Only saw these the one time and grabbed all I saw. Fortunately these are all castings I collect. I've considered trying to "de-Zing" these, as much for ease of storage, but with these being so scarce I've left them alone.

Since all three castings date no later than the TYCO period, and disappeared after the Mattel takeover, I'm guessing these date to the mid-1990s at the lastest...which predates both JL Zingers and Muscle Machines CarToons. You can press down on the body which loads the "motor" and these go much like a pull back action.

I don't think I would have got any of these had I seen them in stores in those days, maybe one as an example though, but it is cool that you have a number of them in the collection, I've never seen them before.
