Congratulations Steve that you got these special Robots.

I have had the chance to see them all in person last year in Japan and they are just great.
They have a unique design and are well created and done.

Even they are not "Toys" they are like art figures, catching the same look and feeling like the old toy robots.
I would have loved to get at least one of them but at present they have been out of my reach ( and I came about one week too late to Japan, otherwise, who knows !)

You are right, Henk would have loved them just like we do.

Keep them well in your collection and give them a special place.

Have a nice trip to Botstock, I will send out greetings in a special topic tomorrow here from Japan !

I love that guy's work. Are they making the trip to Botstock?

Unfortunately Tinman93 these poor guys are still suffering from "jetlag" from their Japan trip and need some downtime.

In reality I'm very paranoid about taking major pieces out of my house.

Very nice. I cruised through the old links and it looks like the original page is still up showing nice photos all the robots with multiple shots of many to show front/back and/or the features.

Ken, any talk that any of these might see their way into production? An truly inspired original new robot (paying proper tribute to the past as these do) would really be something!

BTW, the Google Translation on this is delightful.
