Chindenathus Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Anyone Know The Mecha Designer(s) For Spiral Zone? Is it Makoto Kobayashi? This question caught me off guard enough to get soda in my nose. Try the proprietor of this site: http://www.spiral-zone.com/ Mark knows a lot of stuff on the topic.
drifand Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Here is a pretty cool thread on TBDX, with scans of some prototype/unproduced designs. Also mentions some of the illustrators/designers involved: http://toyboxst.inwards.com/phorum/read.php?4,146094,page=1
etmcneal Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Anyone Know The Mecha Designer(s) For Spiral Zone? Is it Makoto Kobayashi? Hey all, First time posting here, I think....anyway, I'm the nut with the scans from the thread that Drifand posted. I haven't run across much that ties Makoto Kobayashi to Spiral Zone except an article showcasing a full-scratch model of his in an early issue of B-Club. It's not exactly one of the produced toys from the main toyline...it's a "real world" version of the Iron Duck walker/vehicle that was eventually made as part of the SD Spiral Zone candy toy line, Spazon Club. Hard to say definitively that it's his design but I think it's likely... There could be more, though...Both he and Kow Yokoyama did Spiral Zone related articles for B-Club. I have a pretty complete run of the early B-club issues, but I've only seen that one article with Kobayashi's work. Kow's was actually a serialized story illustrated with photos of his models, a weird mishmash of Spiral Zone, medieval fantasy, and post-apocalyptic themes. Crazy stuff.....
