RARE VINTAGE SPECIALTY ITEMS & BOOKS
Vintage 1959 CHIEF ROBOTMAN, Yoshiya, Japan
In Mint Condition, 11.5 inches, the antenna's spin, head turns, lights up and bump and go stop start etc.! It is one of the most complex robots from the 60's.
One of Yoshiya's large skirted robots. Chief Robot Man is perhaps the most commonly encountered of the trio which includes Mighty Robot and Chief Smoky. It's square head, spinning antenna ears, chrome metal mouth and T-shape nose place it firmly in the classic early robot category.
This robot has a simple but very appealing bump-and-go action. The head moves quizzically from side to side, the traditional Robby-style ears rotate and the eyes light. There are no legs as such, and its movement is much more graceful than the usual robot waddle.

Tin toy mania! Now that computer games have come to stay, tin toys have become obsolete for today's children. For those of us who remember them from times past, these tin toys can transport us back to our childhoods; they call up a vision of a time we thought we had already forgotten. They also bear witness to history; they have survived wars and crises, and tell us something of the fashions, colors and tendencies of their times.
This book will be of special interest to anyone fascinated by early space travel and technology, those who simply want to wax nostalgic about a bygone era of their youth, and of course to collectors and fans of 50s and 60s tin toys. The roots of today's toys can be seen in these precursors, notably in the early transformer robots. Taken from collector Teruhisa Kitahara's vast collection, which is on display in many museums in Japan, the tin toys featured here are quite rare and give a wonderful overview of this era in the history of toys. A must for any toy lover!

Well known director Brad Bird ( also known for The Incredibles ) wanted the same shirts but he wanted it to say Warner Bros Animation ' 99 in the bottom of the picture....so he hand wrote it and he printed them on the shirt.
