This unique little robot seems to be unsure about his
place in the robot universe. He is part robot, with his tin body,
yet he seems almost to be part alarm clock with his windup, spring-driven,
clockwork plastic leg wheels and arms, and his ringing bell, which comes to
life as he spins around in circles.
Certainly, Mr. Robot is very special and dapper, sporting a cute little bowtie on his neck,
and an interesting satellite dish on his rear.
(Japanese; Asahi (ATC), early 1960's;
Boogaerts #132, Tin Toy Dreams #130;
6 5/8" high; silver lithographed tin body with plastic arms and
propulsion wheels, clockwork mechanism.
