Limbo Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Some of the mecha designs are really nice. I would love to have a big Anubis sitting on my desktop. I've seen toy based on games, including Metal Gear and Onimusha hitting even US markets, but I can't find info on ZOE toys anywhere... Does anybody knows anything about ZOE toys ? Quote
Druna Skass Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I've been lookinf for some since the first one came out and nada... Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Haven't heard of any ZOE figures except for the Kaiyodo resin Jehuty that was released a while back: Quote

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) Haven't heard of any ZOE figures except for the Kaiyodo resin Jehuty that was released a while back: Whoa, when did that come out? Can't say for sure, I'm guessing shortly after the first game came out. HLJ used to stock it, but had long since run out when I got to it. Here is the listing: Jehuty It's a full action kit too! Note the dreaded jolly roger of discontinued stock Edited February 3, 2004 by Valkyrie Hunter D Quote
Limbo Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 Quite expensive too... $121.09 for resin kit a little more than 6 inches tall that still needs painting and assembling?!?! Are this people crazy? Quote
Vostok 7 Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 ZOE toys are a no go... I'm not sure why. I mean, every other robot will get a toy except ZOE? Maybe it's the questionable "cock pit" location... Vostok 7 Quote
EXO Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 They're a no go because they ugly... it looks more like crappy armor than it does a mech. Murakumo had nicely designed mechs. Crappy gameplay though. Quote

Gaijin Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I too, had hoped there would be ZOE stuff that came out. Too bad nothing's out there. Quote
Limbo Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 I'm almost sure I saw a picture of Ken Marinaris' Ardjet mecha on the Wonder Festival Winter 2003 coverage... It was a single shot showing part of the figure. I was trying to find the picture but the page is down. :/ Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 i want a 1/1 model of this... Quote
Druna Skass Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 i want a 1/1 model of this... Hmm, I don't know... I've always liked how Viola looked in the Idolo anime. Quote

It was a single shot showing part of the figure. I was trying to find the picture but the page is down. :/ That would be cool. I seriously wonder why there aren't ZOE stuff out there...there is so much potential with all the different Orbital Frames and LEV's...having that transforming Vic Viper LEV would be cool too. Quote
Limbo Posted February 10, 2004 Author Posted February 10, 2004 I was playing ZOE yesterday... I'm sure the biggest problem is with the COCKpit... Even the girl mechas have a big d... on it! I don't know if I would have the guts to put an aroused mecha on my desktop at work Quote
Bloodcat Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 The only ZOE game I liked was the GBA game.. And putting the cockpit there makes sense. Its more shielded and protected from enemy fire than most mecha, which make it all nice easy to destroy headshots, or in the main body, which as anyone who has ever fired a gun would know, is going to take a LOT of fire since its the center of mass and MUCH easier to hit. Crotch cockpits would work better. Aiming for it means if you miss you are probably gonna miss hitting the machine entirely unless the thing is moving "downwards" from you, and the legs provide extra cover, increasing pilot survivability. Most likely, the mechs are gonna be destroyed from upper body damage, giving the highly trained pilot a chance to escape the burning wreck and come back to fight another day... Quote
BFG-1 Gigan Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Really there was an anubis Kit that they released with a special edition of Second Runner, along wiht some other stuff. I mean Doloris/Isis, Jehuty, Anubis, Vic Viper, and such are really nice mechs, prehaps the T.V. series needs to catch on a bit though, ADV could show their wares on cable. Dolores I is certainly an excelent series, and the games are done well too... Quote
