It’s amazing how an action figure from 1984 that has a thick piece of rubber holding it’s legs to it’s waist and more moving parts than a radio can survive 26 years in such great condition.
Roboto from Masters of the Universe or He-Man as most of us called it back in the day; is the original with 1984 molded on the back of his head.
Roboto’s joints–legs, arms, neck and waist are all tight and appear as new out of the box. His three weapons, the axe, laser and pincer are all perfect and fit tight to his right arm as though they were never attached.
Turning Roboto’s waist causes his gear system to move and for his “mouth” to operate up and down.
This 1984 Roboto was a great find and his condition allows him to stand near the modern 2010 MOTU Classic’s Roboto in the glass cabinet–What an honor!
I’ve read that Roboto was actually a product created in a contest for designing the next Masters of the Universe figure and he was the winning figure–good idea and a great vintage toy.
