I too would be 100% okay with rereleases of old TOMY Zoids. And if they want to retool stuff, great. They have to remake the molds anyway. Tweak a few proportions, give Iron Kong back its thumbs, put in some more joints, separate some fused digits, and do it all over again at an AFFORDABLE price That's why I've been saying for a while now that we'll probably never see another round of reissues of the classic models - they'd have to recreate them from the ground up because the molds are shot. Now that I think about it, that may or may not be the reason why we've been getting these adapted MP Zoids. There's less work and new tooling involved than having to recreate the original BL and LZ kits entirely. And that gives us zero indication of what this new Deathsaurer's going to be - whether it's a new design or they just redo the old one, it's exactly what they've evidently been trying to avoid so far. Sigh. I need some info here, this is killing me.

But I'd also be okay with the original models as they are, but then again, I was a kid when these were first made, so the original line designs always seem "up to date" from my perspective! I would love to see some new CP-Kits as well--if TT wanted to do that too! And decal sheets for Guylos, Zenevas, and Helic. And cap packs, and cockpits and pilot packs as well. Heck, they could release Sci-tex along with it all and that would be perfectly fine with me!

It looks excellent! I love the height they got on the tail and the forward lean. Looking forward to larger pictures so we can really appreciate the design. The page roughly translates to:

Is that Gunther Prozen’s Death Saurer from Zoids: Chaotic Century?

Thank you, Google Translate: "Scheduled for Fall 2024 release. Suggested retail price to be decided. To commemorate Takara Tomy's 100th anniversary, we are releasing the long-awaited dinosaur Zoid as the first remake product in 25 years since its release in 1999. In addition to the movements of the face, neck, legs, arms, back, and tail, the realistic movements of a metal life form are reproduced, including the cylinders and spine of each joint, and the firing motion of large weapons. *Reservations are scheduled to start from April 2024 on the official shopping site "Takara Tomy Mall" and other locations." I'm guessing that it will walk, stop, lower it's head, fire the CPC, then return to stomping? I wonder if you can reserve one internationally? There goes all birthdays and Christmas this year, kids....

There goes all birthdays and Christmas this year, kids.... The other AZ zoids released these last two years (blade liger, liger zero, murasame liger, and lz phoenix) have all had preorders on the American retail stores (USAGS, gundamplanet, newtypehq, kotous, amazon, mechawarehouse, etc) so I think we should expect the AZ Death Saurer to be available for preorder through them as well.

AZ-08 = Glidolier ^_^
Okay, okay... I'm just glad to hear there will be US-available pre-orders... This may well be the last Zoid I collect (unless my life circumstances change drastically), so I don't want to miss it.
