    Description

    PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AND STUDY PHOTOS AS A FEW OF THESE ITEMS ARE ONE OF A KIND MOCK UP TEST SHOT SAMPLES........
    FROM A LOCAL ESTATE......   ALL FROM A GENTLE MAN NAMED NORMAN COHEN.....
    I FOUND OUT VIA INTERNET SEARCH THAT NORMAN COHEN WAS A STAFF ARTIST FOR THE IDEAL TOY COMPANY....1960's ERA
    THIS LOT ALL CAME FROM HIS ESTATE......YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND LIKELY FIND OUT MORE DETAILED INFO THEN I DID
    THERE ARE 2 IDEAL ZEROID  ZOGG ROBOTS.... IN 2 DIFFERENT STYLE HAND ASSEMBLED/MOCKED UP PACKAGING......  YOU CAN SEE THE CARDBOARD AND ARTWORK WAS MOSTLY MADE FROM SCRATCH BY NORMAN.....HAND PAINTED FEATURES,  .....CUT OUT / GLUED ASSEMBLED.....  LOT OF SMALL DETAILS .....AMAZING WORK.   LOOKS LIKE HE SUBMITTED 2 STYLE OF PACKAGING FOR THE SAME FIGURE.....LOTS OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 2.
    I AM NOT A ZEROID FAN OR COLLECTOR SO IF YOU ARE THEN YOU ALREADY KNOW MORE ABOUT THE FIGURE ZOGG THEN I DO.  YOU WILL ALSO KNOW IF EITHER STYLE PACKAGING ENDED UP BEING USED FOR RETAIL PRODUCTION....   FROM ONLINE PHOTOS  THE FIGURE ITSELF LOOKS THE SAME ....
    BUT AS MENTIONED I CANNOT SAY FOR CERTAIN IF THE FIGURES THEMSELVES ARE STANDARD RETAIL PRODUCTION OR PROTOTYPES THEMSELVES....IF ANYONE HAS SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON HOW TO TELL IF FIGURES ARE DIFFERENT JUST LET ME KNOW AND I WILL PROVIDE MORE INFO OR PHOTOS...
    SINCE THE BOXES ARE HAND ASSEMBLED I NEVER OPENED THEM UP TO TOUCH/EXAMINE THE FIGURES....BUT I WILL IF NECESSARY....  THE GLUE USED LOOK LIKE BROWN JELLY TYPE FROM WHEN I WAS A KID LOL   I FORGET WHAT IT WAS CALLED...... SOME OF THE GLUE HAS DRIED UP ON PANELS/PIECES YOU CAN SEE IN SOME OF THE PHOTOS.....SOME ARE LOOSE....I THINK ONE PIECE ON THE FRONT OF ONE IS MISSING AS YOU CAN SEE THE OLD GLUE REMAINS
    THE LOT WILL ALSO INCLUDE 2 "THUNDER STREAK "  ORIGINAL BOXES -  ONE BEING A PARTIAL MOCK UP BOX WITH HAND PAINTED FRONT ARTWORK AND LETTERING GLUED ON ......YOU CAN SEE SOME LETTERS ARE LONG GONE.....
    THERE IS ALSO SOME PENCIL WRITTEN PATENT INFO.    I DID NOT RESEARCH IT TO CONFIRM THOSE NUMBERS.....
    THERE IS ANOTHER THUNDERSTREAK EMPTY BOX IN REALLY NICE CONDITION AND I AM ASSUMING IT IS STANDARD PRODUCTION.....
    LASTLY YOU GET SOME OTHER TYPE OF MOCK UP KITCHEN SCENE THAT HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE ALL HAND DRAWN AND CUT OUT PIECES....I AM NOT CERTAIN IF THIS WENT TO A TOY LINE OR NOT....IF I GET INFO FROM ANY FRIENDLY EBAYER'S I WILL ADD/UPDATE INFO
    THE BACK OF THE KITCHEN SCENE WAS  SIGNED BY NORMAN COHEN
    THIS LOT IS 100% AUTHENTIC...LIKELY OVER 50 YEARS OLD .... AND ALL FOUND TOGETHER SO AM INCLUDING IT ALL AS SHOWN....
    IF THERE IS NO INTEREST AS A LOT I WILL CONSIDER RE-LISTING ITEMS  IN SEPARATE LISTINGS.
