In a huge surprise Zoids Official posted a teaser image of the next AZ Zoid, depicting a strangely familiar weapon. It was titled as a new project by the codename Super Dreadnought: The same codename used for the Ultra Saurus in the Zoids Battle Story. It looks like they'll be releasing not just the Ultra Saurus, but also including the Gravity Cannon! This is an amazing addition going above and beyond what it needed to be. The Gravity Cannon has been such a sought-after kit that its been made numerous times by fans, but even when making them yourself, it's hard and costly to do so. With what we saw in the AZ Death Saurer it's also exciting to think about the incredible engineering that may go into the Ultra Saurus!

 Another unexpected variant was announced for the Sea Panther, a Dark Army Spec.! This black-armored kit includes a glow-in-the-dark green frame, which should look amazing. It'll be a T-Spark exclusive. For people state-side, you can usually find those on Kotobukiya-US. More photos can be seen on the Takara Tomy Mall. This kit is expected to release in August for 6,050 yen.

 The Murasame Liger Original Color is already up for pre-order on the TakaraTomy Mall (Scheduled for July for 14,300 Yen) so we're beginning to see more official photos for it. These photos also confirm that it comes with a glow in the dark blade, a shout out to the old motorized kit.

 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.

 Hobby Watch posted an interview for the AMZ Berserk CAS units! It includes lots of photos of the products as well as some interesting insights into the development of both units.

 Kotobukiya posted a LABO Article going over the Lightning Saix Irvine and Gun Sniper Leena. It includes a ton of anime screenshot recreations as well as good looks at the two kits in their default colors.

 Figsoku posted some extra pictures of the beautiful chrome-gold Hunter Wolf Garo. Unfortunately this still seems to be venue-specific, so we'll be waiting for the second-hand market. That aside, the kit is gorgeous.

 A page has been made for the Great Extinction Exhibit collab kits, the Redonda Gabrigator and the Dimepulsar Rare Bone Ver. 2025. Hobby Watch also did a review of the special kits while Takara Tomy Toys posted a video.

 We've got new pictures of the Shoulder Zun figs that appeared a while back on Rakuten! The set includes four figures in total, Gojulas, Shield Liger, Death Saurer, and Iron Kong. Hobby Watch has some 3/4 shots of the figs. They're scheduled to release in late January for about 400-yen each. You can find them on sites like Rakuten.

 For those unaware, Code Name B.U.D.D.Y. has been getting posted each month over on Hero Bunko, which includes the first chapter and the second-to-latest chapter available for free. It's a cute story worth checking out!

 After its run in Japan the 25th Anniversary Pop-Up Tour hopped over to Taiwan, where it started providing even more adorable illustrations! We have Bang and Raven eating lunch with their Zoids, Sieg and Shadow, and a photo of the venue.

 They're also preparing for an online sale of much of the merchandise through Loft Net, which'll have its own exclusive illustrations. Pteras units meeting up to share souvenirs, the white Gordos picking fruit with its pilot (I'm not crying, you're crying-), and a whole collection of pilots and Zoids!

 Zoids is doing a crossover with the Godzilla Battleline app! They posted a preview video featuring the 3D model scenes from the AZ model kit videos and some in-game footage. The app now has the Blade Liger, Geno Breaker, and Death Saurer, so have some fun stomping on cities and frying up other monsters!

 Hobby Watch posted an interview with the staff members involved in the 40th anniversary of Zoids. It talks about each member's journey through the company and their involvement in the various parts of development.

 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.

 Hobby Watch has posted an interview discussing the first Metamor Verse figure, the Blade Liger! The interview is more or less what you'd expect, but an interesting note is that they'd also like to do male characters, not just female characters. The example given was Irvine and his Command Wolf. Few of these lines try for characters like Irvine, so it'd be interesting to see what they come up with.
