Look what I found! I think this is an original Thunder Robot from the 1960's. Check out the other cool Tin Robots on this website. I have always loved Robots, from the early guys on Star Trek, Lost in Space, and Star Wars, to the current awesome badness of Cameron on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Robots ROCK! So I was really pleased to discover this fine fellow, Thunder Robot is available in a re-released that looks pretty fine. His antenna spins, he walks and flashes a light through the window in his head and eyes, arms raise and fire cannons while flashing and vibrating. I feel the need for some additional shelving is on the horizon. A nice set of Tin Robots along side the Uglydolls would be delightful. Hey, maybe David Horvath will make his Ugly Robot into a Tin Robot. How could it be better than that?
