1960s Yonezawa Japan Tin Wind Up Moon Robot aka Ribbon Head Robby & Original Box.

Tin wind-up robot which was made in Japan by Yonezawa in 1960.

In action he advances with walking motion as the multi-coloured ribbons inside his head turn.

Stamped with ‘Y’ logo and ‘Made in Japan’ on the body between the legs. The dome is clear plastic with a distinct pink tinge, a unique feature of this robot. 

After testing the wind-up functionality, the robot moves forward and the ribbons inside his head turn, but he no longer sparks through the red gel mouthpiece.

The overall condition of this robot for its age is very good showing usual expected signs of minor play wear and a few small scratches. His original hard rubber ball hands are great considering these are prone to cracking. Please note there are two cracks on his original head dome, one by the original small side screw and one at the back from the rear screw hole.

The robot is accompanied by its ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL BOX WITH INSERT. The overall condition of the box is also very good for its age with only minimal signs of wear, small tear and creasing to corners, ends and sides. The graphics are clean and bright. The insert is slightly distorted but houses the robot perfectly.

The original box for this robot is incredibly hard to find and is highly sort after.

Approx. 26.5cm tall.
