The Synergenex collabs Spider Zoids Spider-Man Special and Spider Zoids Black Spider-Man Special are hitting stores, so check your favorite shops of choice! They now have their own pages on TT's website, showing off both the action figure and the Zoid kit. Both kits are scheduled for late April for 4,400 yen (each, roughly $31).

 The biggest product announced under the new Synergenex label is a Zoids x Transformers collab! Fans have been asking for many years why Zoids didn't have a transformers collab, and now it does! This announcement focuses on the Shield-D-Prime, a Shield Liger transformer based on the long-running 1/60 scale Diaclone series.

 Diaclone are modular in nature, allowing for figures to be disassembled and combined in different ways. In spite of being a transformer, the Shield Liger is quite convincing as a Zoid, so even if you're not a Transformers fan, it's a figure you can easily enjoy. Many of the newer products of this series run at higher prices comparable to other diecast figures, but we don't yet know the price of this one. The product is currently slated for 2025, so look forward to more news.

 Just before Synergenex's main announcement, Takara Tomy also announced a Spider-man x Zoids collab! This caught the interest of older fans who remember the Spider-man and Zoids comics from back in the day. Though these comics weren't quite what we think of as a collaboration today (the two series were separate, but printed in the same magazine) it's still a name that rings nostalgic with many fans. Both kits were shown off at the Tokyo Toy Show.

 Now we're getting a genuine collaboration, featuring two Spideath recolors: Spiderman Special, colored in Spider-Man's classic red and blue, complete with the webbing design of the suit, and Black Spider-Man Special, featuring black, white, and blue coloring. The kits also come with miniature articulated Spider-Man figures, which is just such a fun addition. Especially for kids who only got into the Zoids franchise during the Wild launch. Both kits are slated for a September 2024 pre-order and a post by media outlet The River JP shows off some art for the collab!

 A new comic is being developed as part of the ongoing collaboration between Patlabor and Zoids! The project, Code Name B.U.D.D.Y. was first announced earlier this month, showing off the logo. We've now got our first full color artwork for the series!
