New Purchase Campaign!  [Official]


 Starting on March 28th, fans who buy 3,000 yen or more worth of Zoids Wild products at participating stores will receive one of three random customize weapons.

 During April (and most of March) (3/28 ~ 4/25), users will receive 1 random weapon from the Command Attack Unit Silver Titanium Ver. They can receive the Bone Blade, Grinder Cutter, or Panzer Faust. During March (starting 4/25), they can receive 1 random weapon from the same weapons unit, instead having a chance to win the Arc Knife, Auto Saw, or Square Shield. If users purchase 3,000 yen or more worth of items during both of the campaign periods, they'll receive one additional (random) item: The Mega Lance, Wing Cutter, or Attachment Frame.

 So where can you get these? There are no stores (to my knowledge) that offer guarantees. However, amiami appears to be the most likely to send out purchase campaign benefits. While HLJ occasionally gives out campaign benefits, it is usually a part of their own campaigns, and not a part of the original purchase campaign. Otherwise, keep an eye out on Yahoo Japan, etc.!

Zoids Wild Concept Art & Images!  [Official]


 We have a few more images from Zoids Wild and Wild Zero. First, a couple of character concepts: Fiona's Everyday Wear, and normal!Aldrich Vs. when he is piloting the Genospino. We also have a Zoids height chart, which shows some impressive scales. The Kongs are huge, and Jammingas (beside Beast Liger) are tiny. Although not necessarily a concept, the anime twitter also posted a high-res Fang Tiger image.



ZW Battle Card Hunter Updates!  [Official]


 Zoids Wild Battle Card Hunter has announced a new limited-time boss battle, the Stylaser Red Fort, which is only obtainable for Sebuka card users starting from March 12th. They also announced the Beast Liger Optical Camouflage Spec., as a limited boss from March 19th. The April issue of CoroCoro comes with a limited Liger The Arthur card, with special art drawn by Moritya, the manga artist. Last but not least, the latest CoroCoro Aniki comes with a special Blade Liger BCH card, using art by Ueyama!


- Zoids Coloring Pages

 Strangey, the BCH site also posted a couple of coloring pages as a PDF. A Zoids coloring book would be nice to have! But these are neat in the mean time.

- A New Expansion Looms!

 They've also recently announced the next expansion, based on Zoids Wild Zero! This expansion also includes cards of Liger The Arthur, which we see a little bit more of in the new commercial! The commercial illustrates a new collectable card style, SP cards that are strung together in a line, creating a sprawling scene. I've always been a fan of connecting card art, and this is beautifully done. They've made mentions of a story for these cards, so it'll be interesting to see how that develops. It's possible they're just referring to the scene that the cards themselves illustrate.


- 3rd Great Treasure Excavation Event!

 Although we currently lack official images, the third Great Treasure Excavation Event has been announced! This time, the limited (150 released) Zoid will be the Rising Liger Ruby, and the more common (1000 released) runner up prize will be the Gravity Cannon Unit Clear Red Ver.

- New Expansion Trailer!



Zoids Wild Zero Concepts!  [Official]


 We have two new concept arts for Zoids Wild Zero. The first is Fiona's attendant, Gene Eleceene Lyney, who is played by Makiko Ohmoto, and the second is the Kuwaga's cockpit interior, which includes some B-Suit sketches. As a fun side note, Gene's name is spelled the same as Fiona's true name from Zoids Chaotic Century (which in Japanese, is Eleceene Lyney). In the dub, Fiona (Fine's) true name was pronounced as Elisia Linette. As gene works for Empress Fiona, it's a clear nod towards older fans.



Official Zoids Wild Customs!  [Official]


 Zoids official has posted a new Zoids Wild custom, the Sniptera Bomber Spec.! This one sadly doesn't include any concept art, but it does have another post dedicated to the WIP stage, which shows off the different parts.



Zoids Wild Concept Art!!  [Site]


 We have a few new pieces of artwork for Zoids Wild! The first two are from the Wild Zero anime twitter, featuring the Land Laboratory. There's an interior and an exterior view. Then from Moritya we have pictures of Kai and Gallagher the 13th, from the Zoids Wild 2 manga! These images were originally published in the March issue of CoroCoro Comic, but it's great to see them in such crisp detail.



CoroCoro Limited: Liger The Arthur!  [Official]


 This month's issue of CoroCoro announced an interesting Zoid: A Rising Liger variation called Liger The Arthur. They also posted an article showing off the full image for it on their website!

 The Arthur is a limited kit obtained through a "paid service", scheduled around the May issue of CoroCoro. The closest comparison for this seems to be the Black Rhimos and Bearfighter from the NJR, where people could mail in their forms from CoroCoro to purchase the kits. Although, it's worth noting that back in the day, these kits weren't listed as "Limited", and were available to all who submitted an application. We don't know yet how limited the Arthur will be, or if Limited simply means "limited to everyone who submits an application, during the relevant time" which is certainly a possibility.

 When it was first announced, we speculated that this might refer to the Pal-Shop, also known as CoroCoro Premier (Shogakukan's mail-order site). However, after comparing the double page spread to the one where the Death Rex Purple Dragon Form was announced for rerelease (in the same shop), this seems unlikely. The Rex made multiple direct references to CoroCoro Premier, including photos of the shop. If this were going to be the outlet used, it seems likely that it would specify this clearly, as they did before. At the moment, it may end up being an actual physical mail-order item.

 On a positive note, Arthur has a lot of additional parts! This includes a basic Rising Liger with silver armor, blue secondary armor, and blue caps. The Liger also includes a new armored visor, a huge lance-like weapon on the back, new tail armor, new paw armor, etc. We'll post more as we get more information!


- CoroCoro Translation

 A special Liger with the [???] of a proud knight!!
 A super-limited new Liger that merges a Zoid with the strength and figure of a "knight" that fought in the Middle Ages!! Its armour and weapons give rise to a new storm!! Wait for entries to open in the May issue!!

 Zoids development team comments: If you take Zoids, which are mecha + lifeforms, and add the coolness of armoured knights... A Liger even greater than expected has been born!!

 An Evo Blast gimmick that pierces everything...!?
 Its body uses the strongest materials in history...!?

 The next issue will contain a special manga featuring Liger The Arthur!!

 A new Coro Coro limited Zoid will be offered as a limited-quantity paid service for applicants in the May issue!! Liger The Arthur sets out for the front!!

 We've learned that a new Liger with new parts and new colours will be sold as a Coro Coro limited! It's a super masterpiece that fans and even beginners will definitely want to obtain!

* Translations were done by Falcarius! Thank you! Because some characters were not visible in the source image, there are a couple of words missing. These will be updated as soon as a personal copy of CoroCoro has been received.

ZW40 Gravity Cannon Unit!  [Official]


 Today, TakaraTomy revealed the source of the brown Bone Blade (mistakenly referred to earlier as the Horn Blade) we saw. It comes from the brand new Gravity Cannon Unit and the Dash Breaker Unit. These weapon sets include a series of brand new weapons in a bronze color, and a complete rerelease of the earlier weapon sets in black instead of silver.

 The Gravity Cannon Unit is scheduled to release on March 28th for 1,100 yen and comes with the equipment listed below. It contains "new weapons" (previously released at WHF in silver, but not in a wide public release) and "rerelease" weapons, which are from the Buster Radar Unit. The Buster Radar Unit originally came in silver, so these weapons sport a new black coloring.

  Attachment Frame x2
  Long Assault Rifle x2
  Panzer Faust x2
  Power Rifle x2
  Square Shield x2
  Wing Cutter x2

ZW39 Sonic Bird!  [Official]


 When the Dash Breaker Unit went up on the TakaraTomy Mall, they slipped in two cheeky teaser images. These images featured a brand new type of Archeopteryx Zoid, featured wearing the weapons unit. This Zoid is the ZW39 Sonic Bird, scheduled for release in late April.

 TakaraTomy Toys over on Twitter also posted some teaser images of the default Zoid, giving us a great look at it. Although it uses the Gilraptor body there's an extraordinary number of new parts, including fully foldable wings, and arm pegs that've been repurposed as gun mounts.

ZW38 Omega Rex!  [Official]


 The Omega Rex has shown up on the TakaraTomy Mall, scheduled for a March 28th release for 7,700 yen (tax included)! On a fun note it seems that the Rex's particle cannon, which we've known about for a while, uses a stunning green color. It'll be interesting to see how it is used in the show, whenever it shows up. CoroCoro also has a page showing off a new diorama style image, citing the particle cannon as a weapon that can blow up an entire city in just one blast.



- Omega Rex White Fortress Ver.

CoroCoro has posted a new article showing off the Omega Rex White Fortress Ver. It shows the particle gun charging up and being used. These images are for the silver peel, which is essentially a scratch off that buyers of CoroCoro can mail in for a chance to win. Like most other CoroCoro limiteds, it'll be limited to 100 kits total.



Zoids Wild Zero Concept Art!  [Official]


 We have two new pieces of concept art from Zoids Wild Zero. Jake Ramon, who dreams about flying through the sky and sets out to make a number of flying crafts, and Hanna Melville, a Lieutenant from the Imperial Army who acts as an assistant for Dr. Frank Land.



Zoids BCH Update!  [Official]


 Starting on February 27th, players of Battle Card Hunter will be able to win the Drei Panther card as a campaign item. This campaign is only being held at Molly Fantasy and PALO stores.



Horn Blade Weapon Teaser!  [Official]


 After teasing the Omega Rex last night, Zoids Official has teased a mysterious weapon variation: A brown Horn Blade. Although Horn Blades were obtained at earlier events like the remodeling both at World Hobby Fair in Tokyo, every iteration we've seen of this so far (including leaks) were in a gray color. So what will this weapon turn out to be from? Will its wider public release be updated to brown? If so, we'll likely see color variations of other weapons as well!

ZW38 Omega Rex!  [Official]


 TakaraTomy and CoroCoro have steadily been teasing Omega Rex for months, and this beast has already appeared in the Zoids Wild 2 manga. Back in mid-January, CoroCoro posted an article discussing an upcoming CoroCoro 100 based on this Zoid, but it also contained an awesome, rainy image of it. Just yesterday, the Zoids Official twitter account posted our first big, clean product images!

- Omega Rex Teasing New Zoid!?

 A cheeky posted from the Zoids Official Twitter exhibited photos of the work place where they're developing the commercial for the upcoming Omega Rex. It contains some customs, but most interestingly -- a familiar little mantis in the foreground. We've heared whispers of these little Kill Scythes for a while, but this is a clever way to introduce them!

Omega Rex White Fortress Ver.!  [Official]


 Although we first heard about the Omega Rex White Fortress Ver. in earlier CoroCoro issues, there were no images of it. Now, we've gotten our first glimpse! This image is from the upper left corner of the CoroCoro Comic March issue's cover. Tonight it was also shown off in CoroCoro's video presentation for the March issue of CoroCoro Comic. Fortress resembles a fossilized rex, a cool color choice! It is our next CoroCoro 100 Limited.

ZW37 Kuwaganos!  [Official]


 With Kuwaganos planned to appear in the next episode, now's the time to cover their info! The Kuwaganos is a subspecies of Kuwaga, which differentiates itself by the ability to crystalize sap. This crystalization forms an unknown type of metal, which is used for the Amber Jaws and Amber Wings. Components made out of this Amber material have a self-healing ability, and will repair within minutes if damaged.

Wild Blast: Storm Scissors
Length: 4.9 m
Height: 2.0 m
Weight: 9.6
Maximum Speed: 212 km/h
IQ: 42

Equipment List: Amber Jaw, Amber Wing, Big Jaws, Radar Tube, Wings

 TakaraTomy has posted a couple of images showing off this Zoid next to the original Kuwaga. From earlier images it looked like the Amber equipment would have a rough texture, but in these unpainted photos it is super sleek, looking like genuine amber. It's a cool distinction! The Zoid is also up on the TakaraTomy Mall and is scheduled for a February 22nd release, for 1,500 Yen. Dengeki Hobby also happened to post an article on it, with some additional photos. We've already set up this Zoids page over in the Wild model kit section if you want to read more!

ZW01 Wild Liger Ash Model!  [Official]


 We heard earlier about the PSO2 (Phantasy Star Online) collaboration with TakaraTomy, which would allow players of PSO2 to obtain Wild Liger helmet items in-game. This collab would also feature a special sticker sheet for the Wild Liger based on one of the game's characters, Ash. This variation is now available on the TakaraTomy Mall, scheduled for a March 5th release at 3,300 yen. It includes a special sticker set and the ZW01 Wild Liger model kit.

HMM Wild Liger Updates!  [Official]


 Kotobukiya displayed their HMM Wild Liger at Wonder Festival last weekend, this time with the Wild Blast on display! Still no colored example, but it's looking cool so far. Kotobukiya posted an image of the display on Twitter. You can see the Wild Blast flame effect part (which will be green, hopefully transparent) and the Mane Claws extended. The Arashi figure also has a Wild Blast look! Dengeki Hobby Magazine posted three more pictures here, here, and here. We still don't have an exact price or release date, but it was originally estimated for June or July. That time may be subject to change.

Zoids Wild Custom Examples!  [Official]


 We have a variety of custom examples based on official Zoids! We have Rising Liger Flight Prototype, Cannon Bull Anti-Air Long-Range Artillery Spec., Stylaser Cold District Spec., and Bazootle Heavy Artillery Medium-Range Bombardment Spec. (which also has a WIP post). An article from Dengeki Hobby covers WIP shots of some of the older custom examples.
