RETRO-WED: ZICA TOYS SECTAURS 4 INCH TOY LINE AND WHY THEY ENDED! WILL NACELLE SUCCEED?

[@ZOMb2010]

I finally caved and got the last three available...I could not justify their s/h to CANADA so waited till I could ship to a USA Contact.. 5.00 each .. yes ..awesome figure's.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I should have gotten them when BBTS had them would have been cheaper than Trolling the secondary market these days

[@enyawd1977]

I started collecting three different toylines from ZICA and all three were abandoned by them after releasing just a handful of figures. I'll never get burned by them again. As a company, they suck.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

That does make it hard for them to give confidence on future lines. I wish they would have at least gotten out wave 2 since they had the designs

[@enyawd1977]

@@tydiriumhanger1320 It really does. They first offered and 8-inch Buck Rogers line but never made it past the first two figures. Then it was a 3.75-inch Six Million Dollar Man line, canceled after three figures, then Sectaurs. They never finish what they start.

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

at least a six inch scale & bulk muscles

[@charlesschultz5366]

Great 1:18 scale line that I collected hard.; so disappointed about series 2, I reaaaally wanted that SKULK figure.

[@texasbeast239]

The quality of the OG figures was impressive compared to MOTU, but I just didn't feel any desire to learn a new storyline and set of character lore when these came out. I already had my passionate fandoms deeply ingrained for MOTU, TF, and Robotech, and I just see any reason to be distracted away from them. My little brothers were totally down with the neverending wave of new toys that came out in the '80s, though. Every flashy new toy commmercial and TV cartoon reeled them in, hook, line, and sinker.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I am with you on trying to stick with 2 or 3 toy lines and avoiding the temptation of all the other lines back then

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

MATELShould came in Buy the company Out with calico toys the Sectaurs wood of been join with MOTU line in the story the Scale wood be the same like The revelation heMan Line Zica should kept them A little bigger

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

@@tydiriumhanger1320 Sectaurs Were to high prize At least MOTU rocks they Are survivers

[@naturalnatemarvel9594]

I remember getting the original figures. Had the figures in the original and all black outfits with flying bug. Brought back memories

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

The original figures look amazing and actually scale well with modern figures. Coleco had to work hard to even get any attention with this great line

[@naturalnatemarvel9594]

@tydiriumhanger1320 Thanks for bringing back X-Mas childhood memories. Your retro Wednesday come through very nostalgic

[@christopherpara6183]

One of the main reasons why the ZICA Toys failed was they put absolutely no effort into advertising their 2nd Kickstarter.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

True I just found them because I was trying to collect the vintage stuff at the time and stumbled across a picture

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I am not a fan of the series but the toys from Zica really looks nice.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I wish I would have been in on all the figures when BBTS had them but I am still sad they never finished wave 2

[@magnumrex]

I had waspax and zak and what I liked about them was they had holsters. The small companion bugs I was never interested in and rarely played with. I'd rather they offer them separately to keep the cost down.

[@RigGeo]

Hey Mike. Hope you good boss. I had the OG Dargon and his bee puppet. I have said to Noel and Ramen toy to do this toy line justice. I have said: Sectaurs, Visionnaires, Jayce and the wheeled Warriors, Rock lords!!! Ta

[@hey_keith]

What turned me off was that they didn't include the insect buddies the original came with for each figure.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Yep that was part of the line and should have been included. I hope Nacelle does not make the same mistake but I hear they have a bigger budget and can take a few more risks

[@eyedestroyeverything9953]

I remember seeing a mountain of the hive play sets when I was a kid and thinking 100$ was so crazy 😂 Same with the flag but ended up getting that one for Christmas one yr

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

WOW I did not know that the HYVE was $100 retail back in the day! It is a big playset

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

there’s no more puppets to Ride

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

they were 7 inches before & expendive The smartest thing if Matel Bought them from Hasbro maby size wood stay the same

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

what’s the reason for change the size back to normal size At least 5 inches or 6 inches in size make. them more Bulky

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

vintage are expensive The puppet S were Ovee kill It wood be better if Matel buye them out But Hasbro got there hands on Sectaurs

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

hasbro chang The scale. they were bigger then this. now Hasbro own them

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

Matel wood of gave it more love

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

Hasbro is good that way

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

Hasbro is about there Gi Joes

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

prize was high & the puppeteer must of want more $$ items wasnt sode individualy if Matel own them they wood be In store s now In The Motu figurs Skale or origind retro play

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

why can’t they go HeMan Revrlation Style or is Hasbro just trying to save Money.

[@WhoTube277]

This looks super disappointing. The originals were so great. I want a reissue of the '85 line or something cooler (if possible). NOT THIS. And it just ain't Sectaurs without the bugs!

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

i don’t like the skale it’s just a new line of Mutant Gi Joes it’s hasbro. & Kenner zica toys i think Matel wood make it another Add on to MOTU otigins. & BraveStar

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

Zica can do better then 4inches why that small

[@benquirobiequiratman4646]

this what The HeMan. figur look in the Skele in size prize was to high for Sectaurs
