Wild Zoids

[chris514]

I am putting this here because my question deals with the models, anime, and pretty much anything the Zoids franchise has ever done.

I came across this:

theironbible.com/ZoidsActionFigures/ArtStatues/Vol1WildLiger.php

It is a miniature statue of a Wild Liger. Wild Zoids being the original zoids native to the planet Zi which were presumably at some point either hunted or trapped to be used to create the Zoids that were used by humans, either by modifying their existing bodies or by just taking their cores and constructing entirely new bodies for them. The process is unclear as there is little mention of actual wild Zoids.

This is the only figure I have been able to find of a Wild zoid. I don't know of any depictions of wild Zoids in either the anime or the manga.

I was just curious about what else might be out there related to them. Are there any other models or figures? Were they ever mentioned in the anime and I just missed it? The manga maybe?

I would love to know more about these things.

There are references to the Wild Zoids in the books included with the Zoids Graphics line (a limited line of re-issued classics), which also show some art for them. Also, the Zoids Concept Art books have a very interesting take on wild Zoids "re-imagined," for better or for worse.

For reading technical data, I would have to again recommend Falcarius' Zoids Bible translations over in the General Board~ It includes quite in depth data about Wild Zoids (compared to, well, anything else.) Most of the Wild Zoid mentions on boxes are just kind of glancing over the details.

I never got around to making a proper page for it but there is also a Wild Kong from the Art Statues.

Zoid Boxes also feature a few. Wild Liger (as you already saw) and one for Fury, Giga, and Seismo.




Liger Zero's box has this little blurb on it but I don't have the others.

A large disaster in the year ZAC 2056 drove countless mechanical life-forms to extinction. After this year, almost all wild Zoids were put under the management of people from Planet Zi, and a protective policy was put in place. As a result, even though the number of individuals was stabilized, the natural vitality of the wild Zoids was greatly reduced. But, there existed a small quantity of Zoids that survived completely in the wild. The Liger Zero's fuselage was produced based on such a completely wild Zoid, so it was full of vitality. With the combat data of previous Liger series, and the use of the "Changing Armor System" which can fully replace the equipment for each duty, it can cope with various combat situations.
