ROTAT-O-MATIC COCKPIT ROBOT

Here's a new tin robot from Osaka Tin Toy Institute. Many of these newer tin robots are made to look like vintage antique toy robots, except that the new ones tend to run very smoothly, which is nice. But nothing can replace the uniqueness or amazement that an actual antique robot has that still works after 40 or 50 years. And even though this guy is new, he's retailing for at least $195 right now. Although I'm not a fan of the Rotate-o-matic styled robots, this one is really cool because of the little pilot man inside the robot's light-up chest. Some of these newer reproduction robots have a lot of cool new features that the old one's didn't have. Watch the video.
