robothut Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Z-Man the Brain was the first electric robot that was programable. Patent file date is 1956 and was issued in 1957, our time line shows the toy being sold in 1956. I do have a Z-Man in my collection but again it was dirt cheep and is missing the rocket launchers. I new a guy once that had a mint in box Z-Man, instruction book and all inserts, he did not want to sell it. So if you have good pictures of a Z-Man and box feel free to post the pictures here.
