Zoder's arm snapped off and his spinner shooter stopped functioning. Likewise, Zoark's shooting arm didn't work for very long. Still, they were cool figures.Drive-In Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04397190372871720614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-39640409777324957192011-06-03T11:43:01.341-04:002011-06-03T11:43:01.341-04:00My brother and I had these two when we were kids a...My brother and I had these two when we were kids and boy, did we run 'em through the wringer!<br /><br />Pretty sure the only action they were meant to see was the occasional swat from the cat -- gimme die-cast action toys any day!Creginald Vanderclevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591007080029580071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-67601649989378364012011-05-31T10:27:31.606-04:002011-05-31T10:27:31.606-04:00I had the Zoder when I was a kid!

The store didn't have any but they got me one of these Aliens toys instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578320444186472220noreply@blogger.com
