Joe K. Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 As seen in this 1979 Montgomery Ward Christmas Specials catalog: I have this toy in my collection. Embossed on the back: ENCO INDUSTRIES, INC. JERICHO, N.Y. 11753 MADE IN HONG KONG I do not have the box, so I'm hoping the "Action Robot" name given by the catalog description is accurate. Anyone have the box?

Tinplate6 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I absolutely love children's activity robots; they have a charm all their own, this is no exception, nice get Kat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any details about it? I'm not sure what additional details are to be had. We have a name, an initial date, a manufacturer, country of manufacture, and a box that describes it's functions. I've seen this toy a couple times in thrift shops. Usually missing one or both hands and always in the blue body color, not the black like shown on the box.
