Space Challenger - Robot Changers
Originally designed by Takatoku in Japan for their Super Dimension Century Orgus line and sold as a 'Gerwalk Nikick'', the model was later licensed to the Japanese company MARK.
MARK in turn distributed this figure via Select in the United States, Canada and Australia (and likely other regions) as the Convertors Maladroid, 'Sunkak'.
MARK also released Sunyak for their Robot Changers line sold in Europe renamed to 'Space Challenger'.
See main Convertors & Robot Changers index page for more details.
