Kotobukiya has posted pictures of the Fire Fox CP on their website. They've also posted an unboxing of the Zoids Blu-Ray set [Limited] and we'll be seeing this released on August 2nd! I'll be sure to post a similar unboxing once it gets here and do my best to provide you all with information on what all of the extras are.

br>    The third model kit for Zoids Original has been announced! This is the Command Wolf RGC. The profile page unfortunately contains just this image, but you can find it here. There is no information like there was with the Mirage Fox and the Geno Ritter, but I suspect we'll be seeing this next month sometime. Maybe the month after that.

    In other Zoids Original news pre-orders for both the Mirage Fox and the Geno Ritter are re-opening. They have already opened on July 25th and will continue until August 6th. If you missed your first window I strongly recommend that you try to obtain one through the TT mall now.

    If you navigate to the Zoids Art Books Section, a little further down the Zoids Original section has been updated. This now includes information of the Geno Ritter, including weapons list and profile notes. While I could be wrong it seems that the vermillion Genosaurer type would refer to the Geno Breaker seen in Guardian Force, giving us a vague hint at the time line of this story. This is based on the observation that the name of the base Zoid often refers to multiple variations and is not used as strictly the original weapons set-up.

    We have finally updated the Zoids Concept Art Book section with the Concept Art Book III. This includes scans and the story portion of the book. In addition we have updated the Zoids Concept Art Book I. It now contains translated profiles for the many Zoid types, including primitive, wild, and prototype Zoids.

    The Zoids MSS site has also released new photos of the MSS Great Sabre. You can view them here. The kit looks really nice and the MSS site photos are much cleaner than other preview photos I've seen!

    Now on to Zoids news! We may have missed stuff here, this update was a little rushed. Nonetheless, Kotobukiya has revealed the new Chrome parts for Fire Fox and Shadow Fox. We saw these announced earlier but there were not clear photos of them actually attached to the foxes. There are now! Even if they are small and Shadow Fox oriented. You can view them here.

    Just before that they announced the next D-Style: Iron Kong! This is quite a surprise that we certainly weren't expecting, but it's a nice surprise. The kit looks good but there is definitely some funkiness with seeing the attachments through the mouth (although that may be unavoidable). It can be viewed here.

    A re-release for the original HMM Saber Tiger, Liger Zero Schneider, and D-Style Blade Liger has been announced for late September. Pre-order links have been added to the up-coming Zoid releases.

    Chapter 2 of Zoids SS has been updated and the full-story page has been as while. This chapter was another 24-page chapter. It is hard to say at this point how things will progress. The framing around the final page seems to imply that it will switch stories to the Geno-Ritter and, presumably by a series of short-stories instead of an ongoing story arch. It could very well just be setting up the main story though and will continue on as it has already. It's hard to say at this point in time but hey, we'll have a better idea at the beginning of next month sometime!

    The August 2013 issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine has been added to the DHM article. This features a retooled Mirage Fox and some previews up upcoming model kits.

    We've added a new fan art from AngelNinja, our first fan-submitted fan art to the site! Everyone be sure to go check it out, and lots of love for the submission!

    Also in the Fan-Art section we've added a wallpapers area. Currently we don't accept fan-submissions here but it includes high-resolution images from our scan archives, some touched up to be less flecky than the ones we have added on-site. If you use a screen resolution other than the two listed there feel free to send us an E-mail and we'll make sure a version of every wallpaper is added for your resolution! Also feel free to recommend wallpapers from images on our site.

    More frequent updates are coming, I swear! August 2nd is Blu-Ray release day so can we all just take a moment to go eeeeeeee. Ok now that that's done.

    Zoid Model Kit reviews have been added for the Command Wolf LC & AC Barad Version and for the Psycho Geno Saurer. Pardon the wide screen images for these reviews! We may be using this format in the future, while testing out new cameras that can get slightly better indoor shots. The reviews include very high resolution box scans and of course still have all the instruction stuff, which from now on will include a higher resolution image of the diaroma image.

    We've also added a translated parts list for most of our Kotobukiya Zoids. The list below will tell you which ones have these lists. They include names of the weapons and equipment. Some things were not mentioned in the parts list, such as the new tail blade thing on the Berserk Fury. Some Zoids are also not given appropriate stats (Psycho Geno). Nobody mention that the Irvine Ver. Saix weighs as much as the basic Saix with twice as much armor.
    - Berserk Fury
    - Command Wolf AC & LC Barad Version
    - Dibison
    - Liger Zero Panzer
    - Lightning Saix Irvine Special
    - Psycho Geno Saurer
    - Saber Tiger Gold
