King Zarkon - Voltron

After watching the new Netflix Voltron series I got thinking about this King Zarkon figure I picked up at a toy show not to long ago. As a kid I had a really nice die-cast Voltron and Hunk from the Panosh Place toy line. I've been slowly picking up the other figures from that line including the Pilots and a few bag guys. I'd really like the get the Castle of Lions some day.

King Zarkon is a pretty basic figure. He's very similar to the Emperor from the vintage Star Wars line. He has a swivel at the neck and both shoulders. Zarkon can bend at the waist and each of his legs are molded to look like half his robe.

Zarkon is a decent figure for the early 80's but by today's standards his sculpt is really lacking in details. He does have pretty decent paint applications with the details on his torso.
