ckalkhof Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 This is a great thread Kirk. I never even knew these little guys existed. The build pix were great to see. It's always interesting to see the insides of the old toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still taking measurements of the plastic components and such. Perhaps 98% complete? But we still have this to consider... Last question for the peanut gallery... alphadromers. Are both of the blue toys robots? Or could it be that Delchan is an astronaut / spaceman? My current feeling is that Delchan is not a robot. Thoughts?

RoboCopy Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 As Brian said, they both have little willies, so maybe neither of them are robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Gil Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 AND! You two can't duck out of pitching in a penny's worth of opinion on this matter, good grief - this is a towering, question of the ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gernot Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 for me they are both robots- well- one has also a camera and a separate face- but why should a robot not take pictures? Good move to take them out to disassemble and play- after so many years sticking behind that blister package- waiting for someone to free them.

Though, Delchan's "fingered" gloves hold sway for me. I see them as the future odd couple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothut Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The rattle back star drive in the chest is a common way to control the speed of windup mechanics and should do the same for the rubber band as long as the plastic gears can take the force. Nice design just needs to be scaled up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
