Later, a pair of original Zoids, the Power Zoids Tank and Serpent, were created exclusively for the European and North American markets and were never released in Japan. The line was far more successful than Mechabonica, which led TOMY to reintroduce the line in Japan under the new name. TOMY sold the Mechabonica line in the United States and Europe in late 1982, under the name Zoids. The models are incredibly rare (even more so than the Japanese Mechabonica) and demand is boosted even further by their unique color schemes. SZ IV (Garantula), SZ V (Aquadon) and SZ VI (Gorgodos) were supposedly planned as a continuation of the series but their release status is currently unknown. The models were not given names but are listed as Starzeta I, II and III. The same 3 models were released but bizarrely they were given new color schemes grey parts became silver and the dark blue caps became bright blue. Since Tomy had no direct marketing power in Spain during the 80s the models were released under licence by a smaller company (Feber) but unfortunately the line performed even worse than its Japanese counterpart. Starzeta was the Spanish version of the Mechabonica line. The line was not very successful and was quickly dropped by Tomy. Released in 1982, Mechabonica was technically not a Zoids line, but is counted as such by collectors as it consisted of three models that would later be re-released as the first three Zoids (Garius, Elephantus, and Glidoler). This has led to Zoids being made as die-cast figures, highly detailed posing kits, smaller action figures and even PVC figurines. Several companies outside of Takara-Tomy have produced Zoids kits. Between these lines, over 200 different designs have been released, some several times over. There have been a number of different Zoids model lines over the years, both in Japan and other countries.
