A few bootleg Zoids have also been added to Action Figures. These are the Zoids Machine Beast 'Crystal Version' figures, apparently from China (thanks to Falcarius for the name translation!) We hope to add more of these in the future but right now they're split into two sections, boosters and boxes.

    Zoids Material Hunters has launched! A link on this Tumblr Post will show a few Twitter posts made by players of the game, who have shared many customization options for the in-game Zoids.

    We've updated the Zoids Media Box with another set of videos. This time we have added the Rayse Tiger 'Three Ligers Legend' disc, including the small extra clip from the data file. Since the file was otherwise the same as the Brastle Tiger one we decided not to repost it. We've also added a fan-made splice that puts both the dvd videos together with footage from the Zoids Vs. III opening. The music isn't exactly choice but it should provide a full sequence of events from the legend video.

    The Zoids Fan Book EX article has been updated with Volumes 1-4. These were translated by Falcarius and generously permitted to be reposted here. At this time only Volume 3 has images, we apologize for that. We'll try to upload these as we obtain the Zoids but that may take some time. In the mean time the stories are excellent!

    While we appreciate that many people wish to provide scans please understand that we strictly avoid lifting images from other websites. If you wish to submit scans please be absolutely sure that they are your own scans and not just ones that you found on the internet. We appreciate the effort that other fans go through to provide these materials and don't wish to undermine their efforts by taking images without permission.

    We've added some box art images to a few pages, including The Iron Bible page, Gun Gyarado, Konig Wolf Heavy Arms, and HMM Blade Liger Blu-Ray Edition.

    Its been a while since we've done model reviews! This is largely because of the sun not hitting the front deck during the last few months. Now that there's sunsine again we're back! This time with the Zoids BLOX Mosasledge. A new section has been added to the Tomy Zoids category to house BLOX.

    A page has also been added in Action Figures of the Gordos Art Statue from Volume 2. We've also added an information page (linked in the header) for the Zoids Art Statues. This will take you to a page with a list of all original art statues and the reviews so far.

    We've added reviews for the Zoids Mini Collection Geno Saurer and Rev Raptor. We've also added an information page (linked in the header.) This and the art statue page both have the japanese name for the series so that users can copy-paste it into Yahoo Japan, Rakuten, etc., to narrow their search for specific items.

    A few people expressed interest in having a customs section so we've gone ahead and added this page to the left menu bar. Right now there is no custom material but we're working on getting up some progress for our own projects. The page lists information on submitting customs to the site, so if you've got something that you'd like to send in, send away!

    The Zoids Info twitter has posted our first real clear look at the stand for the Masterpiece Shield Liger. It's an interesting look!

    We've updated the Zoids Media Box for the first time in a long while! Listed at the bottom is a section for included media materials such as the promotional DVDs and VHS which came with model kits. For now that includes the Three Tigers Legend DVD which came as an extra for the Brastle Tiger model kit. It not only has the main video but a few clips from the last disc and a very long Zoid stats file.

    Also in the Media Box is a new section for game openings. We only have a couple videos there, which were previously viewable on our youtube channel. We'll try to organize getting some more of these up. It's worth noting at this time that the Vs. III opening contains scenes relevant to the Three Tigers Legend disc, that were not included on the discs themselves.

    An Ancient Zoidian themed font has been added to the Fan Art page. This was made by us, and is a first attempt so things are still pretty wonky. You'll want to play with the spacing and line depth to get an ideal look.

    TakaraTomy has posted an interview with their designers who've been working on the Masterpiece Shield Liger. This is a very in depth video which has a lot of very interesting views. It contains CGI renditions of the figure and a wide variety of prototype stages shown in action. Included is also an NJR Shield Liger for a comparison of shape, design, and function. This reveals that the Masterpiece model will indeed be larger than the original version.

    Other design aspects are also discussed, such as the semi-realism animal sketches. These were used to rough out the expression of the face and desired shape of the mane. They also go on to say how they compared the original kits to the more realistic motions of these animals to improve the design.

    While this video is in Japanese you can get google translated subtitles by clicking the CC button. Subtitles will appear in Japanese. Click the gear icon at the bottom right and select 'Translate' with the language of your country.

    Kotobukiya has announced a release of the Beam Gatling Unit, previously seen on Zoids such as the Dark Horn. This will be a separate customize part scheduled for release in late August. It is uncertain at this time if the set will come with custom paint or recolor casting. It is said that it requires customization on the buyer's part to fit onto some Zoids (which, according to some stores, includes the Dark Horn it's meant for anyway?) This may be a translation error on Google's part but we'll know more closer to the release date.

    In the mean time they've also announced a rerelease of the Dark Horn. So far as I'm aware this kit has never had a rerelease so it is recommended to snap it up while you can! We have updated our preorder column with all recent Zoid items.

    Its been a while since we updated the Zoids: Chaotic Century manga, so here it is! This volume kind of goes off on its own tangent but we'll be trying to continue adding micro updates (10-15 pages at a time.) This will be a bit slower than the previous 1 chapter per update but will hopefully mean more frequent updates than before.

    Also in manga, Zoids Zi! The Konig Wolf hasn't gotten out of trouble yet but the fights not over! Half of Chapter 7 has been added.

    After a long delay (sorry about that!) we have updated the Photo Contest page! Winning entries are posted up top with remaining entries below. Congratulations to our winning circle and thank you to everyone that entered! There were really some stunning entries and I'm glad we were able to hold this contest.

    Prizes will be chosen from the pool with winners having first pick in the order of 1st to 4th. Please E-mail us through our contact page with the prize that you'd like and the shipping address (if applicable.) We will inform you if that prize has already been spoken for. It may take up to 1-2 weeks to ship out rewards but tracking information will be provided once they have been sent.

    The Masterpiece Shield Liger page has been updated with color photos! We now get to see that this Zoid will also have an armorless form, and many transparent parts to accomodate the lights. Seen above is a new commercial featuring the walk cycle and breathing motions. The movement of the paws looks amazing compared to older generation motorized kits.

    The kit is scheduled for an October Release at a price of 12,000 Yen. This is roughly $103.
