robothut Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I added a you tube version of the Mexican robot in action to this old thread from 10 years ago. Many of you may not have seen the thread or the video so enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Will you keep that table lamp switch on its head, John? It must be tempting to replace it with something civilised, but there goes the charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Thanks for the video John. I remember when this robot was first discovered here on Alphadrome. It was big news at the time because it was the first "newly discovered" vintage battery op toy robot in a long time. It still enjoys a sort of legendary status. I don't believe it can be found in any reference books. Does anyone know of an auction catalog that included an example? as john says I don't think we even know it's original name if there is one Matrtian Gil - Very nice display!!

robothut Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Examples of the box artwork would make you think it was called ROBOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
