Mechanized Robot made by Nomura Toys Japan in 60's ,as known as Robby.
It may not have value of Five Gangs nor rareness of Thunder Robot.
However, Robby is still holding The Name of Tin Robot, because of outstanding
mechanism as well as called "Mechanized Robot".
Sole and Pride of Nomura's Robot craftsmanship made it.
It is amazing product ! very sophisticated, the best finishing, very gimmick and it is surly beyond the Toys.
This level of Robot have never been made in Toy market, So it truly say "Robot collection start from Robby and end by Robby".
Many type of Robby robot are produced by various Toy venders, but most of them are quite valuable in Market.
Definitely in past or future, No Tin Toy Robot exist to be more than Robby

This Roller mechanism is only for Robby and no other Robots has such a
complex one.
Roller is aging and need to replace, but it is quite troublesome task。
Here is Roller mechanism. It is build by thick metal, so it is a bit hard
to replace Roller. Robby is not cheap toys and build as real mechanical features. I see the Sprits of Robot Craftsmanship to build it as something special. |

to replace with new one as expected. However, there is no re-production part available for Roller, so that I must find something alternatives. Searching alternatives, but it is very difficult to find right one. |
