    Rascal Robots

    Rascal Robots by Tomy were such a "right place/right time" creation. Awesome wind up robots that fit in with your Star Wars "guys"? Who wouldn't want that?




    Personally I liked to pretend mine was IQ9 from "Star Blazers".

    Wow, I had one of those. I never would've remembered without seeing this I'm sure. Thanks for stirring up yet another memory.

      I think I had the red one. The animals look familiar. I seem to recall having the squirrel.

          I remember having the robot with the red dome, no idea where I got him though.

            They have, but not in those colors. I've also seen them in different sizes, too. They are usually found in gift shops, candy stores, hobby shops, knick-knack shops, etc.
            I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.

                  These guys are also the stars of a rather well-done and fun short film called Separated as well.

                    Cool! I had the wind up robot with the red arms and feet. Nice to see the little guy again after so many years.

                        Those are delightful. I had the red dome robot too! (had it for many years)

                        I also owned a wind-up Zod thing with four legs and a little pilot in it's head.

                        I used it as a miniature Star Wars At-At.

                          I had those as a kid. I think they are adorable.
                          You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                            I had one and was fascinated. He had adventures with my Star Wars figures too.
