One of the most recognizable mech designs in Zoids history is getting modern model-kit treatment. The REALIZE MODEL series will add the Blade Liger, with a new version of the fan-favorite machine slated to release next year.

The Blade Liger has been conspicuously absent from the REALIZE lineup until now, making this reveal a long-awaited one for collectors. This iteration arrives with a major new battle upgrade, distinguishing it from the many prior renditions of the lion-type Zoid that anchored the franchise's most beloved era.

The REALIZE MODEL series has been steadily working through the Zoids catalog with contemporary engineering and detail standards, and landing the Blade Liger gives the line its biggest marquee name yet. Expect the kit to be a hot preorder when details on pricing and an exact date firm up.
