Rhorsch Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I'm being offered this robot and was just curious if this is a known variation of the later version. I had thought this spacing of the two front tabs on the skirt (where they're further out) was exclusive to the earlier green version, but this is one is a blue that's closer to the second version, has a black underside (whereas the earlier one is solid green to my understanding), lacks the two embossed, stamped details on the upper chest usually found on the later one, but also has the box of the later one. Anyone know if this is a known variation or if it's more likely that some re-painting was done at some point in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fineas J. Whoopie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 My question is what is that "belt" looking thing at the waist of the robot in the first picture? has anyone seen that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I guess it's just a light reflection Don! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Hi Dirk. This maroon colored piece at the "waist" in the first picture is what I am referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K. Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I believe Dirk is correct, Don. The maroon color is being reflected from the surface the robot is standing on: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 OK I can see it now. It's a concave vs convex optical illusion. It really looked like an extra piece to me. Thanks Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Hey Don - yes of course - I know what you mean! I've tried to approximate it with my Directional Robot. It's the sloping surface which was probably exposed strangely... (And Thank you Joe!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkrobotik Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Mouth looks odd on first pic or is it just the picture ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mouth does look a bit odd, I think I've seen the green bodied one before, finished in blue. The green one has a longer neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboCopy Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I think it’s the shadow of his nose that makes the mouth look strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
