    Schaper creates Tobor the robot


    Toy Fair 1978- Tobor is robot spelled backwards, that blew my seven year old mind....

    I used to have Tobor. Another thing on my long list of toys that I plan on getting back one day.

      I know I have the commercial for him on tape somewhere

        The commercial was aired during the Star Wars Holiday Special.

            The commercial was a lot cooler than the real thing. "Telesonically controlled" meant you could clap you hands together too. Watching the commercial as a child, I thought you could control it a little better.

            Having said that, I'd still like another one to sit on my shelf.

                Tobor is cool! I've got him somewhere in a Kenbrite Australia box, they had a distribution deal with Schaper that also included Playmobil.
