Is there a thread about your blow molded Mexican robot collection? I'm curious about it.

6Stelab9,

               No, I don’t think I ever made a post about them. I don’t want to Bogart this post, but I have an affinity for these somewhat comical little robots; they have a certain charm. I only own 6 examples; there are 5 in this grouping, from back to front: the tall silver bank on the left, a green on on the right, and the 3 most commonly found in front, including the extremely rare “killer robot” with the orange guns in the center (the guns are always missing). Click on the photos to see a bigger picture.

 

 

 

And this handsome fellow, is one of my favorites.

Thank you for sharing Tinplate6. I have never seen those strange robots before. It's always nice to discover new toys. I like green one on the back. Funny face.

Was watching this one on eBay.

 

Ended yesterday for a really good price...

 

This is the 3rd one i saw in 5 years time, are they that seldom? The alps rocketman you really see often actually...😕

 

What is your opinion guys about these banks?

Who has one in his collection?

You like him or thinks he’s ugly?

Alle...seriously? Augh, I missed another one! 

[maimo65]

I missed that one too :P

All robots are special 🙌 .....the good, the bad and the ugly.

I like the dark green one in the upper right side.

 

First time I ever seen these....that bottom one looks like he could hypnotize me. Barbershop looking pattern.

Do the eyes  👀   toggle or something ?

An update from this robot, this is the original lamp for the third version, this example is in very good condition, (the robot isn't mine but the owner let me take pictures).
