The 1987 Tonka Spin Shot Mobile Artillery Backpack was a standalone accessory set that allowed collectors and kids to upgrade any 7-inch Spiral Zone Zone Rider or Black Widow figure with additional heavy firepower. Sold separately from the figures, it was part of Tonka’s specialized equipment assortment.

The centerpiece is a gray plastic artillery backpack featuring a rotating projectile-launching mechanism. Its modular design attaches to the figure’s back and provides a distinctive mobile artillery weapon system that fits the military-tech theme of the Spiral Zone toy line. The original carded set included the Spin Shot artillery backpack, a supply of compatible plastic projectiles, and a Top Secret Tech File containing fictional technical information and weapon specifications.

The Spin Shot Mobile Artillery Backpack is a desirable accessory for vintage Spiral Zone collectors, particularly because it was sold separately from the main action figures and vehicles. Complete examples should include the backpack, original ammunition, and Top Secret Tech File. Loose projectiles are especially easy to lose, making a complete set considerably harder to find.
