Kotobukiya is bringing back the Dark Horn Harry Special, the personal Zoid of Harry Champ from the 2001 TV anime Zoids: New Century/ZERO, as a re-colored reissue. The 1/72-scale plastic model features new mold colors intended to match the anime's color scheme more closely than the original kit. The gold weapons-the custom gatling gun, custom beam launcher, and side thrusters-are molded in two different gold tones. Clear parts now come in clear green and colorless clear plastic, letting builders paint their own preferred clear color. The kit includes figures of pilot Harry Champ and helper robots Benjamin and Sebastian. A new decal depicting Linon Tros, the character drawn on Harry's escape parachute, is included for the first time. The model is scheduled for release in November 2026 at 14,300 yen.
