SUPER LOOKING VINTAGE TINPLATE ASTRONAUT/SPACEMAN/ROBOT HUGE SIZE AT APPX. 13 INCH/33 CM TALL tinplate construction,with super litho printed design. displays at rear "MADE IN JAPAN" c.1950's/ early 60's i can't see any maker's name...but i have been told its by Nomura / Rosko ?? i searched ebay to try to find something similar;but only thing i could see was a red astronaut ? (item # 282579794895). old toy makes an incredibly impressive display piece. lovely bright litho printed design....very 1950's sci-fi looking two rear oxygen tanks,either side of his OFF-ON switch has a battery compartment at each leg...super clean inside...compartment latches lock with some careful handling/positioning of doors. SPACE TOYS ARE NOT REALLY MY THING....but from looking him over,he appears period original....with a  transparent and definitely old helmet (has some age marks,with couple short stress lines at lower front,near an inner securing catch). inside helmet there appears to be a bulb/light at front lower left side ? great litho detail of astronaut's face he would appear to be missing a simple spring antenna, on one side of the helmet I HAVE HIM AS A DECORATIVE DISPLAY PIECE....HE IS VERY OLD...TRIED PUTTING BATTERIES IN HIS LEGS,BUT VERY DIFFUCULT TO GET IN ? (MODERN BATTERY SIZES?)...SO NOT WANTING TO RISK FORCING/DAMAGING...I HAVE NOT TESTED ANY BATTERY FUNCTIONS. when in a standing position,i did carefully manually move his feet forward/back only very slightly......at same time,his left arm also moved in time with the leg...whilst the right arm feels freely connected ?? and can be positioned up,down ?? the arms are a sort of vinyl  material ....with one hand holding his communication radio underside of feet have four small,rubber tyre wheels HE LOOKS GREAT ON DISPLAY...very attractive colour...."electric blue",with red/yellow/green/black/silver and white detailing. the finish has kept really nice,i see a few wear marks,chips,scratch and scuffs etc.....mainly below his belt line;but certainly nothing terrible. a few spots on/around some securing tabs (mainly to his underside/between legs,and ones nearest OFF-ON switch) look to have had tiny touch-up long time ago,possibly factory made(as i've just seen same on another example). he looks to be in great rust free shape THIS IS CERTAINLY AN OLD VINTAGE ASTRONAUT ROBOT TOY......NOT  A MODERN REPRODUCTION. i've added all the images i can,to hopefully show the honest/accurate condition...please take a good close look for yourself,as these pictures also form the description...and i am selling my BIG ASTRONAUT as is/as shown and without returns....thanks. please remember he is UNTESTED...and therefor sold as a vintage static display piece.       BEST OFFER LISTING...............ALL OFFERS WELCOME & CONSIDERED if you need any extra images,or have questions...please just ask. international delivery is listed at £65 for an expedited service..such as DHL EXPRESS,or similar (any over payments will be refunded,once posted)....UK delivery is by next-day service...INCLUDED FREE. sorry,delivery to full street address only...no PO BOXES.
