Another one to look for in the Cylon robot series. Lucifer is an I-L series Cylon with a transparent pointy head who tends to favor wearing red robes, he also has two oscillating eyes, in contrast to the single eye of Cylon Centurions. He is 12" tall and was released in 2009. 🙂

This Rocket USA line with the R-1 Bare Metal Robot is another one to look for. This nickel-plated, shiny metal 12 inch tall tin robot features bump'n go action, flashing eyes and flashing ears. 🙂

Is Rocket USA re-releasing this or is this the original version?

They are now discontinued and sold out. And have become one to look for in good condition. I have seen them once in awhile for sale for around $80.00 to $100.00. The red version has also become a nice one to look for. :)

I have them all. I'm just not sure why you are posting them. They're not new and they're not reproductions.

Just curious.

(R1) from Rocket USA is a rare reproduction robot inspired by the famous “Gang of Five” by Masudaya of Japan. The R1 features Bump n Go Action powered by 2 AA batteries.. With the proportions of the battery powered original, this robot features flashing lights in his eyes and ears, clamping hands and engine sounds. One very cool series to have. The yellow version I believe is the only one to have the top of head lite all others had the ears lit. Like the Gang of 5 this series was also done in 5 . 🙂

Another cool series to look for. Originally produced in 3 color versions in 1950's Japan. The known history of this Robot was that the Grey version was first produced in the 1950's, then Lavender, then only a very small run of the Blue. 600 makes on these reproductions. 🙂

Nice one to look for is this Mighty Robot wind up. It is one of the most ornate lithographed robots of the 1950's with his mask and depicted explosion on his chest. A/K/A the Racoon Robot because of his masked feature. This version has 600 makes. 🙂
