The toys that made us

[Phil R]

I've been watching the Netflix series THE TOYS THAT MADE US, highly recommend it.  the episode on Transformers has a several minute intro on the tin toys after World War 2. Several times during the episode I saw this blue and yellow robot sitting on a table, loved it. All I have is this partial photo. Brady or anyone.

Well, I found out what the toy is. It's a Unicron prototype, different from the final product.

Thought it was a hodge podge of toys at first, Death Star  truck parts, ,etc to form a robot

as an advertising thing (toys of the ages)....

 

.....But I can see I am wrong and it's a weird Japanese Robot.

 

 Sounds like an interesting special on toys, I'll have to check it out.

Apparently the production model is very expensive. I find that collectors items are many times more expensive than vintage toys.

Hasbro's "HASLAB" is releasing a Unicron "toy" and also has a X-Men Sentinel figure in production.  I jumped onboard for the Mandalorian Razor Crest and of course they blew it up in the series.  Now wish I would jumped on the Sentinel instead, but it's too late and the secondary market prices will be insane.
