Brian.. Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 There are a few items sitting in the database that have poor photos, limited information and which could do with a little attention. If you can shed light on any of these it would be helpful. A better picture would be ideal. Here's one for starters: the Space Gold Star, a neat vehicle with retractable wings. Is that logo an M in a triangle? - Mitsuhashi? . I guess it's friction but this is all I have: SOLVED - SEE BELOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 (Thanks, Dirk. That's the best view I've had of it.) This seems rather obvious, but I can't find a robot to go in this Japanese box. It has to be a robot with silver fly eyes, have a TV screen and a spaghetti antenna. The dinosaur robot doesn't fit the bill. it has red eyes.

Brian.. Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Here's a pitiful photo of a Yone rocket. Anyone got something better? SOLVED - SEE DATABASE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks to Gilbert for this line-up of robot Horikawa Space Explorers. It looks as though the box (bottom left) is misleading and the robot inside is actually a red fly eye with a TV space scene (no dinosaurs).

Brian.. Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 We talked about this a few years ago but still nothing definite has been established. If it's a prototype then it's at an advanced stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Another mystery that we put on the back burner. Probably the first American robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I think this could be the daddy of all those Hungarian Holdautos. It looks like ATC but can anyone confirm this miserable sighting? SOLVED - SEE BELOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Dank u zeer! Did we ever work out where those Holdautos started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That clear fellow was at Jay Brotter's booth at the Allentown toy fair five or ten years ago. Is that the photo I posted? Maybe I mentioned where it was at the time. I'll bet Jay knows all about it. It seems to me it was a yonezawa model, but I could be remembering wrong. I believe E bought it, back then. I'm sorry E doesn't appear anymore. He knew a lot, even if he ruffled feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Brian, that primitive is supposed to be the prototype of the Buck Rogers Mekkano that was never made. I'm making one when I have time to match the other Buck Rogers robot build I made. it probably will be closer to the card set Mekkano than the Britain figure.
