Joe K. Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 . I'd like to see a Horikawa robot made completely of transparent plastic! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 That would be nice Joe, but the un-coloured clear styrene over large areas and shapes could be quite fragile. Anyone who has worked with plastic model kits and tried to mess with clear parts has run into this. Like with vinyl records the colouring apparently helps to strenghen it... I think because of the shape of the piston robots with their squared corners they've held up OK over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Here we have another type that was on Ebay this version came and went real fast with only 2 makes on this one. The eyes are different and the red hands are also with the claw area not open as the other version in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennetzel Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I picked up a Piston Robot at the last Botstock. Jay told me it was the rare one...the one with the black lithography. It looks sharp...I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrarobotman Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Here we have another type that was on Ebay this version came and went real fast with only 2 makes on this one. The eyes are different and the red hands are also with the claw area not open as the other version in this forum. I think this one is super-cool and sinister with those eyes.

Roboto Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I like this version that was for sale from MH/Osaka's site in 2012. The back really stands out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
