| These toys are considered retro with the advent of modern technology
and electronics but the simplicity and sheer fun can't be denied and
are ever popular. The robots are reproductions of the old originals
from the 50's and 60's. Some windups are of popular cartoon characters
and a few are high tech original creations using the old tech wind
up mechanisms. |
