Vintage 1950s Yoshiya (Japan) Robby Robot Space Trooper W/ Box
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:652623 | Year: 1950 |
Very nice example. All tabs nice are straight to the toy, this guy was never opened or fooled with. Paint is bright and shiny. Stamped "Japan" on its base. Crank wind. Measures 6.5 inches high. When wound Robby saunters forward as 4 copters spin under his clear original dome. There is one small tight line ...in his dome. The dome has no crazing. There is a very small piece missing from plastic protrusion that hold his vertical antenna. Lastly one small flat tin piece has broken off his center copter. These are very minor "flaws" and do not detract from the overall stellar appearance of the toy.
The Original Box retains it's original price tag of .98 cents. The box is nice and square with no writing or tears. All 8 original staples are intact and hold the box together tightly. There are 3 unobtrusive small punctures on the box face where Robby's claw hands must have poked through at one time. No missing paper, just tight small imperfections. Again, nothing that compromises the overall stellar display power of the box.
