SPACE ROBOT X-70 TULIP HEAD - NOMURA - JAPAN

Tin and plastic battery op. Advances with walking motion as his neck and head light and he makes a clanking noise. He stops, the head panels open and the TV camera revolves as the light flashes and he makes a clicking noise.

This robot appears to have been adapted to make the short-lived Radar Robot (Topolino). The body, arms and legs form the basis of Topolino, though the colors are quite different.

Japanese and English box versions exist. At least two litho variations are known, one (more common) with more litho detailing on the head, and a second version with less detailing and some plain panels. The Nomura catalog for 1971 shows a radically different lithographed version which has not been seen in the wild.

The Space Robot appeared in a Nomura catalog for 1970 and in a Galoob catalog for the same year.
