Tetsujin 28




Tetsujin 28 and Monster robot, Nostalgic Heroes, Japan,
1990s
This pot-belly robot was quite popular in the States - Tetsujin 28 aka Gigantor. He is your robot version of Japan's Sumo warriors. In the cartoon, Tetsujin is a robot with incredible strength, but no intelligence whatsoever. He is remote controlled by a young boy, Jimmy Sparks. In Japan - original tin toys of this character were made in great numbers. These vinyl repros have their charm also.
