Horikawa – Mr Patrol Prototype.

Mr Patrol is the hardest to find variation in this series of Horikawa Robots. Made in Japan in the early sixties.  Mr Patrol is the robot with the most gizmo`s and therefore the one that could get broken easily. with walking action, siren sound, moving arms, flashing lights and meters in his chest that move up and down.
Made in 2 variations by the way, as astronaut ( this one ) and as robot version.

Ever wondered why they made robot and astronaut versions ! ?  Kids would use 2 then and use the astronaut to battle with the robot or vice versa 🙂
also the NEW ACTION TOY for the next year was easy to make this way 🙂

BUT…. This one is different because the face shield in the robots head, the astronauts face, its hand painted by Miyazawa and came from his sons workshop, Shinji Miyazawa.  Absolute stunning and it still amazes me how on earth this can be done with paint by hand..

This is exactly how our robots were created in the first fase.. by hand, by artists 😉
The robot itself is a “standard” Mr Patrol, I could not find any other specialities other than the battery door ( but that’s a production door ) and of course the handpainted faceshield.
Overal robots condition is excellent with a crack in the front shield ( hardly visible in the pictures but its there ) Robot works fine by the way with all the actions..

Absolute unique and one of a kind..!
Prototype of Mr. Patrols face ! how cool
