Fun thread Jim!
Here's a TPS wind-up inspired by Horikawa's series of robots.
TPS isn't known for robot toys but they are one of my favorite tin toy companies.
I posted lots more pics and info on them on my site.

Thanks! Here he is in action - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzUzu44J2vw (The batteries seem to be almost drained, so he moves a little slow...) Every single robot you've posted is insanely great! I'm such a sucker for crazy vintage robots, I could stare at these all day...

The flip tops are some of my favorite designs ever! There were a couple at Morphy's...and even though I don't really collect 'em, I couldn't help drooling over them through the glass cases!
