 Re: big chunky robots
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. http://ralphcosentino.com/2010/04/tps-1 ... ile-robot/

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...

 Re: big chunky robots
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!
