Vintage 1960's HORIKAWA FIGHTING ROBOT Tin Space Toy made in JAPAN
Made by the famed Japanese tin toy robot factory HORIKAWA sometime in the late 1950s/early 1960s. Is a Horikawa brownish-gray with a magnificently colorful lithograph of electronic beauty placed behind a clear plastic chest-piece. Battery operation is done by 2 d cells housed in the back. It had been working, however, I havent tested it in a while. If it has been some time since a tin toy robot has been run it can take a bit of effort to get them going. Well, I didnt even have a chance to find out. I put batteries in the back and when I went to turn it on the front on/off switch just fell apart! It broke my heart because it is so nice.

I guess it must have been a result of age? Cosmetically, it has a few issues as well: I guess youd call it a slight crack or chip in the plastic chest piece above the gun. Also, there is a slight dent in the battery compartment door in the back.

I tried to take photos to clearly show those defects. And, of course the broken on/off switch (which I will still send along).

Overall Ive always felt this looked to be an outstanding-looking example of one of my favorite robots! Paint job looks pretty darn good all over. The chrome and metal pieces look really good as well. Not a lot if any rust to be found.

The battery compartment is also really clean. The dome on top as well is free from cracks. As I mentioned before, I DID have this running and it worked well.

Just a really fun piece. Such a great design I loved to look at it when it was just standing there! PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO BOX. I do not want to go down this road again. THERE IS A BROKEN ON AND OFF SWITCH.

That ought to do it. Please look at the photos as this is what you will be receiving.
