ROBBY ROBOT - YONEZAWA - JAPAN

Tin windup. Advances with walking motion and spark (not working). Boy's face is inside the diving bell helmet. One of the trio of Yonezawa classics which include Roby Robot and Conehead. All are based on the same body, leg and arm pressing, the differences being confined to the heads. It is a simple wind-up mechanism with the switch in the lithoed front panel. The arms are feeble flat claws dangling from two dome structures. There's no doubting that the style is that of Robby from the 'Forbidden Planet'. The legs display the typical segmented styling so common in robots.
