Osaka in 2006 released the OT23BK called Tin Age Atom battery powered 12"tall as he walked the front panel opened up and the colorful inner display was to be seen. This version had 50 makes only and sold out fast.

Even Astro boy had a job with deliveries in these OT28A-B versions done in 2008-2009 very limited.

We now come up to a few giant versions from Osaka like the RR01 24" Tall Smoking Robot limited to 100 make from 2003 with Remote Radio Control and made of Tin with its Mechanical Walking Turning Smoking Action the weight is 15 Lbs. However there may have only been 30 to 40 made due to the time frame of the making.

Osaka released this rare version Robby 24" Tall Mechanized Robot RR03 with Remote Radio Control and made of Tin & Resin with Mechanical Walking Turning Action. Inside Dome Pistons Move and Light Up, Scannner Rings Rotate. Exactly like the smaller Mechanized Robot. There were to be 200 made but perhaps only a few ever came to be made in 2008 I believe less then 24 makes happened.

Those are real giants at 2 ft. tall. I remember being fascinated seeing these a few years back on the old Metal House site, in the Osaka section. I remember there was quite a long waiting time after placing your order until you would get it, which is so understandable, being almost custom made, if you will, and so huge, weighing in at 15 pounds! I wish I would have been fortunate enough to have one. I do remember watching videos of these giants from the old site as well and the sound of them just moving was imposing, let alone the size.

The most rare version from Osaka came out in 2005 called the 24" Tall Attacking Martian RR02 with 100 makes. Came with Remote Radio Control and also made of Tin & Resin as Mechanical Walking Turning Action, Chest Opens, Guns Firing with Sound! There seems to have been 2 versions made the 1rst with a solid inner action area and the 2nd with a better inner open section. However the make on these are unknown as to how many made it out into production. I remember seeing somewhere perhaps less then 5 total. As you can see the remotes are different between them.
