ASC – Tremendous Mike

Mike was made in the late fifties by ASC in Japan… made in 2 variations, grey and orange. Made out of tin with a clockwork mechanism that provides forward action and a mechanism that changes the direction, sparks and rotating antenna on top of the robots head.

The robot is made out of tin and runs on a clockwork mechanism with sparks in his chest. Mike is for sure one of the most sought after robots from the early sixties ! Hard to find in any condition and not many survived time.

I found this robot recently in Italy where it was part of a small toy collection. Surprisingly this was the only Robot in that toy collection, the rest were cars, and trucks and stuff like that. The seller contacted me long time ago about this robot.. than did not hear from him for weeks and suddenly the deal could proceed ! 🙂 just like the good old days…

Mike is in absoluut excellent to near mint condition and only show some minor wear.. , works fine and even sparks a bit. the antenna is original and not that often you will be able to find this robot with the original antenna… but its getting even better.. The robot also comes with its original box in excellent condition as well.
The box has some minor old tape repairs, mostly done to the side panels where there were some repaired tears. The toplid front is close to perfect and overall its an above average scarce box for this robot.  Together a very very nice combination that is not passing by too often these days anymore…

Extremely rare and scarce combination that is missing in most collections… hard to find in this condition !
