duxastrogirl Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Who's this guy? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 A Dutch guy called Henk gosses who's been collecting and making robots for years had made this prototype and was trying to get it manufactured. Apparently, either he had some luck, or somebody swiped his design, which would probably be fine with him too. I'm not sure why he doesn't post anymore. He had a huge amount of robot knowledge, and we all miss him. I wrote him a while back, but never got a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Looking at it again, is it very close to that MT guy who rides in the gumball car? I think remember those markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Duxastrogirl - its a pitty, that HENK has not the time to take part at our talk. I know, that he is very busy since last year - must be a very big commission. He works mostly on special effects - design - art, and he is great manual worker too. He made this fantastic DYNAMO ROBOT from an old tea box !! He thought there is a laser robot, atom robot ... why don`t perform a Dynamo Robot ? ( the left one of course . . . is the right one a repop ... or is this the first of a bigger Dynamo - Production??) He designed also a box in a fantastic 50th art :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxastrogirl Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Marvelous work!! Both the box and the robot. It's true it's very similar to the one sitting on the gumball car.I think I heard about Henk but I'd never seen any of his designs. SH Mike where did you get the photo of the "repop"?? Is it a real robot in production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxastrogirl Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Talking about completed auctions...Is there a way to see all completed auctioms without having the item number?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 As opposed to the glut of repros being produced-Henk Gosses created an original robot to be hopefully mass marketed by Schylling. His name is Dynamo Robot. Henk's creation is on the left. Up to just recently Schylling did not follow thru with production. I donn't know what the robot on the right is-Hopefully S.H. will fill us in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 DUX-On the search page to the left on ebay is a completed auction tab. Just click on it (you have to re-enter your password and user name and up come completed auctions. )I do not recall how many days back they show.

Joe K. Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Is it a real robot in production?The torso comes from the miniature version of the X-9 "bubble gum" vehicle. The legs are from one of these:http://danefield.com/alpha/forums/index.ph...act=ST&f=2&t=30Is it real? Or, is it photoshop? Perhaps, only SH MIKE knows for sure!

dratomic Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Those legs look familiar -- one of the cheap Chinese toys that hit within the last few years. Can't remember which at the moment. But it probably wouldn't be hard to take the torso from one toy and connect it to the legs of another, just for the heck of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
