Joe K. Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 See: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...6931591569&rd=1 and, specifically: http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserve...ly/MVC3206a.jpg These plastic, most likely Hong Kong made, rotate-o-matic Astronauts all begin to look the same. I thought this one might be easier to I.D. because of it's "knobby" style arms, "C" shaped hands and "pointy" chest doors. Does anyone have this guy, w/ box, and can verify it's name? It's too new and "cheap" to turn up in any of my books and catalogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Joe- I posted an entry for that same robot in the 1976 Wards Christmas catalog. The catalog calls it a Moon Explorer.

plasticaugie Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 The rivet ones have to be the cheapest to produce and are the worst for the tinkerer. I hate these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 :lol: My first robot as a collectible from about 1976...I don't particularly like these either! After 10 years on the shelf, this guy (after breaking the gears after being started for about the 3rd time) was spray painted with exhaust paint and hung out to dry. He lived out on a post on our deck for his last 15 years of his life, until he self-destructed from the UV rays. Just discovered the old box, great artwork probably from the early 'Attacking Martians' but this one held a really, really poor excuse for a robot. The box was much better than the contents.
