1977 Mr. Machine Robot
$89.00 $71.20
Year: 1977
Manufacturer: Ideal
Condition: Very good condition
First edition vintage collectable
Ideal Toy Company manufactured the original Mr. Machine as a kit which could be assembled by kids. Unique for it’s time, Mr. Machine was made of injection moulded plastic, a new technique which allowed manufacturers to produce parts quickly and less expensively, including a clear body.
In 1977, Ideal re-issued Mr. Machine as an assembled toy. This is the first generation assembled version, with parts riveted together. It has a copyright date with the patent number stamped into the plastic. Mr. Machine stands just under 18″ tall and is in great shape. His wind-up key works and he rolls forward with a squeaking and whirring noise as his internal gears spin around. Cog-a-riffic! Mr. Machine is a clever, well designed toy that looks great sitting on the shelf or rolling across the floor! It’s a one of a kind toy and there aren’t many working ones left out there.

1991 Super Soakerman in box
Year: 1991
Manufacturer: Laramie
Condition: Excellent condition
First edition vintage collectable
Millions of Supersoakers have been sold since 1990. This is a hard to find Soakerman and the first Supersoaker to depart from the traditional gun design. Soakerman’s arms and legs are articulated and his head turns. The water is pressurized by pumping Soakerman’s head up and down a dozen times or so, and he’s ready to go. He’s 9 1/2″ tall and extends to 12″ with the head pump up. He’s armed with his own classic Supersoaker that shoots a strong solid blast of water by pressing the trigger on his right bicep. See video below.
The box is 12″ x 8″ x 2 1/2″ in very good condition, printed in vivid bright early 90’s colors. Soakerman is strapped into the box in his original restraints. We dare you to set him free! Item was removed from original packaging to put in batteries and for photography.

1985 Lost in Space B-9 Robot Japanese Wind-Up
Year: 1985
Manufacturer: Masudaya Japan
Condition: Mint condition robot in very good condition box
Second edition vintage collectable
For the 20th anniversary of Lost in Space, Japanese toy maker Masudaya created this 1985 edition of the famous robot from the series. In the USA he’s known as “B-9” or just “Robot”, but in Japan he’s known as YM-3. He measures 4 1/2” tall from his clear bubble dome down to his treads, painted in the original silver, red and black finish. Wind him up and he rolls along.
The box measures 2 1/4” x 2 5/8” x 4 3/4” tall and both the inside and outside box are printed with artwork. The box has a wrinkled lower edge on one side, but it’s in great shape for giving or collecting. The box has a color guide for painting the buttons and sensors to complete the look, although this one has the original finish and has not been painted. Also includes an advertising insert with other Masudaya toys, written in Japanese. Very cool.

1970’s Brushy the Floating Robot in box
Year: 1970’s
Manufacturer: Unknown
Condition: Very good condition robot
First edition vintage collectable
Here’s a novel robot for collectors or just for fun! Brushy the Floating Robot is actually a made up name, because the package says just “Robot” which is not very clever. Brushy is about 5 1/2″ tall, has a radar dish on his head, wheel gears for arms, and a 3 arm wrench on his chest. His most unique feature is his feet. Instead of wheels or legs, Brushy has (let’s say it together) BRUSH for feet! They’re basically bristles like you’d find on a hairbrush. So how does a robot with brushes for feet move? Flip the switch and Brushy starts vibrating and floating around.. See video below.
The box is 3 1/2″ x 3″ x 5 1/2″ and is in good condition, no rips or tears, just some aging and shelf wear.
