You guys are silly, it's obviously not a KFM. It's going to be a glue-together type of kit, most likely made from resin. It's marketed at the higher-end collectors and professional model builders. -Phenotype

Ganj, there's already a KFM Liger Zero, and it has the armors... >> But it's not BIG.

Nifty, I think it's quite an interesting little guy. I like how the proportions are scaled differently for a bit of a different take on the design.

I personnaly hope it's an articulated plastic model kit, just like the armored core and super robot war kits we can see just above the Shield Liger. I do not have an SRW kit, but I have the AC C01-Gaea, it's a kit with articulations which does not require glue. Also, it's a high quality kit, molded in color, with a lot of pieces and a very detailed sculpt, it's not very expensive (2,800 yens) but not extremely big (but it is still 1/72, so with a little luck, we can hope the same for the SL).
I am very excited to see a zoids coming from Kotobukiya, with a little luck it can be as good as their AC plastic kits. I would be surprised to see a joint effort between tomy/takara and kotobukiya for just a resin model.

Nice kitty! If I didn't see the sign next to it I'd swear it were a good custom made from a box Shieldy. The chest has been widened considerably. The claws are bigger and spread, maybe paws off a Zero kit. The oversized tail gun is based on a Gundam EW 1:144 double gatling. (I use em myself. ) it has the Bladey rice-racin' spoiler on the back. Other than that all the parts look like Shieldy parts, just detailed up a little, and in an exciting and spiffy pose. This raises questions in my mind... is this a kit based directly on the old Shieldy parts? Is this a GK cast straight from a custom?? Is this perhaps a customizing kit for a Shieldy??? Is this a placeholder for a kit in progress? Is this some collective hallucination conjured by the longings of several thousand desperate, devoted Zoid fans? ??

Ah, you are correct. Well that's good news, I'm sick of them making all this stuff out of resin. -Pheno

As long as this isn't to horrible expensive, I think I may buy it. I actually like the odd proportions, makes an older design seem new... or something.

Wow, that thing is going be awesome. But it looks poseable, so do you guys think it'll still have a battery compartment, or will this be some whole new Shieldly? And will this be part of a new serries, and if so, think there'll be others?

Dunno yet, Zar. Depends how well this one does, if it does really well there *might* be others. We shall see.

Anyway, it is something that is going to be new ! The first time Kotobukiya is attacking the Zoids line ! Only for that, I should take one.
