Snaliens/Z-Bots

[Mike P]

Anyone remember Snaliens and Z-Bots? I collected them in the mid-nineties, and I thought they were pretty cool.

The Snaliens were little humanoid painted rubber figures that came with plastic body armor, a rubber shell, and a little hard rubber snail guy. Their enemies were a race of tick-like things, with basically the same concept except with ticks instead of snails. For some reason, they still came with the snail shell. I won some because I fucked up in one of those phone-in contests.

The Z-Bots were made by one of those toy car companies (Micro Machines, I think) and were a bunch of little armed posable robots that came with vehicles and little backstories.
