NJR Zoids
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Japanese Release of Zoids is the fourth incarnation of Zoids in Asia. The series was re-launched by Tomy in 1999 mainly in Japan, with subsequent release elsewhere in Asia. Initially, the line consisted of recoloured re-releases of older Zoids, but TOMY quickly began producing new Zoids designs. The Zoids were divided into Helic and Guylos factions, with the Zenebas Empire returning later. The OJR battle story was continued on the NJR boxes, with the Zoids Anime and Manga drawing on alternate versions of the New Battle Story's events. The line was abruptly halted in mid 2004. By the end of the line, there were still thirty-three Zoids from the OJR that were yet to be re-released.
The New Japanese Release is commonly abbreviated by fans as NJR.

[edit] Unreleased Eighth Wave
These three were listed on a Japanese site some time ago, but nothing else was said. Part of a name, no photo, nothing. These would have been released had the line not been halted in 2004. A theory says that those two were released after in the Fuzor line.

[edit] Customizable Parts
Along with the re-launch of the Zoids line, TOMY also launched a sub-line known as Customise Parts or simply CP. The line consisted of additional weapons and equipment that could be added onto Zoids models. The line was a mixture of new parts and re-issues of parts originally included in various OJR models.
[edit] Cyber-Drive
TOMY introduced a second sub-line in 2002, known as Cyber-Drive Zoids. This line was centred around partially pre-built Zoids that were remote controlled. Additionally, the Zoids could be operated via an infrared adapter attached to a Game Boy Advance unit. The line was rather unsuccessful, mainly due to the high price per unit and the pre-built nature of the models. Only three Zoids were released, one of which was a recolour bundled with the Cyber-Drive video game.

[edit] Panzer Tier
In 2003, Panzer Tier began re-releases of some of the 1:24 scale Zoids. These re-releases also featured the box art and model kit pilots from the previous Zevle versions of the Zoids. The line appears to have been unsuccessful, and was halted after only half of the Zoids had been re-released.
