Sidero - Période bleue

Qonto (Sidéro), Popy, Japan, 1979
Toymaker Popy sold these little robots carded in different colors under "Bandai Investment" logo... The original was of course white, but this gives us collectors quite a new challenge trying to collect them all.

The same model was sold with the saucer by Popy as well.
