I collect toy robots.
- 21-May-2016
Acquired at Planet Books in Long Beach. Don’t know the name or the age but I sure like this bot. - 18-May-2016
New Bot Wednesday! Another Q Pop acquisition. This is Mad Baron! He was designed by Zollmen and hails from Japan. Vinyl Artist Gacha series 3. - 17-May-2016
New Bot Day! Raideen (εθ γ©γ€γγ£γΌγ³) hails from 1975 Japanese tv. Like many of my bots I first encountered him in the Philippines. When I saw the Shogun Warriors back in the States I was happy they brought him over but mystified why they changed the spelling of his name to Raydeen. I picked up this superdeformed rendering of him at Q Pop Shop @qpopshop in Little Tokyo. #Raideen - 14-May-2016
Scarcely a visit to Little Tokyo without a bot photo. Astro Boy is sold out. - 14-May-2016
Just because I’m not taking him home doesn’t mean I don’t love him. Farewell little plush robot. - 03-May-2016
The Big Guy & Rusty are my jam. This week. - 16-Apr-2016
SPACE BATTLE SPACE ROBOT was too tall for the collection, regrettably. Pretty good for a drugstore robot though. I believe I’ve made it clear I’m always low key robot hunting. Thankfully the rules for collecting are strict and I’m picky. - 08-Apr-2016
Now here’s a good omen: I was driving down Mira Mesa Blvd and caught this little robot out of the corner of my eye. Love it! - 29-Mar-2016
Getter Liger & the other Getter Bots all have great machinder designs but I have a hard time keeping their names straight. - 28-Mar-2016
Birthday mug. Birthday robot. Getter Liger acquired this weekend. - 26-Mar-2016
Also not purchased but quite nice: A Fembot from Austin Powers & Bishop from Aliens. - 26-Mar-2016
Blast From The Past in Burbank sure has some fun stuff for the middle-aged toy nerd. I walked out with the fellow on the left: Getter Liger. A late birthday gift to myself and quite nice. I already have an Iron Giant and for the price that little Cylon didn’t bowl me over. Such nice things! - 25-Mar-2016
Here’s to cuties. - 20-Mar-2016
Yesterday was tops. Tomorrow’s even better. 46 here I am. - 18-Mar-2016
Second String Bots of the Week - 18-Mar-2016
Today’s Top 9 Bots. Next time I see them I’ll be 46. - 10-Mar-2016
Me, WALL-E & Doreamon wish Diana a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! - 04-Mar-2016
Bad Guy Day with Bots: ED-209, King Joe, Terminator, Imperializer & chibi Mechagodzilla! - 01-Mar-2016
B-9 Class M-3 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot joins other 50s & 60s style bots for New Bot Tuesday! - 22-Feb-2016
Enforcement Droid 209 comes from RoboCop (1987). ED-209 is incompetently designed and hilariously deadly. New Bot Monday has never been scarier. - 17-Feb-2016
Buddies! New Bot Wednesday includes BB-8 meeting Artoo. - 17-Feb-2016
Time to go to work. #bb8 - 11-Feb-2016
Data joins the bots! One of the most asked-about absences from my collection has been added. #StarTrek - 08-Feb-2016
New Bot Monday! Planet Robo Danguard Ace (ζζγγ γγ³γ¬γΌγA (γ¨γΌγΉ) who I met in 1978 in the Philippines and became a Shogun Warrior in the US when I got home. Great design.
