first and only vintage german robot with clear body and helmet made in 1960
with remote-controlled functions: walking. moving arms and lightning.
too expensive to adopt right away, but very nice. :D

That clear green robot is highly sought after here in america. It is strikingly original compared the legions of derivative tin robots.

The green robot is super cool! Anyone know the story behind this robot???

I'm very curious as to what's up with the scrubber looking things it has for hands...and also the lift-up crotch area...what the heck is under there?

I must know.

sorry for late reply!
nothin under lift-up crotch area.
its technically needed as upper body bends all the way down
to grab addtional little plastic boxes with its soft scrubber hands (that move from inside to outside)
very nice. :D

also found this vintage looking mickey: communist ddr bootleg? or is it a licensed one???
