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.
