Zoids Mechabonica - MIB - £200

Before there were Zoids there was Mechabonica. A short lived line of unassuming prehistoric robot toys. None would have guessed that they heralded the Cambrian explosion that was to follow. This is the complete set of three: all MIB and complete with sticker sheets and manuals. Fantastic artwork depicts our messengers to the space hovering above bizarre interstellar facilities - could this be the first glimpse of planet Zoidstar!? In these protean model kits we have the undiluted essence of Zoids.

Zoids Starzeta - MIB - Display Only

Starzeta were released under official license by Tomy for a brief period in Spain during the early eighties (concurrently with Mechabonica in Japan). Together they make up the diminutive category of pre-Zoids. Neither series was particularly successful, but when re-released as Zoids proper two years later they would go on to become one of the most important toylines in history. Both are difficult to acquire and this is a complete set of all three models in the series, unmade and mint in box. They feature subtly different colour schemes and stickers to the regular Mechabonica / Zoids releases. A rare and unusual centrepiece to any Zoids collection!
