Along with the other Zoids 2 of mine to restore, I did some changes to my ZOids 2 Ultrasaurus. chrome paint pilots!! though the stickers for the legs were non sticky, they were all there and sticked them with Super glue. I may not be pure Zoids 2, but I AM ZOIDS 2 at heart! Less go crush'em!

What I feel good about this is that this was my toy before. 7 years ago. What's good is that he's back in one piece even though not all of his parts are from Zoids 2.

My dad gave me this in 6th grade when I won a Quiz bee. Since I'm a whiz kid years ago I can always name my prize to my dad, then win the quiz bee and get my price.
And this is my biggest zoid. The last Zoids 2 zoid I acquired. These may still have monetary value today, but the kiddie memories of these zoids, reviving them, and seeing them reign in my collection are something can't be bought by money.

I think so. It feels so good to see my old play buddies back even if they're not the same pure zoids 2 as before.
check out my other restoration projects too, thanks!

Idea for cleaning.
Do you have a dish-washer? Turn off the drying cycle and try running the most crusty parts through a cycle. Be sure to secure them in place with twist-ties or tie-wraps otherwise you'll have problems.
BE SURE TO TURN OFF THE DRY SETTING because it WILL heat the inside of the dishwasher above the distortion temp of PS.

99% complete, still needs around 9-10 caps. You can see the faded body and gun stickers. The leg armor on front is still NJR but the inner parts are Zoids 2. I wanted to use the Zoids 2 leg armor but it has already faded, so I decided to stick with the NJR leg armor since it's not really a difference if compared with a Zoids 2 leg armor (check out the rear leg armor, that's a Zoids 2 one) I also managed to get 7 out of 8 Zoids 2 pilots from the Zoids 2 US I got, it was missing half of the radar station in the neck, so the pilot was gone too.

Nice work. :-)
I don't think the body is faded, it's that weird sort of yellowy-beige colour right out of the box.

Now I feel even better, makes me wanna get other Ultrasaurus variants. Oh and after the big restoration work, I now have a gigantic custom fodder for some serious project.

I partially restored him (1st page) but then as I was browsing through a local toy forum (was looking for a Gojulas being sold by clowz) and as I looked in the sale thread I saw clowz selling a Zoids 2 Ultrasaurus so I decided to deal with it. It got me with quite a price, but then it's worth it coz it's now better looking with all the Zoids 2 colors than the one with Zoids 2+NJR colors. Besides that, I can make my own Ultrasaurus custom.

I'm not sure if this is reviviing a topic, but if it is whoops! Thats great kamadoma, the zoids 2 colors look really great, the red cockpit colors look really great making it look more menacing.
