Hint for Robby Robot

Many of Mechanized Robot was repaired with reproduction parts, and very few has 100% originals. Especially Head doom was replaced many of them. Between original Head doom and reproduction one has different figure of tab on front fixture.

Market price of Mechanized Robot is over 150,000JPY regardless conditions, so that cheaper one may have serious damages and difficult to repair.。

Piston Action Robot has re painted one in market, because price is higher for gold color. Any damages on Head plastic doom is serious problem because may not found repair parts.

Dead stock of Planet Robot is available in market, so it is good timing to get it for future values increase. However these dead stocks are all sold out.

About Reproduction model

Robby's reproduction models are well manufactured and good finishing, but these are no antic value for collectors.

When Reproduction one became old after 50 years and just get old, but never become antic one. So that reproduction one is good for using as display or play for Kids. Original one is only keeping its value forever as antics, so that get original one regardless conditions.

It is only value.

However It is different story for reproduction boxes. Box is sometime same value to Robot itself. Because Boxes can not repair or difficult to keep original conditions. So that Boxes have certain value with original Robot even if reproduction one. It add value to Robot itself as same as to using reproduction parts for repair..

Value is increasing !!

Robby robot is still keep lots of fun and demand is higher than any other tin toys , so that market value keep increasing last 10 years. Recently complete model is selling over $12,000.
