They will almost all get brittle/hard, and possibly discolor over time. Just the nature of the material used. But search ebay and you may find spares cheap.

I never understood why Tomy never decided to sell replacement caps, as there is quite a lot of demand for them. The company still re-issues old Zoids models, so it's not like they lost the molds or anything.
As an alternative, I've seen some people fall back on rubber tubes that are used for aquarium filters to replace bristle Zoids caps. You buy the appropriate diameter tube, cut it up into cap-sized format and then put it on your Zoids. It doesn't look the same, but it will keep your Zoids together and enable you to make them functional again.
