take a look!

    On March 20th, Zoids Bases in Japan (that is, select stores) started passing out Wild Liger "Black Flame Ver." stickers for purchases over 2,000 yen. This sticker sheet is, once again, for the Wild Liger.

Commercial

    The next set of Assemble Models for Zoids Wild have popped up for pre-order! This set includes the Fang Tiger, Gilraptor Commander, Dimepulsar, and Wild Liger. Which is a little unusual because the Wild Liger showed up before in the first issue. You can pre-order this on some sites for 4,104 ish yen (not including discount) for a box of 10. This means there will be some extras.

    The upcoming CoroCoro limited, the Wild Liger Extreme Release Form, has seen some new photos. These are posted over on the Zoids Official twitter.

    Zoids Wild: King of Blast has confirmed 6 new Zoids to be released in a free DLC available this summer! So far we've seen the Grachiosaurus, Hunter Wolf, and Dimepulsar. A general overview video was posted on the TT Youtube Channel, as well as some individual commercials. See their videos below!

    TakaraTomy posted a silly crossover video, with Zoids featured on their Ania playsets, which you can see featured at the beginning of the video~

    Zoids Official posted a double page spread from the Zoids Wild Manga. This snippet is from the April issue of CoroCoro~
