It will be an original-style Macross Veritech with swap-out armor and plates that let you create both the original look and the Jetfire look! And outside, Harmony Gold is beginning to worry the crowd as to no avail, it begins to try to gnaw through the doorknob to get in the room while clawing at the walls in a flailing way. Someone realizes it must be a zombie and calls the Ghostbusters and...

I would love a reissue of G1 Jetfire. I still have my G1 version but he is pretty yellow. Would be so cool to get a nice, white one.

I wouldn't even call it a crossover, since Chogokin is a multi-IP line by nature and Tomica is basically the Japanese equivalent to Hot Wheels.

I don't get it. But I hope they have a good experience working together and we can get something more interesting out of it in the future.

A Soul of Chogokin Liger Zero? Looks cool, but those things are out of my price range. (Now, if it were the Zero Jaeger.....)

Ah, ok, thank you. I admit I was sort of lost myself as to what this was. I think I just wasn't familiar enough with who owned what to get the idea.

So they're basiccly just cross-licensing for some promotional collectible purpose then? Oh, well, I did have Jetfire hopes. Though given what they've shown of MP Skyfire so far, I'm reasonably sure that Harmony Gold is regretting a lot now anyway.

I guess maybe Takara could convince Bandai to do the White Base in purple as the Decepticon warship Griffin. . .

(Very brief) article about the collaboration, DeepL translation:
BANDAI SPIRITS President Nao Udagawa and Takara Tomy Managing Director Akio Tomiyama took the stage. Liger Zero from "Chogokin x ZOIDS" and White Base from "Tomica x Mobile Suit Gundam" were unveiled and announced to be released in 2023!

As for how this collaboration came to be, it was revealed that the product was the result of discussions between the two companies to see if the toy industry could convey some positive news to a world depressed by the Corona disaster. In addition to the Liger Zero and White Base announced this time, other collaborative products are being prepared. It was also mentioned that the Liger Zero can be made into a bare body by removing the unit.

Original Japanese text:
ステージにはBANDAI SPIRITS代表取締役社長の宇田川南欧(うだがわなお)さん、タカラトミー常務取締役の富山彰夫(とみやまあきお)さんが登壇。「超合金×ZOIDS」によるライガーゼロ、「トミカ×機動戦士ガンダム」によるホワイトベースがアンベールされ、2023年に発売と発表されました!

今回のコラボが実現した経緯として、コロナで落ち込む世の中に玩具業界から何か明るいニュースを伝えられないかと、両社が議論した末にたどり着いたプロダクトであることが明かされました。このたび発表されたライガーゼロとホワイトベース以外にも、コラボ商品は準備されているとのこと。また、ライガーゼロはユニットを取り外して素体状態にすることも可能であることに触れられました。

So (assuming the DeepL translation is accurate) there could be more Bandai x Takara collaboration products.
