GEAR ROBOT - HORIKAWA - JAPAN

Small nine inch multicolored tin and plastic wind up gear robot "with electronic room". Blue tinplate body, green plastic legs, red plastic arms and head. In common with other Horikawa robots of the time it small red Attacking Martian head with fly eyes. The ears are chrome

The chest has been considerably reworked: a new, brightly lithographed chest plate with a green and white gear arrangement. The electronic room hole in the chest is still present. Structurally it is very close to the later version of the Engine and the later version Gear Robot: Attacking Martian head, tapered plastic legs and arm pressings.

Japanese and English box versions.

There are a number of minor variations that exist: ear color, leg size, the height of the robot etc. As with all of these robots it is difficult to be sure of all permutations.

This robot first appears in the Horikawa catalog for 1970.
