Manufactured by the HaHa Toy Factory - the leading manufacturer of Vintage Style Robots!  Robot Island is the only retailer that imports all of its Tin Toys direct from the factory so you are guaranteed a brand new Robot.  All of our Robots are produced in the same manner as they were in the 1950's and 60's by primitive stamping machines and then each hand assembled.  Each Robot has its own unique character. It is normal for some minor rubs or marks to occur during this original method of hand assembly.
