YOU ARE PURCHASING A 1962 IDEAL KING ZOR DINOSAUR IN EXCELLENT COSMETIC AND WORKING CONDITION. THIS TOY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RESTORED INSIDE AND OUT. THE BODY OF THIS TOY IS IN GREAT SHAPE.
THE INNER MECHANISM HAS BEEN CLEANED, OILED AND ADJUSTED TO WORK EXACTLY AS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED. JUST A NOTE OF INFO HERE. ACTUALLY THE TRUTH IS THAT MOST OF THESE ARE STUCK IN ATTACK MODE, CONTINUALLY BACKING UP AND FIRING MISSILES. KING ZOR WAS DESIGNED TO HAVE 3 MODES. INITIALLY WITHOUT THE TAIL ENGAGED HE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD (CIRCLING) QUIETLY.ONCE THE TAIL IS HIT HE WILL BEGIN ROARING (MOUTH OPENING AND CLOSING) AND BACKING UP AND TURNING TO FIRE AT YOU. THE USUALLY MISSING KEY IS THAT AFTER FIRING HE IS SUPPOSED TO RETURN TO PASSIVE MODE AND BEGIN MOVING FORWARD AGAIN. BE AWARE THAT MOST OF THESE DON'T DO THAT. I HAVE SPENT MANY FRUSTRATING HOURS TINKERING WITH THESE MECHANISMS GETTING THEM TO PERFORM AS DESIGNED. THE LAST FUNCTION INVOLVES HIM BUMPING INTO SOMETHING.
WHEN THE TONGUE IS PRESSED ON HE WILL ALSO MOVE INTO A SEMI ATTACK MODE WHERE HE BACKS UP, ROARS AND REVERSES DIRECTION BUT DOESN'T FIRE A MISSILE. JUST TURNS AND BEGINS TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN. (THOUGH THEY CAN SOMETIMES MISS ONCE AND A WHILE). THAT CONCLUDES TODAY'S KING ZOR LESSON. ANYWAY, A DESIGN FLAW CAUSES THESE GUYS TO ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE CRACKED LEGS (MOST SIGNIFICANTLY THE LEFT) AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION TO THAT RULE.
ALSO INCLUDED IS A WORKING DART GUN WITH 1 ORIGINAL DART, 3 ORIGINAL BALLS AND A COPY OF THE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS. I TOOK LOTS OF PHOTOS WHICH I FEEL SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
