MACHINE ROBOT - HORIKAWA - JAPAN


ADMINDATA

Plastic wind up robot. Fly eyes. Five gears in chest. The broader body, the legs that don't taper at the top and the lack of a mouth point to a new style of Horikawa robot.
Height: 6.75"
Actions: Robot walks forward as gears in chest turn. Arms move up and down as a result of coming in contact with the rotating red plastic wind up key handle.
Additional info.: Embossed on the back of the robot's torso is the Horikawa logo (S.H in a diamond) with the words TRADE MARK on either side of it. Beneath it: MADE IN JAPAN

This robot is pictured in the Horikawa 1972 catalog as a NEW item. It is shown in black plastic however.

Also shown is the silver chrome version with red fly eyes with a Japanese market box. The robot appears to have at some stage been sold in a simple plastic bag with header card.
