The origin of the series dates back to 1982, when TOMY COMPANY, LTD., currently known, launched a toy for boys intended for overseas markets. In 1983, in Japan, it adopted the name of the overseas title “TECHNO ZOIDS”, which had been released ahead of time, and started its domestic expansion as “ZOIDS”.

It attracted significant attention and made a breakthrough when the anime version, aired in 1999, became a major hit. The storyline was quite serious, and it was an unusually cool anime that made generous use of 3DCG, which was pretty rare at that time, attracting attention not only from children but also from people who were not ZOIDS fans before.

So what exactly is a Zoid? Is it like a robot that a pilot rides and operates?

No, Zoids are actually metallic life forms that carry out life activities on a certain planet. So strictly speaking, they are alive and humans can ride them, but the Zoids also choose the humans to ride them, so they are robots but also have parts that are not robots, that's what they are.

Plastic Models of characters from the ZOIDS anime and games are hugely popular! The anime continues to be broadcast as a new series, steadily gaining popularity and fans, and the series continues to progress!

I see, so what's popular in the Plastic Model world right now are the ZOIDS that appear in the new series of the anime, or the ZOIDS that appear in the games and are assembled as Plastic Models.

That's right, ZOIDS have the unique skeletal structure of robots, but they also have a form that resembles a living creature, so they are a very popular Plastic Model Series in terms of design!

So if you want to know about ZOIDS, please check not only the Plastic Models, but also the anime and game versions to see what kinds of ZOIDS there are!
