1978 Arkron Ark Black King Alloy Metal Space Robot Boxed - Celebrating Japanese heavy die-cast manufacturing, this rare Arkron alloy metal interchangeable Space Robot set brings the iconic character Black King to life under Stock No. 45036. Manufactured in Japan by Ark Co. Ltd. and exclusively distributed in the United States by Marukai Trading Co., the impressive mechanical figure features a vibrant metallic finish, molded blue chassis plating, and bright chrome claw hands, chest grilles, and eye lenses. Safely nestled within its original custom-molded styrofoam packaging tray, the modular set includes an extensive assortment of interchangeable tank treads, limb segments, and weapon modules. Thorough catalog inspection indicates that two small plastic missiles are missing, and the internal plastic waist assembly exhibits typical period-specific fatigue with two broken retaining fingers; however, the figure remains structurally displayable when arranged upright. The original bilingual illustrated window box is also included and remains beautifully preserved overall. The robot measures approximately 8.5” H, and the box measures approximately 6.5” L x 2.5” W x 8.5” H. Condition: GOOD
