Yonezawa - Mr Atomic

Whenever I find a robot it gives me a special feeling but my heartrate went over 170 when I bumped ( and not go :) into this fantastic robot.

Mr Atomic is a special robot in many ways. Produced by Yonezawa and distributed by Cragstan in the golden age in Japan . There are 2 versions known of this unique robot: one in silver that makes a beeping/clicking sound ( this example ) and one in blue which makes a whistling sound. Both the versions belong to the most scarce robots build in the sixties but the blue version seems more difficult to find and is even more scarce.

The reason that makes this robot so special, rare and much searched for has several reasons. In the time this robot was produced the design was years ahead to the excisting robots. Mr Atomic was a very futuristic kind of robot those days and not many children seems to like it resulting in low sales. In short: this robot did not sell very well.( just like the famous gang of five robots by the way). Lets face it.... This robot is INDEED strange, its all head and no torso, or.... is it all torso and no head ?? I showed the robot to my 6 year old son: "nice rocket dad :)"  He did never show much intrest in this robot, he likes it but thats about it. ( buzz lightyear impresses him much more :)

This silver Mr Atomic is an original Yonezawa version in excellent condition. The robot is 100 % original and shows only normal playwear which gives this robot its vintage charm. There are NO cracks to the clear dome and Mr Atomic really works perfectly with bump & go action, its famous lightpanel, clicking sound and tapping feet. The batterycompartment is clean.

A great original example of this famous robot that belongs in every collection but I doubt if there are enough left. Very rare and scarce robot in any condition.
