Oh yeah, those guys in the Toy Fair shot look like the reps that can sell me some ACTION toys. Who knows more about exciting children's playthings than dumpy middle-aged white guys who look like the cameraman is holding them at gunpoint? Yikes…

I had both of these guys and both broke very easily. 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.

My brother and I had these two when we were kids and boy, did we run 'em through the wringer!

Pretty sure the only action they were meant to see was the occasional swat from the cat -- gimme die-cast action toys any day!

I had the Zoder when I was a kid! Would love to have it again, but I've looked, it's pretty rare. I see these ads in the back of old Warren magazines and it always makes me smile.

Pics like this always crack me up. They're always some older gents in their 70's suits lurking around the toy aisle. I'm sure they have no idea what the hell they are even promoting.

Ha! I had a Zoark!

I remember the night I got him: my parents had gone to a store and I'd asked if they could find me some Mego superhero toys. The store didn't have any but they got me one of these Aliens toys instead.
