Zoids Wild Updates!  [Official]


    Minor details are starting to surface about Zoids Wild as more and more websites are publishing their articles. The first is that while we saw painted figures earlier, these are likely going to come with the clear pilots instead. It's still unclear if the painted figures will make an appearance in some way, shape, or form.

    We've also gotten our first look at the instruction booklet (or Reconstruction Document), which is in full color and places the parts list on the inside cover. This means that instead of switching back an forth between pages, you can keep a constant eye on the parts you need. It's a small but appreciated quality of life update to the building process. The parts themselves are in baggies, called "excavation packs." Yes, it's gimmicky.





    We saw a black and purple version of the Gilraptor in the diaroma display, but according to Robostart's new article this is likely a painted display. We'll see if it's painted to match an anime variant or not!

    Their article also shows us the back of the boxes! This is very exciting. The design looks to include diaroma images and even flavor text (an explanation of the Wild Burst), much like the NJR. No battle story, but still great designs. It seems that the kits will also use 3mm pegs. This means they'll be able to mount some weapons/etc. from older Zoid designs.





    Maidigitv has posted a complete look at the conference, which is split up into 3 different parts. Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3. A lot of it we've already covered but it's worth watching to see the animations, interactions with the toys, etc.





    In the presentation there were some higher res images of the comic drafts, which is expected to launch in the April issue of Corocoro. Click the images below to enlarge!





    The slide showed the conceptualized store, a Zoids dedicated store that'll be opening up to sell the merchandise. There are shelves lined with Zoids, already with a tiny thumbnail look at what we can expect for the box art of the Cannontoise, Gabrigator, etc. A three-dimensional Wild Liger is placed in the back right of the store, with steps up to it so that fans can go and take their picture petting a full scale Zoid! This is also just a great way to see how this Zoid would really look next to a person. It really is sized to carry kids around.

    There's a picture with tons of merchandise. Admittedly, it's hard to tell what the many square items are, but we can assume things like postcards or notebooks and similar items might surface. Things that are pretty standard for any series, really. What we can definitely see are pens, thermos, cups, bags, backpacks, shoes, keychains, hats, coasters, boots, shoes, etc. Most apparel can be expected to be in kids sizes, but things like hats will hopefully have a larger size available.





    Finally we saw some conceptualized pieces leading up to the series. The original skeletons shown earlier, a diaroma of a preserved Shield Liger, and concepts for the skeletons that are brought back from these fossilized Zoids. The archeology theme is a fun take on the toy line.
