funkrobotik Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 In this case I think plastic is the favourite as there would be less chance of a nasty shock or short circuit. Yes, always practice safe sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 OK, my top five in no particular order:1) Masudaya 16" or 24" Robby the Robot. Even though it's immobile I just love the look and feel of it.2) Ideal Robert the Robot. For all the obvious reasons + I had one as a kid and hey, we share the name!3) Saturn Robot. TV and Missles, the perfect combination.4) DUX! Mommie, I want one, pleeeease! Danka!5) Marx Electric Robot W/ Son. Always liked the way he carries that kid, like a lantern. Diogenes, looking for an honest babysitter. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gernot Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 Here are my votes in no special order(Volker and Dirk please enter the contest, even if you dont collect "them" plastics)- Dux Astroman (My #1 pastic Robot of all times, unusual in any way, the well proposed shape, the function with the noise of the feet clicking, the color, the material, the antenna.. , just perfect)- Rotor Robot (couldnt decide which color I like most, blue or orange)- Roboter 700 (maybe because I had the chance of holding one in my hands but never got it for my collection, even here in Germany).- Magnor (the little brother of Plastic Mr Robot who didnt make my Top five)- (Big) See Through Robot from Hong Kong (just taller and long strechted compared to Shepard Robot)I could name much more favourites The decision to pick out just five is very difficult, I should have changed the rules to at least 10 favourites. Now its too late.Here are plastic robots from the following group (without counting to the final result):Venus Robot series (Especially the red one with the sticker on the front and the one from Hong Kong)Shepard RobotRanger RobotPlastic Mr. RobotRobot and Son (Grey--Gold-Burgundy Version has the most appeal to me)and dont forget the Take a part Gear Robot (The child guidance toy with the big key/tool).Come one guys keep voting... dont be shy....every robot lover should be able to name at least five favourites (even he doesn´t collect or own those plastic robots).

roboz Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I'm a little robot doo tee doo ...Yeah he can be annoying but I have to tell you this is the closest you'll get to a robot with personality ...you'll find yourself actually talking back...albeit with strange looks from the wife & kids... :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 No special order does make it possible to actualy finish the list. here goes Rotor. - If willy wonka had a robot... See through. - The spiro-graph robot! Mr. atom - He's the one who wears the pants in his family. And a couple of working class favorites - Monster robot - Just love that "churping" monster head. Pogot - I don't know why, but I have real affection for this unassuming, cheap little russian bot. something to do with how it isn't trying to be anything but what it is, a simple little wind up toy.

Fineas J. Whoopie Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I just realized that the subject started as "the most beautifull and desireable" plastic robot list. I seemed to have wandered with my last two entrys. I guess I was thinking more sentimentaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
