Good morning fellow zoiders, I recently, in another thread, told of a new contact I have. This guy has went thru the effort of remaking of several hard to find or obtain items. He has ok'ed me to forward his information. I have just purchased a set of grillgans(a pair of drillgan units) from him. He also has all of the upgrade kits in remakes and the big gun on the back of my dear gunny! But wait! There's more! He even has iceblazer parts! How that for convenience!? He also can do custom chroming. I am very happy to have run into him. He is in discord in the zoids group. His name there is Twotoys. He also has an etsy account as well under the same name. In there since there are fees for him the prices are a bit higher so it is better to go thru discord for those interested! However etsy is convenient so here is that link. www.etsy.com/shop/TwotoysStoreI do hope others are as stoked about this as I am. I can finally get that upgrade piece for my king liger! And replace my broken head gun on my iceblazer. Don't worry I will keep my original pieces. And on his custom chroming I just may have to send off 1 of my 4 gungyrados to be even prettier than it already is! I do hope you fellow zoiders make some purchases from him. The drillgans seem like a deal to me my mib one cost me a whole lot more than the pair I just ordered. In fact I could have bought 4 instead of 2! But please try it out thru discord for a bit of a savings! This has halted my working towards a recreation of them on my own. Why do what is already done?

So after a few more conversations with twotoys I am totally stunned by his works! He will go down in zoiders history right there,and maybe even above, leo shop and mechadios! He tells me,and shows me some of the things he is working on. He can make translucent parts also with uv reactive or glow in the dark. I told him of my dreams of a dark Guylos Empire gungyrados. He said that he can do the wings for me! Whoot! I'm so killer stoked about finding him. He has made a translucent BF! And I've seen his redler wings plus many other items in the works! All this plus a custom chroming of a gungyrados for me too! Maybe a bloody gungyrados to go with my bloody gilvader! I need to send him off pics of the part trees that I want chromed and what colors with a ruler by the side for dimensions for my price quote! I'm gonna be broke for the next few years if he keeps cranking out stuff that I've been dreaming of doing for decades. 2 of my mib gunnys are likely to become parts for my dream projects but I'll have even more cool items in my collection to brag about afterwards! Next talk with him I think I'll mention ghost zoids and their prices! Move him on other cool stuff. I wish that warthog was mine it would go to him for copy and start a line of canceled zoids! He has stopped this old man from tinkering because most of my dream projects he has already done or will do for me. I need more gunny wings! Can never have too many! Anyway that's the update! Please go see him and buy some stuff so he has cash for more projects. I know he's already for my next order and what ever else I plan project wise! This has been a dream come true for me and my decades of collecting zoids! A few more years of collecting will mark 40 years of collecting them for me!

I imagine his pricing would have to be a little on the high side, but if he can make super clean parts he would be worth it!

Go on and search zoids you will find his account in there, also under twotoys. These are actually higher than his normal prices because of etsy fees you will see his transluctnet hmm BF and his newest hmm redler wings and some cockpits. There are also many other of his works in there! But if you, or anyone else, decides to buy from him it is worth the savings to try getting a hold of him thru discord as I have. Example A) grillgans etsy 170 pair discord 140 pair. He did incur a paypal fee so my next order will add it and it's own extra to cover this. His BF just may have to be added to my stuff to down the line his pretty lavender and gold one looks awesome!

TwoToys is great - if you ever want to chat with him directly, he's a pretty active member of the Zoids subreddit discord channel. He lives in Vietnam, and his prices are pretty high, but he makes the coolest stuff. I'd like to own a copy of his clear resin HMM Berserk Fury armor one day.

I am now working with him on a few of my dream projects. The 1st shipment to me is almost ready. After which we'll move on to the next phase of my plans. He is cranking out what is needed to make these come to fruition. Both projects involve Gungyrados naturally. Project 1 is a Guylos Empire Gungyrados. Partical cannon and pusle cannons are completed and in the 1st order. Project 2 will take longer. I intend to have made a matching Bloody Gungyrados to go with my Bloody Gilvader for a set. Also it's partical cannon and pulse cannons are in the order. Those will be in translucent red. However the whole body minus wings will need chromed to match Bloody Gilvader colors as close as possible. Wings will be a darker translucent red than normal ideally. Oh and translucent green uv reactive for the Guylos Empire one. In fact all 10 other normally red pieces will be in the same green. I will be coating the normally chrome pieces of the gunny with candy black to darken the chrome to go with the Guylos theme. We're take all this in phases. But these will be the final goals. I've also prodded him on a few other ideas. I'm told if I wish to commission those he will be happy to help on them as well. Those are way further down the road. However plotting crystal versions of transfighters and possibly some new ghost zoids that actually glow in the dark besides being the semi translucent white. What does fry from futurama say?

Both the parts are chromed from him. He currently is out of stock on them both but will notify me when they are done. I have both on order myself!

The Winglider for King Liger is good, but I'm more looking forward if TwotoysStore can make these parts as chrome.

The Winglider for King Liger is good, but I'm more looking forward if TwotoysStore can make these parts as chrome. If you have the money he has the time is the old saying. But honestly please contact him personally to get an idea of what he can or can not do. I know that he can get things chromed with his contacts. This process goes by dimensions of spures to estimate cost on that portion of it. However the reproduction portion of it if he don't have that part your part must be sent for copy then once copied and everything on the job completed they will be shipped back with the order. In my case a gungyrados mib will be being shipped off to be chromed to match my Bloody Gilvader. While some parts are pre chromed in this case they still need color matching. Plus some parts may need a copying for my other project the Guylos Empire Gungyrados thus changing all red parts to the uv reactive green plus changing the wings as well. So 2 spures for sure are in need of copy for me. Once wing spure is avaliable it will finally solve wing breakage issue for all gunnys. Plus give new color assortment options when both those spures are copied. We have yet to obtain my price quotes yet on that because I'm just a poor working stiff and am doing these projects in phases to smooth out my cost over time. This will get very costly but I have wanted this for so very long! Well actually I've wanted a chromed gunny and a Guylos gunny. It wasn't until obtaining the Bloody Gilvader that I focused on what the color scheme of a chromed out gunny should be. I actually now have 3 chromed out gilvaders so choosing one of them to match was going to be hard.

My Guylos Empire Gungyrados is moving forward. My parts will be here any day now and I just set up the next phase of this project. He is wonderful to work with! He asked for my help on his other dream projects. There are a fww very expensive hard to get zoids he would like to borrow for copying. Since these align with my own dreams it will be done. He is looking fr a line on those ultra rare unrealeased gravity zoids as well. Those who have don't wish to send off thier rare toy in fear of not getting them back. Mine will be a 1 at a time ordeal. Once they deal with him I'm sure their trust will build. I do urge those with these and others to please work with him. He and you both win from a collaboration. I know I am!

Bill, thank you so much. I ordered a Zeeky pulse cannon and some clear red cores for my hyper beam cannons. I know the pulse cannon is unpainted, but that don't confront me none. Pricey, but have you seen what these hen's teeth go for, when you can even find them??? If these are as good as the pictures then I'm mortgaging my soul to get some drillgans with clear red or purple panels. (Back 'em with chrome silver and dunklegrau on top of that 😁) I just hope he doesn't get too buried under orders...

The Winglider for King Liger is good, but I'm more looking forward if TwotoysStore can make these parts as chrome. I have texted extensively with him. He can do anything you wish but needs your pieces to do so. What's difficult here is the copying of the parts requires them off the spures but the chroming works out better and cheaper by the whole spure. So this grouping will be a mixed bag of nuts. Please contact him to get an idea what this will cost. I will tell you this. The 12 pieces of a standard gungyrados, all 12 of the red pieces, plus a set of wings all in custom translucent uv reactive green is costing me a total of 405 usd including shipping. Plus he needs my gungyrados wings to finish the job properly. Since I'm a poor working stiff we have payment plans on all my dreams and they are being done in phases. This could be an option for you. But what I seen were still on the spures and I'm betting you wish them to remain as such. I have a king baron but it is missing those 2 square things that sit on top facing backwards, exhaust tips or cannon ends Idk but those. The rest yeah I can send him everything but them. My ice blazer has a broken head gun and I need a replacement parts on it myself. And those box ends on my king baron too. So it is in my interest as well for them to be remakes of those. I don't know what is up just yet with some of the things he use to sell but now isn't. Ice blazer parts was one of those plus the wing glider was the other. I've been put on hold on those and don't know why yet. Anyway that's all I know for sure right now. Oh and 2 weeks in on waiting for my 1st shipment to me to arrive. That's killing me! Buyee with their two days to mid America once told it was shipped has jaded me!

My 1st parts arrived today. I recieved my 2 drillgan units unassembled in gray. 2 pulse cannons also unassembled in what seemed to be left over color of off white and some green mixed in on some parts and a beige of some kind. Not a big deal as they are to be painted anyway. Then there are my custom ordered parts. Partical cannons, the big gun on my gungyrados. I got them in Translucent uv reactive green and a translucent red. These will go with my custom builds of my gungyrados'. One Guylos Empire and one Bloody Gungyrados to match in colors and theme of my newest member my Bloody Gilvader. Each will sport these custom guns. And even the cylinder that spins in the pulse cannon below will sport these custom colors to match those themes. Anyway very happy working with him thus far. I am just getting started and finally making headway on these dreams!.
