Robot Commando - 1960



Robot Commando - 1960
Originally uploaded by rightkeyrepair.

Roger found this vintage Robot Commando from Ideal in an antique store window. The Robot Commando toy, introduced around 1960, was pretty tall - about 20 inches, and featured eyes that moved as if it was actually scanning the terrain.
