This Chrome Planet Robot looks like he came out of a 50's sci-fi movie. He is chrome-plated tin, and you wind him up with a key. As he walks forward, sparks fly inside his face mask. He has an on-off switch. He measures 10 3/4 inches tall. Part of the Schylling Collector Series. For adult collectors only. For decoration only. This is not a toy.

I bought this and got amazed how beautiful it really is. I just love those retro-future replicas of robots... as they were imagines in the 50's and 60's. And this one looks beautiful when you open the box and hold it in your hands.

It comes with a key for winding... and starts walking.

Unfortunately, these robots are VERY FRAGILE and should not be given to a child!!! It may break easily into small pieces that can hurt a child or be swallowed.

As I say on the title, this is for grownups and collectors... and NOT for kids. And I stress this because these robots are indeed beautiful and I have no doubts many kids will want one... and get disappointed because of how little it does and how fragile it is.

Highly recommended for collectors. This is one of a whole line of retro robots made by Schylling aimed at collectors. Check them because they are all beautiful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Retro-Windup Robot Robby, May 28, 2008

This review is from: Schylling Chrome Planet Robot (Toy)

I wanted something to give the hint of Retro Sci-fi movies and that is what I got. With just a touch of imagination I'm watching "Forbidden Planet". The only detraction are the hands, a little more detail would have been welcomed. My "Robby" stands next to a "Gort" and "Bender" windup robots all of approximately the same height. It makes a fine gathering.

Much more a collectable than a toy, this robot looks very nice with its chrome-like finish. The wind up mechanism is just fair, but the robot is not really meant to walk around much. Decent value for the price.
