Chief Robotman of Retrofire writes with news of two classic robot toys that are being re-released: just thought I'd suggest a near and dear couple of classic robots that are being reintroduced. Those of my years remember these guys well. I'm a collector as well, and its nice to see these guys out again. Both "Mr. Machine" and "Robert the Robot", can be purchased starting October 15th from Slinky Toys under their Ideal Classic Brand. The re-released version of these toys include reproductions of the original boxes and other goodies such as DVDs with the original TV commercials, copies of patents, or certificates of authenticity for the collector. See the Slinky Toys page for details and also the Retrofire story about the robot toy re-release. If you're interested in originals rather than reproductions, check eBay for Robert the Robot or Mr. Machine.
