I got the impression the windup mechanism would break if stressed at all. Consequently I only wound it enough to walk for about six or seven seconds. To be fair, it's not marketed as a toy, but as a collectable. It is cute, if you like robots (I certainly do). Gary Katz

After you wind it up, it moves... a little. It doesn't work very well. But I'm guessing people won't buy this with the intent of marching it around the block. If you plan to let it sit on a shelf, it's great.

I bought this toy for son since he loves tin and wind up robots which are hard to find. This one is cute and small so he can lug it around but the seperate key does not work at all on this robot so we couldn't make him walk and though his arms can be moved, I snapped them off trying to move then in a different position right off the bat. My son was hysterial so we had to super glue them on (so much for being able to return the toy). I read collectible toy on the box after I bought the toy, my son is gentle with his toys, but I expected a sturdier, working toy for $9.99 plus shipping. I am very, very disappointed. Do not buy!

Got it for my husband to set up in the house and he loves it. I would not reccomend it for a child because it will not hold out against place..it is JUST for looks :)

OK, I KNOW this is not a *toy* but I did get it for my boy. After a couple of weeks the arms were removed (but hey, my guy is almost three so I figured two weeks was pretty good!) Overall though, this little guy is well made - very heavy for the size and even w/out arms, he moves just fine.

This is a cool toy for sitting on the shelf. It looks like a collectors item. Really quite simple in terms of mechanics. Not for little people.

I love this little robot because it's cute... that's about it. It is pretty cheaply made (thus the price) and works, but would not tolerate any kind of rough play. It is perfect as a decoration or just for fun on a desk.

The mini robot was packaged nicely, no damage. More for looks than play. Winder doesn't really work to well. We still like it.

not really a toy and it is marked as such...it is mainly for collectors. I got this for my sister as a gift for her wind up collection. She loved it!!!

This robot is a great inspiration, I am starting a company and calling it "My Very Own Robot" :)
This Robot is very cute and when I think of robot, I think of this one.
I bought a robot for everyone in the company :) Good to have on their desks.
As far as material / production value:
This robot has a good weight to it, though the feet were a bit bent on some of them, it does seem very durable, but from what I hear some rough housing will easily solve that feeling. It does wind up, but I wouldn't recommend doing much with it other than having it on the desk and winding it up once a week :)
That all being said, I still think it would be a good toy. Just tell your kids to be careful with it because he will break easily, made of complex robot parts. The package says it is a collectors item and not a toy, however that is overruled by the "made in china" sticker. Wow, I am rambling, anyways it's a good ol 'bot. :)
