Sweet thank you!
I've had this for years and never knew it was to anything, got it out of a Coin-Op in the late 80s and thought it was just a random Robot desgin. Thanks for the info.

I love old toys. XD Me and a friend of mine sort of have a weird hobby, we're both really in to collecting vintage items. In particular vintage action figures. XD That's probably the reason why my room is so full....
Cool pic!

Well at least you were able to find a few. That really, really sucks.
Yeah, it's crazy how expensive some things are. There is an old vintage series of British made knights that I like to collect but after a year since I started buying them the prices sky rocketed. Now it's $50 for one miniature figure.
It reminds me how the original superman comic goes for about $3 million on ebay.

I would never in my life (even if I was a billionaire) waste that much money on a comic book. XD

I like pictures of old-but-not-so-old toys, they often have that cute-ugly quality about them... I'd love to see more shots of this little guy! Thank you for sharing
