reproduction Planet Robots that have
all been modified by John Rigg to
make different variations on Planet
Robot. We now have a tin clawed
Battery-Operated robot, two hard
plastic handed versions, and three soft
rubber-handed versions. One of which
also another Battery-Op variation.
What do you do when the makers of
reproduction robots forget to make all
the proper versions?....
Call John Rigg!!! Thanks, John!
came in both brown and green litho versions. Box
art is funky and very cool. And certain ones were
packed with a die-cast Blaster Pistol!
were both made by Osaka Tin Toy Institute. The larger
walks, stops and waves his blaster back and forth as it
shoots and then continues. Everything works and lights up
and it's awesome to see. Done in gunmetal with Special
Edition versions in bright shinny gunmetal, silver, and
chrome! The other is a wind-up with a litho panel that rolls
under the dome to simulate motorized actions. Also comes
in silver and with a special red blaster pistol!
and chest panel and as you turn head the sax
valves inside dome actually pump up and
down! Great little robot and already climbing in
price big time. Two versions were made with
one featuring the special claw hands used by
Robby to fly the C-57D in the last scene of the
movie.
Space are so special since they are the first tin versions of
this beloved robot ever made! Exclusively from Robot Island.
Thanks to Jay Brotter for this great photo!
these Piston Action Robots by Ha Ha Toys.
Beautiful and faithful but with the added feature of a
motorized spinning antenna! Very cool!
remote-control battery-operation with lights and special
paint jobs.
Mechanized Robot. Self-contained batt-opp
with lighted mouth & head litho details,
heart-box switch, and faithfull paint job just
like big brother! Just beautiful!!
and another in white & red.
Pugs include a fantasy Bare
Metal Pug, a silver with red heart
box (another original version
that exists), a gold & black
D-Celled version with twin
motorized horizontal spinning
antenna, and finally a silver &
red D-Celled version also with
twin spinning horizontal
motorized antenna. The
D-Celled Pistons are exact
faithful reproductions of very
rare versions of this robot that
sell for much higher prices than
the common C-Celled ones we
see most often. Thanks to
John's talents I have
reproductions of all the versions
of Piston Action Robot.
