GOLDEN ROBOT - LINEMAR - JAPAN

Called just "Robot" on the box. A golden colored tin battery operated robot with remote control. Buttons control walking via pins in the base. The eyes light and the arms swing. This robot does not smoke. The box is an oddity: it is ostensibly designed for the R-35 Robot that appeared a year earlier. The robot featured has only a vague similarity to the contents of the box. It is a mystery why more appropriate artwork was not created. Nevertheless, the box is specifically for the Golden Robot - the R-35 did not appear in it. The name is a collectors' nickname based on the color. Pedestal

The Golden Robot has no ears, rare for a robot.

There are two different versions of the Golden robot: one example has the little straight stand - see the pic. A second version has a bigger foot and the edges of the base curve slightly inward. The two versions have slightly but significantly different litho.

The black battery box is probably the most usual box but some other colour variations are known - light blue ( see the pic ) and possibly green. Pin-foot
