Morbius Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Sanded in parts, spray painted not very well in primer grey with battery door closed (TV screen masked obviously), picture glued on face I say it's some form of art from one of those 'let's make this robot into a 'Rat Rod' type robot. Tin robots don't wear like that in those areas. Not that there's anything wrong with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Looks like some kid turned his robot into a crafts project back in the day. Whoever it was, they really didn't think the masking through very well. Painting over the clear plastic half of the head was a real "oops moment". Unless of course the clear plastic was the problem in the first place....who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Holy *&((& the kid had fun. Fun with a robot, fancy that, actually played with the thing. And meanwhile we're spending years upon years of our lives climbing through ruins looking for our golden idol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH MIKE Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 one of the photos shows the face mask up like the rocket man. (showing the eyes). Is it loose on there or does it go up and down ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
