Insect like zoids

[henrikb]

Hi all.
This is my first posting.
I love Zoids and collected them as a child. These are all lost now, but I have found many of the kits on the internet.

I also had some kits, I thought was Zoids, but after many hours of search on the internet, I must conclude, that there kits were not zoids. So I hope this forum can help me.

The kits were from the late 80ies. Both kits consisted of three “bugs” which could be connected to a larger robot kind of thing. I remember the second kit was available in the normal version and a version which had some of the parts in silver. i choose the silver version, which was a bad choice because the parts did fit as well as the first kit I had.

Does it ring a bell? I have really tried to find these model kits, but it is really hard to search for “zoids like bugs model kit” :-)

Hello, Henrik,

The bugs don't sound too familiar. I guess you will have to just search based off of any pictures you can find. Once you get a hit, you should be able to find tons of information on the toy line.

I just ran into what you may be referring to in Ebay.King Ohger Guardian has a lady bug on left arm, beetle pinchers on his head, right foot apears to be a mantis, a pill bug weapon and a snail weapon amoung others I see on him. Perhaps this is what you are looking for. I can snag a pic if needed but just search in Ebay for King Ohger and you should find several.
