Reviews

Here's all the Zoids I own as of the last update of this page. Some of them don't have reviews yet, and most don't have photos yet either. Many older reviews, besides being badly written, also mention price/availability info that's long out of date. For now they can count as a way of looking back in time, but I'm working on rewrites. Honest.

Now sorted by era!

Old-school (OJR/OER/OAR/Robostrux)

Marketed with the battle story in Japan and a comic in Europe, these are the original lines. Being 80s toys, this means they're complete with nostalgia power, better plastic, and nasty nasty prices on eBay. In general, these are the releases to buy if you want Zoids at their finest in molding quality and don't care about your credit card.

OJR/OAR

Battle Cougar (restored mostly-OJR)
Deadborder
Dimetrodon
Elephantus
Garius
Giant Zrk "Attack Custom"

Glidoler (mysterious Robo Strux-y variant)
Terox

Semi Old-School (Technozoids, Zoids2)

Technozoids saw light in the US and Canada during the 90s, and featured a lot of unique color schemes, from the blinding to the much loved. Zoids2 were European, though there are Asian variants to the line and a few Technozoids with Zoids2 colors. If you know them, it's likely as "those chrome ones with the weird stickers".

Technozoids

Armored Gator
Battlesaurus
Strike Zilla

Zoids2

Aquazoid
Cruncher
Hellrunner
Raptor
Red Wing
Stego

New Stuff (NJR, NAR, NER, NPR...)

The second heyday of Zoids saw a continued battle story and anime in Japan. The anime hit the US not long after, and with it came Hasbro's line, provider of many unique designs and recolors. They're grouped together here (along with less-successful UK and Pacifc region ports) as there's a lot of overlap between thelines - good luck telling a Japanese and US Liger Zero apart once built!

Even Newer Stuff (Fuzors, Genesis, Etc.)

Many people consider these part of the new Japanese releases - I separate them, as there's no battle story. They featured uniform box designs (Fuzors' are particularly cool) and each Zoid in Fuzors and Genesis carried the same flavor text tailored to tie in with their respective anime series.
