A lineup showing off several of the upcoming RMZ kits had a surprise announcement, the RMZ Bio Volcano! This design looks awesome from what we can see so far, and is expected to release sometime in 2027.

 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.

 We've also got a look at the colored prototype for the RMZ-022 Murasame Liger! It has quite an impressive range of motion and is cast in a darker teal to better match the anime. This is a nice choice, as if they'd gone with a brighter color it wouldn't have stood out much compared to the ZA 1/100 scale Murasame Liger by Kotobukiya. The figure will even feature an optional standard Zoid style cockpit (with an included standard pilot seated upright) or a Zoids Genesis accurate cockpit with Ruuji leaning forward. This kit is already up for pre-order and scheduled to release in December for 7,480 Yen. It was also displayed at the show.

 Tanimeso also posted some of their old Murasame Liger Zi-Girl illustrations to celebrate the new Murasame.

 One of the most classic Shield Ligers, the Shield Liger MK-II was recently announced! MK-II was always my favorite Shield Liger color, so excited for this one. The cables are made of plastic, able to flex freely. It's scheduled to release in November for 7,370 Yen.

 Speaking of Shieldies, Sigemikan_Z posted the weathered RMZ Shieldy that was used in the box art!

 An RMZ Desert Liger was announced as a new variant to be released at the Shizuoka Hobby Show, where it's currently on sale at the venue. Additional copies are intended to be sold at overseas events, which likely means other areas of Asia such as Hong Kong, similar to the Blade Liger Mirage.

 Trinity Liger got a surprising color variant announced, the Captured Color! This features a dark, almost black purple-toned armor with translucent purple and gold parts and white accents. The color scheme is based on the old Zoids 2 PS2 game, where captured Zoids would feature unique color schemes. This kit is scheduled to release in September for 6,600 Yen. Volks had some additional photos.

 A while back the RMZ Zabat was revealed in full. Its official page covers all the various details and concepts. The posability looks amazing and the Zoid still has many of its classic gimmicks, such as the detachable bomb in the belly. It also comes with the option parts for the man and unmanned cockpit designs. It's scheduled to release in September for 4,620 Yen.

 The Zabat will be split into two releases, the standard and the Full Option Set. The Full Option Set will include numerous added parts including the AZ 3-Shot Air-To-Air Missiles, a Radome, and hangar parts for displaying the Zoid in a hanging upside down position. You can see photos at the bottom of its official page. It's set to release in October for 6,600 Yen.

 A while back the official page was launched for the Hell Cat & Molga Set, which features classic Zenebas color schemes. The official page contains plenty of photos, and the set includes the stand and other option parts. This set is scheduled to release in September for 4,620 Yen.

 In the last couple of RMZ kits TT has started including the teaser images on the website, as well! That means that we got a new reveal with the Urban Wuf's page, the Shield Liger Mark II! It'll be interesting to see how they approach this variant, which has historically been plagued by fragile parts in the weapon attachments. That being said, of all the be-cannoned Shieldies, MK-II is my personal favorite, ever since seeing its antique-looking color scheme in Saga I.

 During the Blade Liger Panzer announcements they also revealed the next new RMZ to be the Irvine Special Lightning Saix! This is an interesting choice, as there's lots of potential for what they could do here. This cat looks like it'll have some giant murder mittens!

 We've started seeing more info about the Command Wolf Urban Warfare Special, starting with a cool teaser image! This marks the first time that this Command Wolf variant is receiving a model kit release. The added Rocket Launchers can rotate up and down. The newly-designed head, which is different from the standard RMZ Command Wolf (lacking some of the throat floof) allows for a greater range of motion and, of course, it comes with all the parts needed to make a basic Command Wolf so you can enjoy the greater range on the default Zoid. The kit is scheduled to release in August for 5,940 Yen (tax included.)

 A new page is available for the RMZ-016 Blade Liger Panzer! It has lots of nice photos and some concept art. The kit is scheduled to release in July for 9,900 yen. A promotional image was posted for it a while back along with a video preview. Hobby Watch also posted an interview of the kit and it looks absolutely stunning. The Blade Liger with the Panzer mane looks particularly cool.

 A post from a while back for the RMZ-15 Saber Tiger Raven Spec. showed that the Zoid comes with a pilot figure of Raven as well as a little Shadow figure. The Shadow figure has the wings stowed, so is different from the one being distributed with Raven's Geno Saurer. You can find concept art on its page (first link). This kit is scheduled to release in June for 7,150 yen (tax included.)

 The RMZ-009 Iron Kong released recently! You can view lots of photos on the site along with some concept art. SigemikanZ, customizer of the box art models also posted a nice look at both the detailed-up Kong and the box art.

 A new post about the Raven Saber shows even more updates regarding the custom broken armor pieces of the kit. It not only includes the bare claws and face, which we knew from earlier photos, but even includes a shredded silver lower leg piece for the left leg, and a torn off right-leg. It's still unclear if this part is a custom piece or if the leg would normally be assembled around it, but either way, it's pretty cool! Pre-orders expected to open in November.

 The 63rd All Japan Model Hobby Show is starting tomorrow, and we've seen a heaping ton of exciting reveals. T-Spark will be among those exhibiting at the event. Perhaps one of the most exciting developments was the launch of a new animated video, Zoids Battle Films. In this animated short we see multiple toylines featured, including RMZ and HMM, with a peculiar Death Saurer reminiscent of the Concept Art universe. We have no context yet about this animation. If it's a one off, why certain pilots seem so familiar, or what to expect going forward. For now, though? It's exciting to have a new animation. At the start, I almost thought it'd be the battle of Valhalla. I have to admit, seeing Falcon viewed in a doomier light was such a cool perspective.

 Well this one came out of left field! RMZ has announced a new variant, the RMZ-016 Blade Liger Panzer, scheduled for Winter 2025! This Zoid is... exactly what it sounds like- An RMZ Blade Liger with Panzer armor installed. It featured as a primary character in the Zoids Battle Films short (well, sort of, they used an HMM, but still!) and was announced alongside the other armor. The prototype is on display at the venue, and Hobby Watch, Dengeki Hobby, and AmiAmi have both posted photos. I'm rather curious if this armor will fit the following kit...
