rare toy and almost impossible to find boxed. It
usually is found with the incorrect "farmer" box from

lighted piston that pump up and down under clear
plastic top & sides. Great toy!
Also notice Robby hanging out back window. I have both
versions of this bus with the litho windows you see plus
another that has cut-out windows. Not nearly as nice, but
different. Shown with original box courtesy of Guy
Antiques. My box is a reproduction but I would love to add
an original one day!

construction including arms. And the bumpers, wheels, and
hub caps are all chrome. The final production version of
toy is in ugly green with many parts done in cheap plastic
and decals instead of actual litho. The red version is the
actual toy from the famous book Robot by Pierre
Boogaerts. It finally came to me by way of the Griffith
Estate.
