 Haji Space Trooper - Super Score! Just found this vintage tin Space Trooper yesterday in a random hole-in-the-wall Midwest antique store. Sure it has some rust and is missing the gun and box, but still totally awesome! Made by Haji in Japan, circa 1956.

Re: Haji Space Trooper - Super Score! thanks guys! i'm super excited about this score, especially finding it in such a random place and for such a steal
its funny, i'm not a tin toy collector by any means but i have always been intrigued by pics of old tin robots and the like... but they go for crazy bucks which pretty much keeps me away. when i saw this in the antique store i knew it looked super familiar, either way i had to have it.. too rad to pass up.
sure enough i checked when i got home and there was one that sold in the morphy auction recently (in much better condition). i had actually saved the auction picture to my computer just because it looked cool, now i have the actual toy a month later!

Re: Haji Space Trooper - Super Score! That's just so damn cool! Yeah I gotta' go w/ rust = cooler.
Somewhere online is Glenn Barr's collection of tin toys you might get a Kick out of.
