The new Disney bot...

BB-8 and D-O Pez dispensers, PEZ, Hungary

And, what did you guys think of the movie ?

Round Table Knight

Round Table Knight Robot, Ptoy, Taiwan, 1980's

Well, here you have it. King Arthur can rest in his grave now, the next generation knight is going to guard Camelot all on his own.

Missing a shield, this one is (to my knowledge) one of the only robots with a Christian cross on his chest...

What is an Orgroid ?

Orguss Orgroid II, ?, Taiwan, 1980's

This one is a childhood toy of my colleague Tomeke. Thanks man !

This bot is a covert listening device !

Spy robot, Sanja, China, 2002 

Just ideal to record and playback like a parrot all you want to say...

These boots are smokin' hot Astro !

I'm seeing purple cows now...

Milka Cow, handpuppet, ?

Did this one came with a box of chocolates included ? I hope so !

JR 21 X-60 Space Rocket

Another one from my favorite line of space toys. This rocket transporter goes with the X-30, X-40 and X-50 of the same series (see here).

Unique design, cool mechanisms... what could a kid need more to go on a space mission?

X-60 Space Rocketm JR21 Toy, Hong Kong

Ready for launch ?

A front in style with a B-52 bomber cockpit / canopy ?

Ultraman's wheels for rock-splitting action !

This is another toy coming straight from the Japanese universe of Ultraman (Ultraman Taro to be exact): behold the Bermider II tank ! (with wind-up key)

Looks like the Mole from the Thuncerbirds but on esteroids... and yes, the design of the box is way cooler than the design of the toys itself... but at least it has a spark mechanism behind an orange translucid panel at the back.

Bermider II, Bullmark, Japan, 1973

Apolo 1 - Airgam

Apolo 1 playset, Airgam, Spain, 1970's 

A modular space base, all in one neat package (well, hmmm. 4 packages really - this is the nº1).
As you can see there are a lot of antennas in Spanish space design from the 70ies...  and a lot of colors too !

The set also comes with cards showing the other sets and some different space base building techniques... all you need really for that perfect condo at the borders of the Sea of Tranquility !

The astronauts / spacemen are specific to these sets and are very nicely done (even though the ones I found did have some limb-loosing issues). All in all a very funky playset and I am eager to locate the other ones to make the mother of all space bases !

Dark side candy containers

The Deuche

Citroen's success was widely popular in Japan where the 2CV has a cult following... Here a smaller (tin) version - maybe from a car carrier or a larger set... No markings except for "Japan" at the bottom of the toy.
