The Zoids Deform Figure Strap page over in Assorted has been updated with a few more of the figures! The page now includes Gordos, Iron Kong, Saber Tiger, and Shield Liger. I plan to add scans for their pamphlets later, but for now they're excluded.

 Some particularly cute little Zoids Shoulder Zun Figs have started appearing on various sites for pre-order. There hasn't been much in the way of official announcements, but these Shoulder Zun Figs are a popular gacha series featuring characters of various franchises in sleepy positions, leaning on one shoulder. The set will include Gojulas, Shield Liger, Death Saurer, and Iron Kong, with a full set expected to cost 1,600 yen and planned for a January 2026 release.

 We've got some better images of the Zoids Package Collection. These are small figures featuring OJR Zoids boxes, but miniaturized! They also come with an old school Zoids logo tag. Hobby Watch has more photos of this collection. The Death Saurer is 1/9 scale and the others are 1/7 scale, expected to be 300 yen each.

 A new page has been added to the Assorted category for calendars! We didn't just start with any, but are opening this section with a particularly rare calendar featuring poster-sized Zoids New Century Zero anime art. These images are a serious kick in the nostalgia for anyone browsing the web for Zoids in the early 2000s, and I highly recommend checking it out!

 We're getting yet another themed Zoids crate, this time based on the Zenebas Empire! For those who've missed the others, these are quite literally plastic crates. They have no contents, but are instead storage containers intended for storing your Zoids or other goods, and when not needed can be folded flat for easier storage. The crate is scheduled to release in October for 7,150 yen.

 A second collaboration with Seiko has been announced, this time producing a quality watch featuring the Geno Saurer! I feel like the design comes across cleaner and more readable. Each watch is engraved with the imperial emblem of Guylos and a serial number (1 of 300). The watch is scheduled to release January 1st for 66,000 yen.

 Its been such a fun ride following this traveling Popup Tour! The Hokkaido venue featured an Emperor's Holiday episode themed set, along with the Dibison. There's also now a Fukui Loft exhibit running, which is great timing with the Fukui Dinosaur Museum collaboration. Fukui features the Death Stinger and a large dinner scene of Prozen, Hiltz, Raven, Rease, and the Organoids and Zoids. Some goods from previous venues will also be resold at this event. A fun meal and archeology theme art was also revealed, further celebrating the Dinosaur Museum timing! Last but not least, the official X account posted pictures of the venue. The tour is planned to finally come to a close in Okinawa in late August.

 Takara Tomy Arts is working on a new set of gacha toys, featuring boxes attached to keychains with the box art of various Zoids products throughout the years! These are scheduled for October 2025, though we don't currently have much information on them.

 Ever wanted to hoard your bespoke cardboard boxes but found yourself frustrated at how fragile they can be? Well, look no further! Volks has come out with a couple of Zoids Folding Containers, durable plastic containers that can collapse down into a flat form for easy storage. Each container has branding specific to the Empire and Republic, and went on sale November 23rd for 7,150 yen each.

 The 25th Anniversary is in full swing, with a popup tour currently ongoing! There's also a dedicated page for a special talk show coming on September 14th. The event will include live dubbing by the main cast, behind-the-scenes stories, and more. Attendees will receive an original tote bag and two Wixoss x Zoids collaboration cards. They also held a poll to see which episode people wanted to see shown at the talk show.

 Aside from the talk show there's also the popup tour. There's a huge list of goods being sold at the event shop and other displays at the venue including production art, character billboards, and more. In addition, the show started streaming (on Japanese streaming services) on the 15th of August. You can get a look at a lot of the event goods and such from this helpful Famitsu article. Pictures of the venue show off some amazing anime scene dioramas, including the Episode 33 scene of the Blade Liger Vs. Geno Saurer, the episode 34 defeat of the Death Saurer, the episode 41 battle between Schwarz's Iron Kong and Thomas' Dibison, and the triumphant episode 48 scene where the Lightning Saix finally throws off its armor!

 TakaraTomy is collabing with Seiko to release some high-end Zoids Watches! Be warned, though, these items will be few in number at 300 units each. The watch comes with a special box. It's scheduled to release in April for 59,400 yen.

 Collaboration sales have been opening with online retailers to coincide with the celebrations. Caseplay is selling a variety of smart phone cases for 4,480 yen each, featuring both previous art and 40th Anniversary art. Sugomono Japan is selling two varieties of souvenire jackets, ranging from Small to XL (baring in mind Japanese clothing standards are different than American clothing standards). These jackets are selling for 35,000 yen and are made of 100% polyester.

 A dedicated page has been added to cover the 40th anniversary Traveling Exhibit. This was made primarily to list the goods and keep track of what ones appeared at what intervals, as well as provide names so that western fans can see what the products actually are. It currently has not been updated to include the Fukuoka Venue, but that'll be added soon. It also includes links to the direct site and twitter account, which you can follow for more up-to-date information.

 The traveling Traveling Exhibit has been going for a while now, and man, the amount of products coming out of this is insane. Acrylic Standees from every anime and a wide variety of other products. Some have been surprising, such as standees featuring battle story characters (Arthur, Ray, Anna, and Wolff, featuring their existing art), or standees of Bio Tyranno and Volcano showing them in a cel-shaded style instead of their typical fully 3D look. There are so many products to cover that I don't know if it's feasible for a news post, so I'll work on a dedicated page for this event soon.

 There are several posts covering the event and its displays. Part of the event was a series of dioramas featuring anime scenes reimagined through model kits, including a rather impressive Hover Cargo. There were plenty of products, and some character cutouts. Even a bit of concept art.

 Some of the products specifically shown off on Twitter, including character acrylic standees for Arthur, Ray, Anna, Wolf, Bit, Zero, Zoiko (Who was the twitter mascot during the MPZ days!), an Irvine Eye Mask, T-Shirts including a Geno Saurer and a Blade Liger shirt, a 40th Anniversary Stainless Steel Mug, a Rainbow Jerk Fan themed after its tail feathers, a Fiona/Fine Mug, and a Postcard Set. A lot of products are to be expected, such as the standees and can badges, but some of them are also just really cute ideas, such as Irvine's Eye Mask and the umbrella that looks like you're looking out of an E-Shield Generator at the Saber Tiger.

 A page has been added under Assorted for the unusual Zoids Genesis Rubber Keychains. These are pretty cool products, and worth checking out.

 I've also added pages for some assorted Genesis products (towels, clocks, toothbrushes, etc.) Over the next year I'll be trying to slowly expand product pages using magazine/book scans in lieu of photos for products not currently owned. There aren't many resources for assorted Zoids goods, and I'd love to collect that information in one place, where people can view what products have existed and just how vast the Zoids franchise truly is!

 Scans have been added for CoroCoro's December 1999 and August 2000 issues. This includes a portion of the prototype Rev Raptor and Geno Saurer, though, unfortunately, my second-hand scans are missing one of the pages for the Rev Raptor.

 Televi-kun has been divided into its own page, as we continue to collect a decent number of these magazines. For now I've added the March and July 2001 issues and the January and June 2002 issues. These include some awesome diorama images and unique anime artwork.

 GraffArt has posted a slew of Zoids Wild Zero related goods! With plenty of character and Zoid art alike, there are tons of items to browse.

 I've added a page to the Assorted category for Zoids Sticker Gum! These little square stickers were sold in candy packets in Japan, and you might've seen them floating around on auction sites. We're only missing a couple, and the page includes translations and images.

 A beautiful large-scale poster featuring customs from the Zoids Fuzors line has been added to the Assorted category!
