In 1999 TOMY re-launched the Zoids line in Japan.
Commonly
referred to
as the "NJR" or New Japanese release, the line was again divided into
two
opposing sides and this time had anime that provided the back story.
Several new
models were designed and released. The line was successful and in 2001
the large US based toy company, Hasbro, imported the line to the US.
This release is referred to as the "NAR" or New American release.
The Hasbro line also had an animated series that provided the back story
for the Zoids models. At first the Hasbro line consisted solely of
re-released and repackaged. NJR Zoids. The box art of both the NJR and
NAR were
similar in the fact
that they both featured a picture of the actual Zoid model, along with
various stats of the particular Zoid. Eventually Hasbro began to create
their own unique Zoids including, but not limited to, the three Gravity
Zoids, Black Rhimos, and Red Blade Liger. It has been noted that Hasbro
planned to release several more Zoids that never saw mass
production,
these include the Battle Rex and Cannon Ceasar. The Battle Rex being
a
re-colored Deadboarder, and the Cannon Ceasar being a re-colored God
Kaiser
gives
the idea that Hasbro may have had plans to release more Zoids that were
re-colored and original to the OJR zoids line.
The line was successful and the majority of the Zoids that you may
still find at discount stores are from the NAR release. The NAR and
NJR
releases are by far the most common releases, and are usually the basis
of
beginning to collect Zoids. In 2004 Hasbro Cancelled the Zoids line
here in the
US.
