does that say "smoking spaceman"?
OMG its the Destructoid robot. Awesome!
Also, Happy New Year.
Nieroooooooooo, you got some 'splainin to do.
I think the creators of that toy stole the idea from niero
Gahhhh, I need one of these!
And Mr. Destructoid is based off of Smoking Robot, Scrixx ;)
wow that IS the dtoid robot! Hope we don't get sued!
Yes, Zombutler, it does say "Smoking Spaceman" he puffs out a little smoke when he stops walking and lights up his head and eyes. And this again is a replica of an old toy that was made before most of us were born. I do enjoy his company.
Great find on the smoking robot!
That is awesome, man. Thanks for sharing.
absolutely win. I will give you 1,000,000 internets for it. Or a kitten which ever comes first
DTOID!
Hey, editor peeps...
Get a hold of some of these and give them away to your loyal robots!
Please...
=)
Yeah?
that is awesome.
@ Drach. Not before Yojimbo was born. ^_^
Wow he's even the right color! That's where we got the inspiration for our logo, the 50's japanese toy "the smoking robot". It was a big thing way back in the day. We licensed a photo from Getty Images and changed it from Blue to Green and removed the crest and other little things to create Dtoid.
You should be able to find him on the net.. With some internet sleuthing, he can be yours. At a price.
I remember one of my elders having a similar toy, and when I found the site, I thought.. "Gotta find them their robo." so there he is in all his tin glory.
@Hydrotonix: I'm not old enough to remember him when he was new, but I have again seen reminisce of him when I was a child... The one I saw I believe was wind up, and threw sparks out of his mouth (I may be remembering something else with the sparks)
Thought you guys would enjoy. I'm glad you did. =)
Get me one.
Smoking robot stole my heart.
For a replica the box looks particularly cool.
DO WANT!
