I haven't seen them before either, Woodsy. Wonder what decade they're from and if there are any other figures or spacecraft in the range? I'm always pleasantly surprised at how much stuff is out there which I've never seen or heard of before :)
Interesting Hugh, 1971, that's early on in the toy stakes really. Having read up a bit on these robots they were made in 1969 and it would appear that Cragstan used the same body for their Mr. Astronaut too. The sub-title on the card 'mystery mechanical marvel' reminds me of Marx's small clockwork figures called 'Mechanical Marvel Super Heroes' from 1967.
I've been going crazy trying to find out about these...I have one (2nd in from the right). Cool little robot...Press his head down and it moves him forward
