Sky Racer - Zybots

Zybots II

Sky Racer was created by REMCO for the Zybots toy line and released under the title, 'Zybots II'.

This three model series focused heavily on each toy having a gimmick to help capture buyer interest.

Sky Racer was packaged with a thin, plastic parachute that can be attached to two small hooks on the robot's hands. In principle the idea of a parachuting robot that turns into a sports car is great. Unfortunately every part of Sky Racer's design lets it down as a good toy. The parachute stings are only held on by small, adhesive tabs, the hand hooks break off easily and the entire robot is made of very brittle plastic. It's no surprise very few loose examples are found intact.
