I love Ark vinyl.

Metyagojira, is this Kaiju from Thundermark or Silver Kamen?

I have complete set of Ark Magma Taishi vinyls and I need 1 more kaiju to have complete set of Ark Zone Fighter kaiiju.

Can somebody educate us regarding Ark? It is a name that this grasshopper is not familiar with.

Thanks!

Almost all Ark figures are usually really nice, yet still inexpensive kaiju (I said MOST), my favorite are the Magma Taishi "Orange" (company name) figures. Really amazing paint, some of the best ever.

Metyagojira,

why is Orange planning company for Ark? what does planning company do in toy making process?

Before you wrote in this thread, I thought Orange was only toy maker of these Magmai Tashi and Zone Fighter kaiju vinyls...

because the vinyl figure has Orange symbol on the bottom of the foot.
But the header card does says Ark.

can you explain?

PS- I will go take photo now...

According to some books about vinyl kaiju, I got to a conclusion that Orange was making production planning, then, with that plan, Ark was manufacturing kaiju toys.
In this weekend, I will get a Zone kaiju(Warugiruger)by Orange.
I think I can check its header card!
It's interesting for me to solve this riddle about Orange and Ark... :lol:

The Zone Fighter kaiju are on the left with the Magma Taishi vinyls on the right, in the back. Magma Taishi is known as "The Space Giants" in America and the main hero robot is called "Goldar" (yellow robot with long hair and antennae). The show aired on TBS (owned by Ted Turner broadcasting) in the mid-1970s and early 1980s.

I do not know the maker of the kaiju in the center of the photo. I think the monster is from Silver Kamen or Thunder Mask.
