(comment) We always present the best examples of the tin robots made in Japan and acknowledged worldwide, so for many this robot might look too plain at first glance. But there were too few large-scale robots on the market.About 1000 of them were produced, and due to the low popularity, they stopped making more.There also have been 1000 copies of the "Mighty 8", but most part of them have been exported abroad (mainly to the USA). It walks with ticking sound, while shaking its hands.There are red, blue and yellow light gimmicks on the chest, it looks like the light is expanded and contracted by the body rotation.The monochrome picture on the side of the top box reminds us of the early days of the developing tin robot culture of the 60s.
