NEW FIGHTING ROBOT - HORIKAWA - JAPAN

Tin and plastic battery operated robot with guns in chest. Misidentified as the Thunder Robot in Kitahara. The dome on New Fighting Robot does not light up. The chest panel is one large piece with the plastic guns at the top and just litho on the rest of the panel. Unlike other Horikawas where the chest plate pushes out once, the guns on the chest panel on New Fighting Robot move fully in and out during the shooting cycle. The effect makes the whole robot shake, resembling recoil from the guns.

Art 1040, described as new in the 1971 Horikawa catalog.
