Greetings,
They call me WIKD, I am a published Artist, Father of Three Beautiful Daughters, Husband of the most Beautiful and Understanding Woman in the world, prop designer, former Ouija board Artesian, and Zoid collector.
My Zoidian interests range from Zoids to Technozoids, Zoids 2 to the Original Japanese Release Zoids. Blox Zoids to Power Zoids, Yuji Kaida Zoids to Leo Shop Chrome Zoids, Dark Zoids...well you get the idea. This site is dedicated to my collection, and here is a little back story to bring you up to speed:
When I was a child, around 8 years of age, I distinctly remember asking
for assistance with massive amounts of oddly shaped plastic
pieces that would eventually form a wicked looking functional robotic dinosaur figure. Between
chewing on the rubber caps and occasionally losing pieces here and there the
small collection was eventually lost in childhood abyss.
Many years later, now married, and with a beautiful wife and three amazing
daughters I found myself walking down the aisles of a "Toys R Us"
looking for something special for my little girl. Out of the corner of my eye I
saw something sitting on the clearance shelf. Upon further inspection I found
myself gazing upon a familiar sight a "Zoid". Memories rushed back
into my mind and I was ecstatic about my discovery. I quickly placed the box in
my cart, receiving an odd look from my wife.
On the drive home, I happily explained my discovery. Zoids, to me, have brought
back countless childhood memories that were quite beautiful. Now between being a
Father myself, a Husband, and a full time Artist I collect these magnificent
engine driven plastic wonders. This is the second incarnation of my site
formally known as Zoidstrader.com.
Over the last few years I have enjoyed building one of the largest Zoid collections on Planet Earth, and I see nothing stopping me from moving further. Lately, my focus has been on acquiring prototypes. I am proud to own an entire set of NJR Zoids, and I am forever working on a publication about Zoids.
