Two vintage Mech.-Gorilla Arkon Space Robot action figures, Stock No. 43484, manufactured by ARK Co., Ltd. in Tokyo, Japan. These figures were exclusively distributed in the United States by Marukai Trading Co. of Carson, California. Constructed from a combination of alloy metal and plastic, these die-cast robots are part of the Arkron series, noted for their interchangeable parts that allow collectors to reconfigure components across different models in the line as illustrated on the reverse of the packaging. The figures feature mechanical play elements, including a missile-firing mechanism and a spring-loaded sword feature. One example includes an orange plastic accessory labeled 05 and ARK secured to the front of the packaging. One box retains a vintage retail price tag of $150.00 from Children of Paradise. Boxes measure approximately 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches.

Condition: Figures remain housed in their original protective styrofoam inserts. The red retail packaging exhibits significant age-related wear, including heavy creasing, edge scuffing, and visible tears to the cardboard flaps and window areas. One box has an orange accessory taped to the exterior. While the primary figures appear intact, the completeness of small internal accessories such as missiles or swords is not fully verified.
