The AZ-07 Death Saurer started shipping out earlier this month, and people who pre-ordered should be receiving them soon! In the meantime, here are some videos that were released for the kit over the past few weeks. There's also an edited for tv commercial that we've already seen the contents of.

 Sketches for the upcoming AMZ Berserk Führer armors, the Jagd and Sturm were shown off at the 62nd All Japan Model Hobby Show. We don't know much about these armors yet, but look forward to more information.

 The prototype of the upcoming HMM Salamander was finally revealed at the All Japan Model Hobby Show! A stream showing off all of the articulation was also held a couple weeks ago. During the stream they teased the recently announced HMM Molga (posted somewhere below). I'd also recommend people not be too terribly concerned about how loose the parts look in the video. This has been the case for all of the 3d printed prototypes shown off on stream, but the final versions have been more solid.

 Discussed way back during the Guysack stream, Kotobukiya has announced an HMM Molga Full Option Set! This is essentially like the Command Wolf Repackage, featuring one Molga with the weapons from all releases. So for example, AA and Carrier gear. The kit has a new molding color, new decals, and clear colorless plastic. It also includes the older cap design from the HMM Redler. It's scheduled to release in May 2025 for 7,150 yen (tax included.)

 A new Command Wolf has been announced! This kit is effectively the Repackage (hmm, maybe it should have also been called Full Option Set??), including the AC & LC gear. The cockpit also comes with clear colorless plastic, a first for a Command Wolf kit, as the only other release of this colorless canopy was through the Customize Parts, which have long since been out of production. Like other MPVs it also comes with new decals, and includes old-style caps from the HMM Redler. The kit is scheduled to release in April for 7,700 yen (tax included).

 The HMM Guysack Old Republic Ver. is up for pre-order now, as a Kotobukiya Shop Exclusive! Guysack looks surprisingly tough in these new colors, like a tiny little tank. The kit is scheduled for release in April 2025 for 6,160 yen and includes clear colorless parts.

 The HMM Dark Horn is finally up for an MPV release! This kit has abstained from updating its price point for a number of years, which is quite respectable for how many parts it is. Now it's finally time, however. With this new release the decals, which have been expanded quite a bit are being converted to waterslides and the kit will include clear colorless parts.

 A number of re-releases have been announced, including the Redler Zenebas Ver. (April 2025, 6600 Yen), Redler Guylos Ver. (May 2025, 6600 Yen), Sturm Tyrann Berserk Unit Set (May 2025, 18150 Yen), Godos MPV (June 2025, 5940 Yen), and Storm Sworder (February 2025, 10120 yen.) This is the first time the Berserk Unit set has ever been rereleased, which is exciting for those who missed it the first time around!

 So, Metamor Verse, one of the more vague announcements during the T-Spark launch has finally received a bit of an expansion. The official website clarifies it to be a multi-franchise character model kit series including such IPs as Zoids and Transformers. Set in the virtual game universe of Metamor Verse, characters are united with "Buddy Armors", small mechs that can convert into combat suits for the characters when needed in combat. A video was posted by Zoids Official, along with our first look at the prototype figures.

 Ever wanted to hoard your bespoke cardboard boxes but found yourself frustrated at how fragile they can be? Well, look no further! Volks has come out with a couple of Zoids Folding Containers, durable plastic containers that can collapse down into a flat form for easy storage. Each container has branding specific to the Empire and Republic, and went on sale November 23rd for 7,150 yen each.

 The popup tour has been in full swing, moving from one location to another. Each location has gotten its own custom art for products and promotions, including Dogo Onsen (here's another, Umeda Loft, Gairosu-tei, Sakae Loft (with Organoids, and Sendai Loft. They've also posted lots of various product images as well as some photos of the venue itself.

 Zoids is doing another collab with Medarot. This time they'll be featuring the Death Stinger, Storm Sworder, Gojulas, Shield Liger S, Berserk Führer, Liger Zero! There's also some character costume collabs.

 There's also gameplay clips of Berserk Führer and Liger Zero, as well as concept art of Liger Zero, Berserk Führer, Gojulas, Storm Sworder, and Death Stinger. You can see some alternate skins as well.

 In the recent RMZ preview videos, we learned that Trinity Liger is actually the next RMZ after the previously-announced Saber Tiger Schwarz! This is really exciting, as while we knew of the Trinity's potential in this series from the announcement silhouettes, there are tons of anime Zoids that could've been made before it. It's nice to see video game Zoids being given some priority to run alongside the anime kits, instead of waiting. What we see from the preview looks great, but check out the RMZ Helcat and Molga videos below for a full view of this image.

 The Command Wolf Irvine will be following on the heels of Trinity Liger, introducing an iconic anime Zoid! Irvine's Command Wolf always had a degree of respect as a combat Zoid in the original anime, especially compared to later wolves, and if any wolf would look good with the bulkier RMZ design, it's this one. Like the Trinity Liger, this teaser is from the end of the Helcat and Molga videos.

 The RMZ Helcat now has an official page on TakaraTomy's RMZ website. As usual, this shows off tons of images of the kit, which is expected to release in late April 2025 for 2,970 yen (roughly $21). We also now know that the Helcat will come with an action stand for different poses. The stand appears to have two connector types and three different pole lengths for more dramatic posing.

 The page also shows off a concept art image that contains several interesting details. We see in the concept art that it had a new type of gun mount, but it seems that the team was able to secure this range of motion even with the traditional design, which looks nicer imo. On top of that, the concepts show what the Helcat would look like if it were equipped with boosters from the Gun Sniper. It seems the gun mount still has two pegs on the sides, so if we ever get a Gun Sniper, it might be possible to recreate this concept.

 There's also an official page for the RMZ-005 Molga! Tons and tons of images of the kit as well as some concept art showing off the missiles and cockpit. Among the various articulated parts, I was particularly happy to see that the gatling guns on the head are attached to an armor piece that can rotate up and down, making this weapon less of an ankle biting height. While the Molga includes a slot for one, it actually doesn't come with the action stand. You'll need to buy the Helcat if you want a stand for the Molga. This kit is scheduled to be released in late April 2025 for 2,750 yen (roughly $19).

 The Synergenex collabs Spider Zoids Spider-Man Special and Spider Zoids Black Spider-Man Special are hitting stores, so check your favorite shops of choice! They now have their own pages on TT's website, showing off both the action figure and the Zoid kit. Both kits are scheduled for late April for 4,400 yen (each, roughly $31).

 Takara Tomy has added another brand to their lineup: Synergenex, a line of collaborative products between their own IPs and those of other companies! This is rather exciting, as the collaborations released in recent times, even for simple Wild kits have really outdone themselves. In particular, the Monster Hunter and Patlabor collabs. Which, it turns out, will continue! Announcing more Monster Hunter and Patlabor collabs was part of the reveal.

 The biggest product announced under the new Synergenex label is a Zoids x Transformers collab! Fans have been asking for many years why Zoids didn't have a transformers collab, and now it does! This announcement focuses on the Shield-D-Prime, a Shield Liger transformer based on the long-running 1/60 scale Diaclone series.

 Diaclone are modular in nature, allowing for figures to be disassembled and combined in different ways. In spite of being a transformer, the Shield Liger is quite convincing as a Zoid, so even if you're not a Transformers fan, it's a figure you can easily enjoy. Many of the newer products of this series run at higher prices comparable to other diecast figures, but we don't yet know the price of this one. The product is currently slated for 2025, so look forward to more news.

 Just before Synergenex's main announcement, Takara Tomy also announced a Spider-man x Zoids collab! This caught the interest of older fans who remember the Spider-man and Zoids comics from back in the day. Though these comics weren't quite what we think of as a collaboration today (the two series were separate, but printed in the same magazine) it's still a name that rings nostalgic with many fans. Both kits were shown off at the Tokyo Toy Show.

 Now we're getting a genuine collaboration, featuring two Spideath recolors: Spiderman Special, colored in Spider-Man's classic red and blue, complete with the webbing design of the suit, and Black Spider-Man Special, featuring black, white, and blue coloring. The kits also come with miniature articulated Spider-Man figures, which is just such a fun addition. Especially for kids who only got into the Zoids franchise during the Wild launch. Both kits are slated for a September 2024 pre-order and a post by media outlet The River JP shows off some art for the collab!
