MULTIMAC, Anybody collect them?

[Hudasa21]

This was a great line from the late 80s or early 90s, I don't have much information about them, but I remember that when I was a kid I had at least 3 of them, I loved this line. Sadly, now I only have few parts and accesories, I would like to collect them again but they are pretty difficult to find. Any of you collect this line?

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

you know i had some these. i couldnt for the life of me remember what they were called. i considered them knock off starriors. know i know their name thanks

[Hudasa21]

I see that you are the only one who knows about this line, check this link out :

are Multimac a Zoids knock off? what do you think, I don't know much about Zoids...

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

i would go with that since starriors are a side line from zoids. but it's still a fine line on it's own.

Came across this set recently

Silverlit was the company responsible for Multimac. The line was a definite ripoff of a Tomy series called SCITEX in Japan and ‘TOMICS in the United States. Tomy produced a number of other lines that had the same technological look and scale, including ZOIDS, STARRIORS, R.A.T.S., TRIBOTS and Z KNIGHT. It’s easy to get the various series confused, especially since Tomy used many of the same components across the lines. For example, the same sculpt was used for the pilots in almost all of the vehicles and robots.

Even though Silverlit created many new components for their Multimac line, many of the basic pieces are straight Tomy copies. However, they are of a very high quality, so Multimac parts can be seamlessly integrated with the Tomy stuff.

Thanks for the info starrunn2. If I remember correctly, later Simba came in and produced massively bright colored sets of previous Multimac.

My question is that there are several well-sculpted figures on the packages but I hadn't seen any of those released with Multimac vehicles. Where are they from?

I didn't know from Multimac two days ago...
but recently picked up a few parts (and a ton of pilots, the yellow pharoah ones). All I knew was that these were interchangeable and marked 'SL'. With that bare knowledge I went-a-googling, it's scary how adept you can become at identifying toys on search engines armed with only two initials.
Found two interesting sites;

While they're not really my thing, I guess they 'play' nicely, and will display as a bit of a novelty next to my few Zoids and two Gundams.

I rememeber those minifigures, we've had a bootleg line of these a few year back in Germany. Too bad I don't have pics but they were single carded space ships or whatever plus these figs.

[alfi]

Here's a pic of one of those sets. When I think about it, it might be more of a M.A.N.T.A. Force Knock Off. IDK

[kakugo]

I just find this two véhicles with two variant color. It is the ancestors of the Manta Force toy line (same character)

Not sure how the Galaxy toys tied to the Multimac ones, but they used many parts too:

Hudasa21, you really should post more than once every 3 1/2 years or so.

Nice to hear that!

Has anyone seen any other sets from the multimac knock off / bootleg lines ( an example being the Fun Line Remus MOC item Alfi has pictured)?

[ucsf]

Recently found on ebay some interesting versions. Never knew there was a Contructions Team series, with rather new base vehicle bases, and well-known accessories, like the driller, laser gun, etc parts.And they were sold with at least two figures, which was always a bit let down for me, when I had only one figure per vehicle.

[mhall]

Got a job lot of multimac/galaxy toys, marked SL. About 5 veichals complete ,drillers, cranes so on. Any know there value?

[ucsf]

Just check them on eBay at sold listings. That might help building up what your asking prices should look like.
