    No, unfortunately these aren't mine (my Evel K rocket thing was lost long ago to a mother on a cleaning spree). It's been a while since I've seen them in person, but from what I remember they seem to be the same dimensions basically, except for the cockpit. The Star Team version slid the seat backwards and plugged up the space that Evel would have been sitting in.

      I'm a fan of this line and have thought many times about trying to get the set I had as a child back for my collection. I received my originals for Christmas back before Star Wars toys were released. I wanted the Star Wars Early Bird set, but my parents saw these and thought they were close enough, plus they wouldn't be giving me an empty box. I remember at first thinking these were cheesy, but that lasted all of a few minutes as I got to playing with them.

      I had a Zem 21, a Blue Zeroid, Knight of Darkness, and a Star Hawk. I knew they were knock offs, but I loved these toys.

          I am a big fan of this line and was lucky to find Kent and his Cruiser. I threw together a quick article with some pics. What a great cheesy ball knockoff. Love it.

                  wow, great cruiser.
                  I keep hoping to find one of those in an EK lot, but I never even see the canyon jumper.

                  For now, my Kent has to walk.

                  thanks for the pic

                    Poor Kent. Maybe you can shove him into the Star Hawk. Though he might be a bit cramped.

                        I know this is an ancient thread, but I'm new here and wanted to say hello with a pertinent recent acquirement.

                        From the far off future of 1978:

                          I loved mine when I was a kid. I have been working on 8" versions for awhile.

                            I have the Darth Vader guy, sans gun. I'd like to get a minty Vader guy. And I also have the C3PO with green alien head figure. I've been contemplating collecting some of the Zeroids..
                            I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.
