Item Description
14.5x16x18" full color photo box. No. 5402. The Omnibot is a programmable memory toy robot originally manufactured by Tomy in the mid-1980s. The name then came to apply to the successful line of robots manufactured by the company. The initial Omnibot was announced with expectations of restoring popular interest in robots, at a time when it was becoming obvious that robots with advanced AI such as R2-D2 were still a long way away. A more advanced version of the Omnibot was called the Omnibot 2000 (see previous lot). With the success of the Omnibots, the Omnibot range quickly expanded. After the video game crash of 1983 and its debilitating effect on the home electronics industry, the Omnibot faded away but it was revived in the early 2000s. This model features include a built in tape deck, alarm clock and rechargeable power cell. It walks, talks and can carry objects. Original retail in the 1980s was around $600. Includes heavily worn original Wards shipping box with labels. Fair. Inner box has lt. aging/wear. Small inward puncture on one side. Still Exc. Contents as sealed.
