Takara Tomy's popular toy series "Zoids" unveiled a new product, the "AZ-17DX Ultrasaurus Munbay Specification," at the 64th Shizuoka Hobby Show (organized by the Shizuoka Model and Educational Materials Cooperative Association), which opened on May 13th at Twin Messe Shizuoka (Suruga Ward, Shizuoka City). This marks the first time that the Ultrasaurus equipped with the Gravity Cannon will be fully rendered in three dimensions. It will be released in late February 2027.
The Ultrasaurus is a super-dreadnought dinosaur-type Zoid that was first commercialized in 1986. In the original anime "Zoids" which aired from 1999 to 2000, it appeared equipped with the anime-original giant gravity cannon, the Gravity Cannon. The "AZ-17 Ultrasaurus" (a standalone Zoid without weapons) without the Gravity Cannon will also be released at the same time.
The Shizuoka Hobby Show is an exhibition held in Shizuoka City, where many model manufacturers have factories, and has been held since 1959. This year, it will be held from May 13th to 17th, with the 16th and 17th being open to the public. Pre-registration is required for admission.
