Piforak with his Herculopoing

Piforak Robot, PIF Gadget Magazine
France, 1979

Goldorak being such a success story in France, it was not long before everyone wanted to surf the Super Robot wave. This one here is a build-yourself kit that was given with the purchase of the PIF Gadget magazine, a publication for kids that saw daylight in 1969, but got a lot of hype during the 70ies and 80ies, especially because they were one of the first magazines that came with a "gadget" (little plastic toy or other gizmo) that kids could build themselfves and put in a backpack to bring to school and show their friends during recess.

 The relationship with Goldorak (=PiforaK) and his detachable fists, the Fulgoropoing (here "Herculopoing") cannot be more obvious.

O robot full of air...

Robocon, Popy, Japan, 1970's

I wished I had this one in the swimming pool when I was a kid, instead of the usual ducky floating devices... but then, with all of the circuits in his belly, maybe not a good idea after all 😁...

This is one of the toys that makes me smile, and a perfect addition to the other Robocons in the collection.
