Stefdesign, your collections are quite charming. I'm enjoying clicking through the photos. You and your robots bring back many fond memories of my early childhood. Agree with Esther ... I love this site .. DD@Phila
Like these too! I have many as well and not near enough space to display them all.
Very nice
I swear we had a few of these once upon a time, too bad we also had firecrackers.....oops!!
Great fun collection
These are great. I've always thought of maybe starting my own collection of robots with all the fun bright colors. I also recently purchased cute robot nesting dolls as a gift for my brother.
Oh, I just now discovered this! Wheeeeeee! Magnificent!
Cool! I came across a very neat old metal tin? robot that wound up and went for a walk at an auction a while ago. Someone out bid but I wish I had l had kept going because it was relatively cheap and super cool. It was really old but in perfect condition. Thanks for sharing your fun colourful collection.
