Item Description
13” tall by Marx/Yonezawa, Japan. This is the second of 3 versions of this toy and this version was issued in 1962. Mostly tin litho with some plastic parts including the attached battery box remote control unit. The main changes over the first version are all metal arms and litho only chest nameplate rather than raised plastic lettering. Has plastic cover on face and through this control room is visible with pair of small men which give the appearance of the robot’s eyes. All functions work. Walks forward, bends up and down, opens and closes its arms and raises its arms up and down. Foam pieces inside hands are replacements. All-over scattered trace of wear including paint nicks/rubs/scratches and tabs show some wear as well. However, overall appearance remains bright and glossy. Fine.
