Working Masudaya SONIC ROBOT Train Gang of Five Tin Toy - $9,000 - (Clearwater, FL)

I am pleased to offer this Very Rare vintage Giant Sonic Robot Toy with a reproduction box. Considered to be one of the "holy grails" of robot collecting, this is the ultra-scarce Modern Toys/Masudaya tin Giant Sonic Robot (aka "Train" robot), manufactured in Japan in the late 1950s and very early 1960s. It is believed to be the last member of the so-called "Gang of Five," a set of skirted battery-op robots that included Sonic, along with Radicon, Target, Non-Stop and Machine Man. These robots command the top spots in the pantheon of robot collecting, and prices as high as $42,500 have been paid for them individually at auction.The robot stands an impressive 15 inches high, and is complete and all-original. There are a few light scratches. The battery compartment is clean. The colors are vibrant. All of the lenses are original, as well as the wheels. I put in three size D batteries and the toy powered right up and moved around. This robot itself absolutely guaranteed, without reservation, to be 100% authentic and vintage in every way. The box is a high quality reproduction that cast around $350 itself.Measurements: 6-1/4" long, 15-3/8" high, 8" wide. Our High Resolution Photographs are taken for your review and inspection of the item in detail. Please review and feel free to ask any question you may have.
