Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Black Ox and what anime is he from?
Black Ox is the main antagonist mecha in Tetsujin 28-go (1956 manga, 1963 anime — known internationally as Gigantor). Built by Professor Franken von Vogler as a weapon of destruction, Black Ox serves as Tetsujin 28-go's greatest rival throughout the series. The 1963 anime is historically significant as the first giant-robot anime ever made, predating Mazinger Z and Mobile Suit Gundam.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes — MODEROID kits are specifically designed for builders who want a great result without the complexity of traditional Gunpla. The snap-fit design means no glue, no tools, and no painting required. Pre-coloured runners handle all the colour separation for you.
How long does assembly take?
Most builders complete Black Ox in 1–2 hours. There are no complex subassemblies — the kit is laid out to build intuitively, with the guide using clear pictograms accessible even without Japanese reading ability.
How does it pair with the MAFEX Tetsujin 28-go?
The MODEROID Black Ox (16.5cm) and MAFEX Tetsujin 28-go B&W (20cm) are near-matching in scale and are designed to be displayed as a rivalry pair. Displaying them face-to-face recreates the central showdown of the Tetsujin 28-go story.
