PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING. SELLING A LARGE PORTION OF MY ROBOT COLLECTION!
THIS IS A FIVE DAY AUCTION!
Up for auction is a beautiful 1960s battery operated SWIVEL-O-MATIC ASTRONAUT ROBOT with BOX! This Robot was made in Japan around the late 1960s. I purchased him at a toy convention back in the early 1980s and placed him inside a glass case where he's been on display for over 30 years.
This SWIVEL-O-MATIC ASTRONAUT ROBOT is roughly... 11.5 inches tall. I just tested him with fresh batteries and he still works nicely! You flip the red switch to the left, and robot will walk forward, stop, rotate at his waist, then guns would light up, shoot out of his chest, and make a rat-a-tat tat sound! Check out my "action shot" photo.
Robot is in great cosmetic shape, and has very little play wear. Still, the red paint on his body is nice and glossy. The images on his gun-chest still look amazing, as is his visor and face inside his helmet. There is some slight "dulling" of the chorme on his helmet ears. The battery compartment is clean with no hint of corrosion. The big issue is that his arm came off. It can be 'hung" in place with the metal tab that's there, but it will need to be fixed. He can still work and rotate with his arm loosely attached. I will leave the fix to the new owner. He is mostly made of tin, with red plastic "feet" and "arms". Please look closely at all of the photos for details. Robot has no "dents", just a few tiny "nicks". Legs look good, as are his foot wheels. On his back battery compartment it has stamped "made in Japan".
The box is all original. There is some wear on the box at the corners, but the box lid is still in pretty good shape for its age. It also has a price tag on the bottom side of the lid, and a "buy Mego" sticker. Box colors are pretty bright and clear, and would display nicely.
If you should need more photos of the robot or box, please let me know before you bid.
Again, PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT ALL OF THE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS! He is all original, has no rust or corrosion that I can tell. SWIVEL-O-MATIC ASTRONAUT ROBOT comes from a smoke free home.
I am not a professional toy dealer, but to me this Swivel-O-Matic Astronaut is in really good shape for his age! If you should have any questions, please ask BEFORE bidding!
Please look at ALL of the photos before bidding. Swivel-O-Matic Astronaut and box are being sold "as-is", no returns. Bidding will begin at much lower price than I purchased him for. I will be selling many more robots, space toys, monsters and Star Wars items, so please check out my other listings.
If you should have any questions or need more photos to look at, please ask BEFORE bidding! Payment must be received within 48 hours after end of auction. As this is a pretty special Robot, I'll be packing it securely and will send it out via USPS Priority. I will include insurance. If you are an international buyer living outside of the USA, item MUST go through ebay's international shipping service. International buyer is responsible for any customs, import duty or taxes required to import this item, so postage will be more! Please be aware!
If you were to win an item from my other listings, I will combine & adjust shipping charges!
Many thanks, and good luck!
