In a shocking turn of events Kotobukiya has announced that they'll be remaking the Shield Liger as an entirely new design! This is the first new mold we've seen in a while, and it's definitely not what anyone was expecting. After all, they'd discussed wanting to focus on new designs instead of remakes back when the Shield Liger DCS-J was announced. It's a pleasant surprise, and opens up a lot of possibilities for their Zoid designs. This redesign in particular fixes many of the aesthetic complaints people had about the old one. The new Liger is far more robust with the blocky design we've come to expect from the first Liger. AmiAmi, Hobby Japan and Yodobashi Hobby posted some additional photos.

 The Liger Zero Falcon featured in the Zoids Battle Films also got a prototype reveal! We've been wondering about this one, since it was announced before several other RMZs were announced with colored prototypes already shown. Another toothy cat with a big grin! There are more photos from Yodobashi Hobby.

 Colorless prototypes for the RMZ Storm Sworder were also on display. They depicted the classic folded wing air drop / dive. One thing I particularly appreciated was the curvature of the body joints, creating fluid motion for the diving pose. Pre-orders are expected to open in July. You can view more photos from Yodobashi Hobby.

 A color prototype of the HMM Lightning Saix / Irvine Spec. was on display at the event. The parts were partially disassembled, giving you a look at both the Irvine armor and the Saix underneath. Pre-orders expected to open in June. It was featured in a video by TT, which Figsoku has some still screenies of.

 The prototypes for the AZ Jager and Panzer were shown off at the event. You can see that Schneider will include the extending E-Shield generators, and Panzer includes all the missiles you could want. They're expected to release sometime in 2027.

 The second Metamor Verse figures were also on display, featuring Fine in the standard clothes with the fully-assembled Sieg beside her. They also had the armored version on display. Hobby Japan has some additional photos.
