An article from
Get News has gone into more detail about the presentation for Zoids Wild. Including that the line will be
1/35 scale, which sounds bigger than it is. However, since the Zoids themselves are much smaller, allowing pilots to ride on them, they'll probably turn out a bit smaller than the motorized versions.
The bond between pilots and riders will be emphasized in the new series, and with many shots of the hero, Arashi, riding his Wild Liger, it's likely we'll see character figures with each Zoid. Hopefully they'll still come with the clear pilots.
According to a post made by Falcarius on Phenotype Zoids, they've discussed wanting to work with their global partners in North America, Europe, and Asia, to bring Zoids Wild to children around the world. This may mean we have a chance of seeing Zoids in these countries again, and perhaps even a dub of the anime, though it's too early to tell.
Placed in the display of the current product lineup was an alternate color of the Gilraptor, piloted by Gallagher. Perhaps he'll trade up? It's unclear at this time if it's planned to release as an actual product after the Gilraptor.
The new Zoids have a decent number of features, and we've gone through every video we could find to provide a detailed list of what parts seem to be movable on the motorized kits. These are mostly automatic features, but some may require you to adjust the armor manually.

There was a preview shot of the effects you could apply through the "Zoids Wild" app. The app will also provide instructions for your figures and Zoids games that are accessible without having the toys. There are already plans to hold contests related to creating your own Zoids videos through the app.
By design it could provide hours of entertainment for Zois enthusiasts! Though be aware, contests will likely be for Japan residents only. Still, it's a fun idea. The app is scheduled for June 2018.
