- HMM Salamander News!



 An unpainted/undetailed color test shot of the HMM Salamander was shown off at the Shizuoka Hobby Show, our first look at this big bird in color! Some extra unpainted prototype photos were posted on their web site showing off the excellent range of motion the kit has, especially with the legs and claws. The final picture shown on this page shows that it can equip the CP-10 Gojulas Cannons, making many ponder about a potential rerelease of the CP or even a potential Salamander Bombvern variant.

- HMM Cannon Tortoise MPV Announced!



 Kotobukiya has announced their next Marking Plus Version, the Cannon Tortoise! Similar to the Dibison, this kit will feature new molded colors closer to the bluer-greens of the newer models. It'll include additional decals and clear colorless plastic in addition to its typical orange, as well as the OJR small Zoid caps first released with the Redler. It's scheduled to release in September for 5,280 yen (tax included) and a LABO article has already been posted to show it off (gotta love the humor shown in this poor little guy's face!)

 The HMM Command Wolf AC & LC Marking Plus Version has just released, compiling all of the Command Wolf weapons into a single box complete with additional clear colorless parts. A post by one of Kotobukiya's stores also revealed its box art, depicting a mid-battle wolf pack scene by Mercy Rabbit!

- HMM Salamander Prototype!



 The prototype of the upcoming HMM Salamander was finally revealed at the All Japan Model Hobby Show! A stream showing off all of the articulation was also held a couple weeks ago. During the stream they teased the recently announced HMM Molga (posted somewhere below). I'd also recommend people not be too terribly concerned about how loose the parts look in the video. This has been the case for all of the 3d printed prototypes shown off on stream, but the final versions have been more solid.

- HMM Molga Full Option Set!



 Discussed way back during the Guysack stream, Kotobukiya has announced an HMM Molga Full Option Set! This is essentially like the Command Wolf Repackage, featuring one Molga with the weapons from all releases. So for example, AA and Carrier gear. The kit has a new molding color, new decals, and clear colorless plastic. It also includes the older cap design from the HMM Redler. It's scheduled to release in May 2025 for 7,150 yen (tax included.)

- HMM Command Wolf AC & LC Marking Plus Ver.!



 A new Command Wolf has been announced! This kit is effectively the Repackage (hmm, maybe it should have also been called Full Option Set??), including the AC & LC gear. The cockpit also comes with clear colorless plastic, a first for a Command Wolf kit, as the only other release of this colorless canopy was through the Customize Parts, which have long since been out of production. Like other MPVs it also comes with new decals, and includes old-style caps from the HMM Redler. The kit is scheduled to release in April for 7,700 yen (tax included).

- HMM Guysack Old Republic Ver.!



 The HMM Guysack Old Republic Ver. is up for pre-order now, as a Kotobukiya Shop Exclusive! Guysack looks surprisingly tough in these new colors, like a tiny little tank. The kit is scheduled for release in April 2025 for 6,160 yen and includes clear colorless parts.

- HMM Dark Horn Marking Plus Ver.!



 The HMM Dark Horn is finally up for an MPV release! This kit has abstained from updating its price point for a number of years, which is quite respectable for how many parts it is. Now it's finally time, however. With this new release the decals, which have been expanded quite a bit are being converted to waterslides and the kit will include clear colorless parts.

- HMM Reissues!



 A number of re-releases have been announced, including the Redler Zenebas Ver. (April 2025, 6600 Yen), Redler Guylos Ver. (May 2025, 6600 Yen), Sturm Tyrann Berserk Unit Set (May 2025, 18150 Yen), Godos MPV (June 2025, 5940 Yen), and Storm Sworder (February 2025, 10120 yen.) This is the first time the Berserk Unit set has ever been rereleased, which is exciting for those who missed it the first time around!

- HMM Garantula!



 The HMM Garantula now has its own page on Kotobukiya's website! This little guy is scheduled to release in December for 4,500 yen and is a Koto Direct exclusive. It should be a nice, simple kit, sharing some sprues with the HMM Guysack. It's also nice seeing OJR Zoids get some much-needed love.

- Hobby Japan Articles!



 Hobby Japan has posted digital versions of its article from the September 2024 issue, featuring a customized HMM Guysack based on Blu's from the Anime. They've also posted an article on the Tokyo Toy Show 2024, with photos of the various booths.

- HMM Garantula Announcement!



 During Kotobukiya's build stream for the HMM Guysack they hit us with a surprise announcement that nobody was expected, the HMM Garantula! Everything that follows is drawn from my understanding of the auto-generated subtitles, so please take with a grain of salt.

 This new kit will be hitting pre-orders on July 23rd, the same day that the HMM Guysack releases, as a Kotobukiya Shop exclusive. It's expected to be released in December, and sounds like it'll come with a clear smoke canopy as well as clear red for the various sensors. They showed off a few images including this familiar impression, and a classic spider splay to show off the articulation of the legs. Check out the stream for more stills as well as them showing off the test shot.

 They briefly discussed a variety of other topics. Evidently, the HMM K Wuf's initial release reported the highest sales in HMM history. As an unashamedly biased K Wuf fan, this was exciting to hear. Updates on HMM Salamander also list it as working through the prototype stage. They expect to display it sometime this year at an event.

 Breaking away from stream details, I'm happy to see Kotobukiya maximizing their mileage towards making small Zoids by lining up kits that could share common parts. It's an interesting solution to the challenges small Zoids face. (It's also a funny detail, because it matches the HMM lore, which leans into standardizing parts shared between Zoids to make them easier and faster to repair.) Garantula was a big surprise, and a nice shoutout to our OJR fans out there.


- HMM Guysack News!



 The HMM Guysack is releasing this month, with the OJR version expected to open pre-orders soon as well! Kotobukiya posted a LABO article in celebration, introducing the Guysack and its various details. There'll be a live broadcast (which we'll stick below) just before its release, where they hope to build it in just under an hour. In the article we also get to see the box art, which looks absolutely amazing. There's even an early sketch concept for it, that would've been based on the Tomy box art from back in the day. (There's a lot of Zoids in this box art, and they're all doing something interesting. It's particularly dynamic!)

- HMM König Wolf Rereleases!



 Fans waited for the König Wolf for quite a few years, and it looks like initial sales must've been great because Kotobukiya has announced their plan to rerelease all three Wolf kits! The basic, Heavy Arms, and CP Unit. The Wolf and CP Unit are expected to release in November and Heavy Arms in January 2025.

 We heard earlier that these guys would be getting reissues, but now we have specifics. HMM Berserk Führer is scheduled for July for 10,450 yen and HMM Lightning Saix is scheduled for June for 6,380 yen. The image for the Old Republic Guysack was also teased again at the Shizuoka Hobby Show, though as far as I know, there's no new details.
