The AZ-14 Liger Zero X was revealed a while back, and has been up for pre-order for a bit. The kit looks amazing, and trades the older deep-blue panels for a lighter ice-blue color. The Drum Condensers on the lower back, which were previously detail parts on older kits can actually spin (manually) on this one. It comes with a generic blue pilot figure and is scheduled to be released in late September for 13,206 Yen.

 An accompanying X Unit (featuring the armor only, bottom of page) will also be released at the same time as the AZ-14 Liger Zero X, in late September for 6,600 Yen.

 The AZ Geno Saurer is being released as the AZ-15 Psycho Geno Saurer variant, featuring the beautiful blues and purples and custom equipment. It'll include the phantom projectors and custom Flexible Laser on the head, as well as a Rease and Specular fig in addition to the standard pilot. It's scheduled to release in late September for 16,500 Yen.

 An interview posted by Hobby Watch also discusses the development of the Psycho Geno Saurer and Liger Zero X, with some additional photos. The Psycho Geno Saurer will come with all the parts to create a blue Geno Saurer. The eyes contain blue LEDs while the rest of the LEDs remain red.

 Quite a few people missed out on the Death Stinger Hiltz, which is now up for rerelease as the 2000 Recolor version! This kit is scheduled to release in August for 22,000 yen as a Kotobukiya Shop Exclusive. Like before it'll include plated parts and will include unpainted figures for Hiltz (standing and sitting) and Ambient. The Blade Liger miniature that comes with the kit will still be painted, featuring colors closer to the anime than the previous version with brighter blues and pale fangs. You can view more in the LABO Article.

 Schwarz's Iron Kong is also up for a rerelease, featuring darker more subdued colors that closer match the anime. Its official page features a number of photos that recreate famous scenes from the show, and the kit is scheduled to release in June for 21,450 Yen.

 The anime variants just keep rolling, with the Storm Sworder Ala Barone the next up to get an anime recolor kit. This kit features slightly toned down reds and will include clear orange pieces that simulate the charged up energy state of the blades, only with more fluorescent orange this time. It'll include unpainted figures for Rosso and Viola (sitting and standing.) This kit is scheduled to release in August for 12,980 Yen. You can view more details in the LABO article.

 Kotobukiya has announced the rerelease of some of their D-Style kits as new [Clear Parts Append] versions, which has excited quite a few fans! The Shield Liger and Command Wolf Irvine are already up for pre-order, and they've already confirmed the Gustav to be rereleased as well. Each kit will comed with clear colorless parts in addition to the clear colored parts, such as canopies. This allows you to paint them in your favorite colors. A recent blog article shows this off with a custom red-painted Imperial Shield Liger. The photos recreated some of the Battle Story images!

 A second Hunter Wolf collab kit was announced, closely mirroring the first Hunter Wolf MPD. This rerelease will feature a new head design with slicked back ears and modified face armor, and will sport silver accents instead of gold as well as bright blue eyes. This is a shout out release for the collaboration comic Code Name B.U.D.D.Y., which features two Hunter Wolves, Ares and Bess, who work closely with the MPD.

 A good while back the box arts were posted for the Unit 01 and Unit 02 kits from the Evangelion crossover, depicting backdrops that find a nice middle ground between featuring the Zoids and the collaboration mechs.

 Trinity Liger got a surprising color variant announced, the Captured Color! This features a dark, almost black purple-toned armor with translucent purple and gold parts and white accents. The color scheme is based on the old Zoids 2 PS2 game, where captured Zoids would feature unique color schemes. This kit is scheduled to release in September for 6,600 Yen. Volks had some additional photos.

 A while back the RMZ Zabat was revealed in full. Its official page covers all the various details and concepts. The posability looks amazing and the Zoid still has many of its classic gimmicks, such as the detachable bomb in the belly. It also comes with the option parts for the man and unmanned cockpit designs. It's scheduled to release in September for 4,620 Yen.

 The Zabat will be split into two releases, the standard and the Full Option Set. The Full Option Set will include numerous added parts including the AZ 3-Shot Air-To-Air Missiles, a Radome, and hangar parts for displaying the Zoid in a hanging upside down position. You can see photos at the bottom of its official page. It's set to release in October for 6,600 Yen.

 A while back the official page was launched for the Hell Cat & Molga Set, which features classic Zenebas color schemes. The official page contains plenty of photos, and the set includes the stand and other option parts. This set is scheduled to release in September for 4,620 Yen.

 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.
