Hah! I managed to amass a large collection of Zoids in the 80s and had this fella. Very nicely done, just perfect really, and an excellent idea for a MOC subject!

Yay Zoids! They were my 3rd favourite toy (after Lego and Transformers) and I remember this one well. Great rendition!

Wow, I did not know there was a zoid like that! Maybe its because Zoids was before my time. I don't know as many things as other fans do, but I like it.

So Cool. The part placment is excellent on this. Very Alien-esc.

great likeness

this was the second zoid I bought way back in 1984, and still one of my favourites. You have certainly captured the feel of the design.

since micronauts / microchange is one of the toylines that spawned what we no in north america as transfomers it may be a subject matter for the future I have contemplated it before but still have a list of projects to do first! you never know!

I found them quite interesting subject matter for Lego building. I'm thinking about checking out some Micronauts too, perhaps a build of Giant Acroyear http://www.microforever.com/giantacroyear.htm - I thought that might interest you as a project.

Let me rephrase, inverting the claws was clearly a carefully thought out design vision to improve on the original toy - and if you believe that...

Glad you enjoyed it; this was a pure nostalgia build for me too.

I added one more photo wIth the claws the right way round.

Impressive!

ah zoids that brings me back

I like this because it's a nice MOC and I also had this zoid when I was a kid and it brought back memories.

He's cool. (Shh, I'll let you on to a secret. I did the same thing with my latest build... worked around it by saying he had a dislocated shoulder!) Hee, hee! :)

Very retro and space-age-y. =)

Whoa...wierd but cool! Awesome, David!

Nice work getting the right shape and details! Even if the claw is inverted, it still looks cool! I can imagine how the cups must of looked and they sure do fit with the original toy! Well done!

Great job! The arms and tail are particularly cool!

...Oh yeah, but it still looks good though. I did the same thing with my latest, it is very frustrating when you notice something after your photo shoot.

Thanks. Just realised I have inverted his claws. He was dropped just before photograhing him; I must have rebuilt in error.

Cool! I remember these. Very accurate and poseable. can't wait to see your micro space city
