TAKARA TOMY’s T-SPARK label has officially announced the latest addition to its 1/100-scale articulated REALIZE MODEL kit series. Based on the anime "Zoids: Chaotic Century," the new RMZ-028 Blade Liger AB Van Specification is scheduled for release in late June 2027.
The Blade Liger is the successor to the Shield Liger, powered by the special Organoid System recovered from ancient ruins. This system dramatically increases its agility, allowing it to launch high-speed assaults and slice through enemies with the Laser Blades mounted along its flanks. Its mane-mounted shield generators also provide greater defensive performance than those of the Shield Liger. Equipping the Attack Boosters transforms it into the upgraded Blade Liger AB, greatly enhancing its mobility while allowing the boosters to rotate forward and function as AZ High-Density Beam Cannons.
The RMZ-028 Blade Liger AB Van Specification is a revised version of the first kit in the series, the RMZ-001 Blade Liger. The model uses multicolored molded parts throughout and features extensive articulation across the neck, shoulders, torso, limbs, and tail. Even smaller areas such as the elbows, knees, claws, and leg-mounted cooling systems are articulated, allowing for lifelike roaring, threatening, running, and attack poses worthy of a mechanical predator. The head cockpit can also open to accommodate included in-scale minifigures of the series’ two leads, Van and Fiona, as well as a standard soldier.
The kit adds newly tooled Attack Boosters featuring extendable cannon barrels and the opening booster mechanism seen in the anime. Even with the Attack Boosters installed, the Laser Blades on both sides of the body can still deploy and accept effect parts for attack poses. The upper and lower E-Shield generators in the mane and the fins on either side also feature opening mechanisms. New E-Shield effect parts molded in clear yellow plastic are included to recreate the Blade Liger’s enhanced appearance from the anime.
