Joe K. Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 See: http://cgi.msn.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...20&category=616 Click to enlarge the second photo.In the lower left hand corner are the smaller Karate Robots. They came in red and blue color variations.In the upper right hand corner are the larger KarateRobots, also in red and blue. These were carried in the 1970 Sears Christmas catalog. They are not published in any of my books and catalogs, so no references can be given.Perhaps John R. will be so good as to post this catalog page photo before it disappears.
