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.

 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.

 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.

 SigemikanZ, maker of many of the customs used in official product photos, has posted photos of the Gatling Fox Mizutsune and Knuckle Kong Rajang. These customs were used for the box arts of the two Monster Hunter collab kits, which have just released!

 Well this one came out of left field! RMZ has announced a new variant, the RMZ-016 Blade Liger Panzer, scheduled for Winter 2025! This Zoid is... exactly what it sounds like- An RMZ Blade Liger with Panzer armor installed. It featured as a primary character in the Zoids Battle Films short (well, sort of, they used an HMM, but still!) and was announced alongside the other armor. The prototype is on display at the venue, and Hobby Watch, Dengeki Hobby, and AmiAmi have both posted photos. I'm rather curious if this armor will fit the following kit...

 Alongside the Blade Liger Panzer, RMZ also announced a Liger Zero Falcon, scheduled for 2026!! This kit featured as the other key protagonist of the animated short, sporting Liger Zero armor for the rear legs. It seems the RMZ will be fully clad, and will be the first Zero we're getting in the line! It's interesting to start with one of the less popular armors.

 A new group photo of the RMZ display at the event reveals for the very first time that RMZ is planning to also do the Command Wolf Urban Warfare Spec. from Episode 16 of Chaotic Century! (Name subject to change; the text isn't very visible.) This episode was so iconic to me when I was younger, so I'm stoked that they're making an official kit of it!

 The prototype for the RMZ Zabat is on display at the event! Not only do they have two of them around to show off the articulation, but it also seems like this Zoid will come with a special hangar bay with bars in it. This means the Zabat will probably be able to hang upside down, like a real bat, which was one of the coolest features of the old Tomy kit.

 The first promo image of the RMZ Saber Tiger Raven Spec. brings with it the announcement that pre-orders are starting in November. Even more interesting, however, is that it includes broken armor pieces for the face! In the recently-broadcasted stream we got to see that it had peeled claws, but it's awesome to know they're going the fully distance and including the damaged maw of this hateful Zoid. It also has a display at the event.

 Kotobukiya's promo twitter made two exciting announcements today, the Lightning Saix Irvine Spec. Recolor 2000 and the HMM Gun Sniper Rinnon Spec. Re/color 2001 with a slash through it because... y'know. NC/0!. We don't know yet what exactly these rereleases will entail. If they'll include anime pilots, painted or otherwise, what 'recolor' will mean, or what other changes they may still have. Even so, it's exciting news for fans who missed the earlier waves of anime Zoids, and have waited patiently for another chance!
