These are hard to find. I lucked out and got a set on yahoo japan for a little over 1000 yen, but with the celga markups and all that it ended up being $30--ouch! They came in little boxes. Each box had a pair of figures, or one of the organoids. PICS, click for bigness   Generic pilots  Van and Fiona  Zeke. Nice grin, there...  Irvine, standing and sitting  Moonbey, standing and sitting  Little ol' Raven, standing and sitting  Shadow, with stubby wings or glorious ones. I never had my Genobreaker's shadow long enough to compare it with this one. I always thought they were identical, so I traded the GB's. I think Vishus has it? PROS-- pretty nice paint job, all the main characters CONS-- no sitting Van/Fiona (those are in minis set #1 with the Gustav trailer), rare and expensive |

Thanks for posting the pics. Euch - the're nowhere near as nicely painted as I had thought. Still a nice find though.

Yeah, I guess up close they're not as hot. A good macro pic is any paintjob's worst nightmare. They do look pretty good in person, and infinitely better than I could do. I wish I could get Willard Wigan to detail my pilots ...  |

I think Vishus has it? ;D ;D ;D Yes....and is still enjoying it! This one seems to have a little better detail and the stubby wing pod things are different....better that the GB one, IMO. These are quite interesting....thanks for sharing, docker  |

I just won the 24 piece set that was on eBay a couple weeks ago. I love the sitting Van and Fiona. They look so cute with the Gustav and it's trailer! Are they really that hard to find? I won mine in the last 15 seconds for $32. I may be getting good at "sniping." The seller was nice; he even included another gashapon that sorta looks like a Z-Knight, so I actually got 25 things.

The z knights were "secret" figures in the sets. If you take a piccie of it i'll identify which one it is for you. |

commandliger, there are 5 Z-Knights released for the Yujin Battle Collection series, each Z-Knight came in Sets 6 to 11. Only the first 2 Z-Knights in Set 6 and 7 have a name, the other 3 are unnamed/unreleased kits in their original Z-Knight forms. I have 3 of these 5 Knights, just need another 2.
What you received is the fella from Set 10, the one with the 24 pieces + 1 secret. That Z-Knight is the one that looks like a Native American version of the Z-Knights.
Docker, great buy. For slightly above 1000 yen, that was a steal. I have been trying to find this particular set for some time, but they re-appear on YJ every now and then.
