1960s Nomura T.N Japan Tin Battery Operated Tetsujin T-28 No. 2 Robot Space Toy.

Daiya
Cragstan Astronaut
1960s Daiya Japan Tin Battery Operated Large Blue Astronaut Robot Space Toy.
RARE, LARGE, lithographed tin battery-operated astronaut which was made in Japan by Daiya in 1966.
This is the blue version which has slightly different litho detailing to the red version and does not carry the Cragstan logo.

After testing the robot with batteries, he walks smoothly and lifts his gun as he should, the rat-a-tat gun sound works but intermittently and the gun barrel does not light up so he is being sold as partially working. PLEASE ONLY BID ON THIS BASIS.
Dux
Astroman Nr150
1950s West Germany Battery Operated Dux Astroman Space Robot Toy & Original Box.
An early classic battery-operated remote-control robot which was made in West Germany in 1959. While the golden age was going on and Japan overwhelmed the world with their tin robots and space toys, Germany decided to build a robot made from plastic which was not common for that time. The Dux Astroman Nr.150 robot outer body is totally built out of plastic and that is what makes this robot so special but also so fragile!
The robot is controlled by a remote control which allows the robot to walk, bend over, as well as lifting/lowering & opening/closing his arms to grab things with a light (resembling his heart) in the chest. The head of the Dux Astroman is also special, it glows in the dark!
After testing the robot with batteries, it does exactly as described above and is in FULLY WORKING condition at the time of listing the item, as shown in the video provided.

Tin and plastic battery-operated robot which was made in Japan by Horikawa in 1970.
In action he walks forward at slow pace with spinning lights in his chest then stops. The unique feature is the fact that the sides of the robot including the arms partially extend from the body accordion like. These side panels begin to flex in and out slowly then increase in speed. The robot then shakes for a moment then repeats the actions. Great rotating light show and space sounds.
After testing the robot with batteries, he does exactly as described above and is in FULLY WORKING condition.
Masudaya
Giant Transport Plane with original box
1960s Masudaya Japan Tin Battery Operated Giant Transport Plane & Original Box.
VERY RARE & LARGE tin battery-operated U.S Air Force toy plane that was made in Japan by Masudaya in 1963.
This is a real beauty, and an absolute must have for any serious toy plane collector.
There are two variations of this plane, one is friction powered and one is battery operated. This is the much rarer battery operated version.
The lithographed finish resembles the livery used on C-130s that fly to Antarctica to support the National Science Foundation, equipped with skis and JATO (jet assist take-off) rockets.
All those flight deck windows give the pilots excellent visibility, and its engine nacelles have lithographed “cowl flaps” that resemble those used for piston engines, rather than the turboprops fitted to real-life Hercules.
The wingspan is proportionate to the fuselage length, unlike the proportions of plastic toy C-130s from Processed Plastics and Galoob, which have shortened wings.
In action the plane lights up its main cockpit, engines start and propellers rotate and the the plane taxi's along. You can adjust the front wheel to either run in a circle left or right or move straight on. After a while the engines and propellers shut down and the plane comes to a stop before restarting the process again.
After testing the plane with batteries, it does exactly as described above and is in FULLY WORKING condition.
Yonezawa
Smoking Robot
1950s Yonezawa Japan Tin Battery Operated Spaceman Smoking Robot Space Toy.
VERY RARE tin battery-operated smoking robot which was made in Japan by Yonezawa in the late-1950s.

After testing the robot with batteries, it does exactly as described above and is in working condition but please note, the light in his head dome only lights up, and does not rotate, we believe this may be a replacement bulb. The red eyes also appear to be replacement bulbs but they light up and flash as expected and he STILL SMOKES!!!
