You wanted a review on Zoids! In Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed, players will let loose the wild mecha power and animal instincts of Zoids in breathtaking, head-to-head battles against friends or in a new single-player Zoids story that follows the war between Arashi’s Team Freedom and the power-hungry Team Dark Metal. One of the first examples of product synergy for the merged company was the combining of Takara’s Jinsei Game (Game of Life) license and Tomy’s Pokémon license to produce a Pokémon Jinsei Game.īut, you did not come here to read about Tomy (although it’s interesting). Tomy’s rights to these licenses vary by region.
The merged Takara-Tomy also produces and/or sells a wide variety of toy and game brands under license, such as Thomas & Friends, Disney, Pokémon, Naruto, The Game of Life (also known as Jinsei Game), Rockman (a.k.a. Mega Man), Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, Kirarin Revolution, Sugarbunnies and Animal Crossing. Takara-Tomy has manufactured a broad range of products based on its own properties which include, from the Tomy side: Tomica, Plarail, Zoids, Idaten Jump, Nohohon Zoku and Tomy branded baby care products, and, from the Takara side: Space Pets, Choro-Q (also known as Penny Racers), Transformers, B-Daman, Koeda-chan (also known as Treena) and Microman. Tomy is no small player in the toys business: The franchise started with a model-kit-based toy line and includes five main anime TV series (Chaotic Century, New Century, Fuzors, Genesis, and Wild) as well as several video games and manga products.
Zoids ( ゾイド, Zoido) is a science fiction media franchise created by Tomy that feature giant robots (or “mecha”) called “Zoids.” A Zoid is essentially a large mechanical animal, with designs being based on animals, including dinosaurs, insects, arachnids, and mythological creatures. Surely the series evolved, and they added a lot of Zoids I never heard of, but the basis was still there – mecha-animals and dinos battling it out. So when Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed popped into our inbox, I did not hesitate to pick up this piece of nostalgia. I don’t remember the name, but it must have been something like Zaber Fang when I did some research.
Way before I was into Pokémon and Digimon, I had a Zoids action figure.
