Z-Knights

Z-Knights

Z-Knights were a series of toy model kits designed and produced by Japanese toy company TOMY (now Takara-Tomy). Each model was designed in 1/72 scale and had features that would activate once the kit was fitted with a battery and turned on. The models are very similar in design and construction to another of Tomy's lines, Zoids, and although the two series are not officially linked many collectors consider Z-Knights to be a sub line of the popular Zoids franchise.

Z-Knights went on sale in Japan during the early 90s. There were 3 distinct sizes of model and each encorporated easy construction (rubber bolts and clips hold parts together so that no glue is required), motorised movement/walking and decals to apply once the model is complete. The four largest Z-Knights (Z-Knight, Great Z-Knight, Marinekaizer and Gilga) also had a pilot.

The line proved fairly successful and 22 models were produced (including several limited editions). A selection of models were also recoloured and released in Europe.
