We are proud to start the new year with our favorite robot duo. Electric Robot and Son were manufactured in the U.S.A. by Louis Marx in the 1950s. This is a large (150cm X 185cm X 265cm) plastic, battery-powered robot with unique coloring and appearance. Dad has a great clunky, but proudly smiling look, as he shows off his cute little robot toddler son, complete with robotic diaper.

Teruhisa Kitahara, in Robots: Tin Toy Dreams (1983) says: "Made in America in the 1950s this robot, with son in hand, turns its head and blinks its eyes. Baby wears a diaper. The shiny black and red finish is attractive and readily enhances this toy's overall quality."
