However, if I remember rightly, there's a switch on the side or back of his torso which turns on the room guard. (Or maybe there's one behind his 'foot' panel.)Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-82573318087145681382017-01-18T22:46:14.319+00:002017-01-18T22:46:14.319+00:00Coincidentally, Bob May, the robot's operator,...Coincidentally, Bob May, the robot's operator, sadly died on this day in 2009 aged 69.SCOOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17481423869059986451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-63311301946799101712017-01-18T22:33:48.979+00:002017-01-18T22:33:48.979+00:00Thanks Woodsy, I'm sure there'll be a few ...Thanks Woodsy, I'm sure there'll be a few collectors out there who've got 'em all.

I very nearly bought one of these Trendmasters robots in the Yorkshire Trading Post in Whitby where they had stacks of them discounted in the late Nineties. Wish I had now! I wonder how it compares stood next to the other three toy versions, Masudaya, Remco and Ahi. Maybe one of our readers has them all!WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-68414745578936354122017-01-18T22:26:05.000+00:002017-01-18T22:26:05.000+00:00I've just checked the robot, Kid and he says &...I've just checked the robot, Kid and he says "My sensors indicate an intruder is present" so yes, your being pedantic, ha,ha!;D Only joking. To be honest I've long since lost the box and any instructions so I can't for the life of me remember how the room guard aspect of it works.Is it a light or sound or something?SCOOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17481423869059986451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-10136753825540701722017-01-18T22:19:36.014+00:002017-01-18T22:19:36.014+00:00Thanks Tony.

(Just to be pedantic. Could be wrong 'though.) The Robot can be put on 'room guard' mode, in which the second phrase would be more apt, but for some strange reason it's the first phrase it says. I've also got a little wind up version (a Japanese toy I think), plus the reissue of the Aurora kit (which I've yet to build) - as well as a talking keyring figure as well. A great design indeed.

A shame they're no longer around.Their Godzilla toy line in the 90's got me interested in toys again.I remember being in my 20's,and my money was being spent on mundane adult stuff like rent,insurance,gas,and groceries, but those toys in the window of KayBee at the Mall made me pause and say"Where was this stuff when I was seven?Gamera,Lost in Space and ID4 were some other great lines of theirs.They canceled a King Kong line before oing out of business,what a shame!BTW, just saw online today, a new line of toys for the new Kong movie...COOL!Briannoreply@blogger.com
