Two Zoids model kit releases are in production: Kotobukiya's HMM Salamander F2 Fighting Falcon and Takara Tomy's Desert Liger, both with 2026 delivery windows.
Kotobukiya announced an HMM series plastic model kit of the ZOIDS Republic Air Force Salamander F2 Fighting Falcon, a variant from the Dark War era. The kit is a Kotobukiya Shop exclusive and features gold-plated Falcon Wing parts, two gold-plated pilot figures, clear parts, and a removable Zoid core. It is scheduled for release in November 2026 at 32,780 yen.
Takara Tomy Mall opened lottery sales for the Realize RMZ-EX02 Desert Liger model kit, a 1/100 scale action model based on colors from a 2003 game accessory. Applications run until June 30, 2026, with delivery in late July. The Desert Liger revives a Zoids design from that game.
Both kits are premium, limited-run items. The Salamander F2 Fighting Falcon is a less-common mechanical beast given a high-end treatment, while the Desert Liger returns a design from a two-decade-old game. No further Zoids media or franchise-wide announcements appear in the coverage.
