Marx Electric Robot and Son

Electric Robot and Son, MARX toys, USA,
1955

It took me a number of years, but I finally got to pair these two...

Another classic US-design. This robot is a pure example of the atomic 50'ies - with a grin that is either laughing at you or trying to teach kids to brush their teeth ! (hey, I ate too much oily candy and now my mouth is looking like a radiator !)

Finish it up with a Morse Code chart on the back of his head (yes, robots of that time did not speak in Bits and Bytes, but in Morse - through a buzzer system...) and a son that is very often missing in action, and you have the all mighty skirted Mr. Electric Robot.

Together with Robert - they are some of Marx's best.

Glass eyes... there goes toy
safety in the fifties !

A diaper on a robot ? 
Oil leaks ?

Blue Bots

Walk Robot (ref. 2006),
Hong Kong, 1980's ?

Batery Operated

Play Bot, Hong Kong, 1980's ?

Where's the Mayo ? where's the Andalouse ? I suddenly have a craving for Fries...

Thats what these versions of iconic Star Wars Characters do to me... but hey, I'm from Belgium !

Tin futuristic airplane

World Jet Airlines, Crown (?), Hong Kong, 1970's

 

This plane was a gift from a fellow Portuguese toy collector (thanks Paulo !) and has the same "rainbow" function as the aircar from Japan you can see here.

Cute litlle toy, half plastic, half tin. Friction powered. Now I'll just ask if some airline companies could take this paintscheme... it certainly would make life at the airports much more cheerful !

Oh no, it's El Barto !
