A recent blog by Kotobukiya confirmed that the Liger Zero Empire will be receiving an HMM Marking Plus Version. Like its first iteration, this kit will be a Kotobukiya Direct exclusive, as will the dedicated X unit (The X armor without the base body). |

Why do a Marking Plus Ver. 4 years later? This kit isn't even that old.

The kit was only released one single time, and if they're going to rerelease it, why not include bonuses? It'd be a mistake to release the X armor unit set without rereleasing the Liger it's supposed to go on.

I would prefer that the X unit be released as a regular item and not make it exclusive.

That would definitely be ideal. I'm guessing it's exclusive because the Zoid it goes to is exclusive, but I'm sure plenty of people would be content to put their Xs on basic Zeros or paint an X of their own. I'm guessing we'll be getting a full X kit release later, and it just hasn't been announced yet (similar to how we know we're getting MP Panzer Unit rerelease, but full set isn't confirmed yet). Still would be nice to buy the armor separate, even if that comes to be.

So liger x will be a separate CAS and we need to get the body? Or will it also come combine like all the zeros did

If they are giving the Liger Zero Empire Ver. a Marking Plus release, they should also give the Death Stinger Hiltz Ver. a Marking Plus release too.

We don't know yet. All that is confirmed so far is that X will get a dedicated CAS unit (armor only) like the other CAS units did, and that it will be Koto exclusive. However, it was announced at the same time as the Liger Zero Panzer dedicated unit, without an announcement of the full MPV Panzer kit. I'd expect full Panzer to come long before X, so with that not announced, I'm guessing it's just too early for them to release those kinds of details for the full kit (date, price, etc.) Schneider's recent MPVs were split up similarly.
I think (there is no confirmation) we will have both options, with the separate armor option being a Koto Direct Exclusive with the Empire MPV release to bolster sales from Kotobukiya Direct. We will probably get a combined version that is released in other stores.
Hiltz honestly wouldn't benefit from an MPV other than... Well, the crazy market. Hiltz has no markings to speak of. No warning labels, no personal logo. There's just... nothing to add to it, unless they make stuff up. I would love to see general rereleases of Koto Direct exclusive stuff, though. Probably very unlikely when there's not affiliated products to pedal.

If they are giving the Liger Zero Empire Ver. a Marking Plus release, they should also give the Death Stinger Hiltz Ver. a Marking Plus release too. I missed out on the Hiltz, so a rerelease is good for me. |

They should do a Liger Zero Empire Ver. Clear Ver. one day.

This is such a disappointment. It's STILL a Koto Direct exclusive the second time around? And the X armor and X kit will be as well?
Oh well :/
