Far from finished, but here are some pics of the ZOIDS2 (the “new line of Zoids with all new color schemes” you referred to).

One of the few classic toys that I actually had some of… I even had the Giant Zrk! The cool thing though was that they could be disassembled and combined in silly ways. The ultimate cool was that the little ones all had these little engine+wing pieces that could be stuck onto the separated cockpit to make a tiny VTOL aircraft! The cockpit pieces on the Zrk could make extra big aircraft. Needless to say, the heads of mine were almost never on their bodies!

I totally agree with the comments on first zoids ! Real poetry. Zoids were very peacefull before the next generations (that are smaller than their guns) – They fright the ennemy with their black legs !!

My mother in law lives in Albequerque, as well as a few cousins of mine. Glad to hear everyone is well. I try not to think about how long ago that was.

Very cool to hear that you still have it after 25 (yikes!) years. I am still in Albuquerque, working at the University of New Mexico. Everyone is doing good!

Hi Rick, how’s it going? Long time no talk. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe I gave you one of these for your birthday when we live in Colombia SA. Wasn’t it the T-Rex looking Zoid?

Sandy = you can still get zoids, but not the ones I featured on this page. Tomy re-introduced Zoids in the 90s (last pic on page) and they are easy to find in most import stores. But honestly, zoids are cheap. You can get them on ebay for practically nothing.

Clyde = Starriors are pretty cool. Eventually I do a page on them.

Enduros: I don’t remember Stompers. I’ll need to look them up. Giant Zrk was AWESOME. Never had that one.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I had the Giant Zrk too. I think I still have most of it somewhere….. It was motorized. It would walk and the head/neck would move up and down as well. Man, I wish I took care of these toys back in the day….
