VENUS ROBOT - YOSHIYA - JAPAN

Red plastic wind up robot with black arms and face. A tinplate panel with motif is set into the chest. Walking action. The arms are loose. There are two versions of this robot: one with a smooth head and one with a small spike. Box marked No 305. It is assumed that the spike version is earlier because toys tended to be simplified over their lifetime.

Featured as a new robot, item #3015 in the 1965 Yoshiya catalog
