Toy Story<br />
I, Robot: a rare example of the 1950 American<br />
Meccano ‘Mechanical Man’ or ‘Robo’ with<br />
working motor enabling ‘Robo’ to swing<br />
his arms and rotate his head as he ‘walks’.<br />
Rewired and fully operational, American, circa<br />
1950s. Ref 4891<br />
Height overall: 38 inches (97 cms).<br />
26<br />
Note: the cinematic release of Isaac Asimov’s<br />
‘I, Robot’ in 1950 stimulated interest in spacerelated<br />
artefacts including toys. Toys such as<br />
‘Robo’ pre-date the tin Japanese toy robots by<br />
a decade and are considerably more scarce.<br />
