Title: [ID: Mister Brain] 1970s robot toy
Post by: Candice on Wednesday 26 January 2011, 02:52 am

Hi all, got a tough one for you. It's a "boy toy", so this may not be the right spot for it haha. My dad had a robot toy in the very early 70s and I'm curious about what it may have been. He describes it as being hard plastic and "boxy" with a square blue head and square white body. It blew smoke from a smokestack on top of its head and may have had wheels under its feet or tracks for feet. He said he knows it took D batteries. Does anyone know anything like this?

I have two small versions of those.
A blue one, and a red one.
I've had them forever!
I don't know if they are from the same brand
but they look very similiar with also wheels underneath and when you
make them roll they release sparks.
Very nice to see!
