Nomura - Astronaut

Its funny to see when you take a close look at this robot that you can see things you saw before.... the dome.... isnt that the dome of robby the robot, the famous robot also build by nomura ? and the batteries build in the legs, yes also the same ones...
Here is the story: when a robot ( read robby )finished its marketrun Nomura didnt want to simply throw away the molds of this robot, they just used them to create a "new"  robot, and "voila"  Nomura`s Astronaut was born. Build on the molds of the famous robby platform. The result was a stunning robot and one of the more desirable toys of the sixties.

During operation, the astronaut walks forward, then stops, raises his arm and " speaks " silently into his flashing and beeping walkie talkie. When the communication is over, the robot starts walking again. There are 2 versions known, a bleu version with a dark hear astronaut , and a red version with a blond astronaut.

The legendary Rosko - Nomura astronaut is in full working condition with all the talking and beeping. There is no rust and the dome has no cracks. Though the astronaut has been played with and there is some paintloss on several places as shown in the pictures. Both the battery compartments are clean and rustfree. There is no box, sorry.

This Nomura - Rosko Astronaut is one of the most desirable and searched for robots of the sixties, hard to find robot.
