Zeroids
The Zeroids were a line of toy robots and accessories, ostensibly from the planet Zero, first produced by the Ideal Toy Company in 1967. The initial release featured four different robots: Zerak, Zobor, and Zintar, could be bought separately or packaged with either a Solar Cycle or in an Action Set. These three Zeroids came packaged in plastic containers which became a vehicle or mini-playset for use by the robot.
The fourth Zeroid, Zogg (the leader) could initially be bought in an Action Set only (although later he could be found carded or boxed). In 1970, Ideal added the Alien Zeroid with Exploding Chest. At this time Ideal changed the packaging to a header card format (the new packaging featured updated graphics and colors, and many more could be shipped in a smaller case), and offered the accessories as separate boxed items: the Sensor Station and the Zeroid Missile Defense Pad. The Zem XXI Zeroid Explorer Module was also added as an accompanying vehicle to the Zeroid line. Shortly after this (probably when sales began to flag), Ideal marketed the separate Zeroids simply as 'Robots' in small white window boxes or as 'Zerak Robots'; these were found in Kreske's department stores.
At some point, Zogg was offered in the same boxed format as the original three robots (with the addition of the Lazer). Towards the end to the line, Ideal kit-bashed the three robots to produce the Zemo robot, now found in Red or Turquoise (the rarest of the Zeroids and not part of their initial development).
