A Robot Bug?

Recommended Posts

Ok, we have robot men, robot women...robot whales and even robot dogs...do we really need a robot cockroach? Yes, my latest acquisition is just that, the "Conchuter" by Takara. Made in the 70's, it is another in a long line of diecast toys based on Japanese space opera manga. It's 5" long and has poseable legs moveable wings (to display a beautiful chromed engine), and a tiny red pilot under the faceplate. It's fairly hefty for it's size, I like the Disney-esque cheerful face, despite the fact that it fires missiles too! It came complete with the box.
