http://www.opamerica.com Presenting a vintage Horikawa Space Astronaut battery operated toy robot with original box! C.1964. Made in Japan. Made of tin with plastic arms and feet. No rust and broken parts. In great shape! Some very light scuffs. Battery compartment is free from corrosion. When I put in two size D batteries, the chest opened up and had a TV screen with scenes of outerspace. Then the chest would close and the toy would walk forward.
Measures a full 11 1/4" inches tall.

In the 60s I had a similar astronaut type except it had 2 guns in the chest area and spun around (rotate-o-matic) after every 10 steps or so. Wish I had kept it. They now sell for big bucks on ebay.

Your right! In Japan, the Japanese made awesome battery operated toys in the late 1950s and thru out the 1960s! Those toys were awesome!!!
