Jumbo Blow Mold Robot Bank

Recommended Posts

I recently acquired this unique blow mold plastic robot bank from Argentina. There was no other information from the seller, but I thought he had personality. The bank is a respectable 18 inches tall.

When it arrived, it needed some major restoration and cleaning.

So, after 6 hours of work, this is how it turned out.

Ironically, Argentina went Bankrupt in the late 90's and is now getting there again.

Maybe that Robot has their money ? 💰💰🤖

Golddalek, if this fellow ever had money, he spent it already.

 

Thanks for the comments, all. I really enjoyed bringing it back to life.

He seems very happy to join new friends. What is that kind of strange punk C3PO with a fleur-de-lys on the body (right of the photo)?

Thanks guys. Golddalek,  the Gigantor/Tetsujin28 jumbos are on eBay if you want to find one. Interestingly, that particular jumbo, was the first one I ever owned.
