dratomic Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I like that metallic robot... is it made of metal, or is it just metallic-colored plastic? How big is it? What sort of actions does it have? Wind up or battery operated? Any idea when it was made?I also find that last robot interesting -- obviously based on the Alps bots. But is it ALL plastic? Body too?

steve Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The plastic robot obviously based on the Alps design I believe was a bank premium. There are several variations. The first robot I believe also has a red variation and is way cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brian. Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The metallic robot is absolutely fascinating. A completely fresh approach to robot design: the broad body, the angled arms, and that fascinating helmet with a hint of tubes behind. The logo is such a far cry from the space-component style of the Japanese. It really is a gem. It reminds me of the Foki piece. Any chance of a close up of that face? I think you should name it for us. The consolidada looks like it has folk influences: it could grow on me.Thanks Ole, great additions. Just when you think you've seen it all!Talking of naming discoveries, I wonder what the inspiration for Uranus was ........... or does that old gag only work in England?

Guest neatstuff Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 In the first pictured robot, does it have an astronauts face inside or? It's hard to tell from this picture.Robot de La Consolidada, looks like it's eaten way to many Mexican hot chilies over the years. I like hot chilies but if this is the end results then I had better stop, Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotisland Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Robot Ole, very cool Robot. I saw one of these on Ebay last year. Aren't there a couple of different color variations. If you ever find another, please email me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Actually the first robot is battery operated and made of sheet metal. It walks and has a light up face(like battery op planet robot without the swirling innards). I'll try to post up a pic later of a red variation-lately I have Henk syndrome-nothing wants to post up.

robothut Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 The first robot looks like it was based on the robot in the Mexican movie, ROBOT VS the AZTEC MUMMY 1957. you can find the DVD for a few bucks in the bargin DVD bins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
