Ark toys are a hallmark of complex toy engineering and were imagined as a interchangeable series of toys. Based on 5mm nylon pegs and a myriad of engineering experiment-like parts, similar to the more technical large scale lego components. The toys can interact and exchange parts, both diecast metal, plastic and the notoriously delicate nylon connectors. You can create very unique toys by combining or removing pieces.
