MARS EXPLORER, SILVER/GREY VERSION - HORIKAWA - JAPAN

A silver lithographed tin battery operated tin robot on wheels. The body has a rather abstract pattern of shaded rectangles. The head has lithographed versions of the red fly eyes printed onto the flaps that cover the face. This is effectively a combination of robot and astronaut.

Robot moves forward, stops; chest door drops down and guns fire. Face panels open to reveal astronaut face.

English and Japanese versions of the box are shown.

There is also a red litho version of this robot.
