Ultrarobotman Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I like those pictures of the manufacturing machines/presses in the museum. This is the first I have seen or heard of them since the ending of the original Metal House. I would love to see those museum shelves empty one day soon and those presses making robots.

ROBOHUNTER Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Great pics of the machines and museum but I'm surprised at what looks like a lack of Metal House robots in the museum? And what's with the animal thing with handbag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roboto Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 At the time Osaka was no longer making new robots just selling what was left. They stopped production of the Astro Boy as of 2013 and it was MH that came over to join them and continue to make newer robots. They have a museum there and here are a few photos that show many robots from even other makers these photos were done in early 2007. Osaka has now sold out on just about all of there tin toys so not much left. How quickly the world of tin toy making has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOHUNTER Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I see. Thanks for posting those photos. I take it those machines were used to create the Space Giants as well as all the other MH robots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roboto Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 On a sad note. Here is a notice from Osaka pertaining to the MH shop that was moved to there new location a few yrs ago. The shop was still doing Robots with what they had till now. The T IN AGE Information Unfortunate notice In April 2017 the metal house of the tin toy manufacturing factory was closed. There will be no production of tin toys in the future. The history of the manufacture of Japanese tin toys that has been in existence for 120 years has ended here.

Automaton Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Well nothing lasts forever. Who is even left now. I wonder if they have any final robots or prototypes to be released. I greatly enjoyed their creations and I will leave a message of thanks to them that was given to me when I ordered origami from Japan and they seeing it was being sent to Ireland left this message in Irish and Japanese both of which mean thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cost $550.00 each but for the Nickel plated one that runs $740.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrarobotman Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 This is certainly sad news. So, I have always been confused when it came to the Metal House/Osaka partnership. The original Metal House phased out a few yrs ago and the "new" Metal House took over using left-over existing parts; original dies and machinery gone. Osaka made different robots than MH, so they had different dies/machinery, are they gone now too, and I wonder what becomes of them. So very sad and final if they are all scrapped and recycled. Also, does this mean (not understanding the relationship) that this is also the end of the "new" MH that used up the leftovers of the old? Sad news overall no matter what...
