I love Or.
I've posted about the little alien a few times over the years. He's a bit of a blog legend.
Basically Or was the never-produced mini-alien friend of Major Matt Mason. He was to have his own spinning space disk too.
I first came across Or in the 90's in my toy bible Toys of the Sixties.
I saw it in colour for the first time in Space Toys of the Sixties.
The first time I ever saw what Or and its Orbitor might look like in the flesh was Frank May's custom model showcased on the brilliant Wildtoys site.
So I was thrilled this year to see another custom Or model on the net on a well known auction site. Made by a Canadian modeller in Quebec, Frenchboomer, I like the disc's simplicity, the tubular dome and the classic Or look.
Having seen Or again I realise that he sort of reminds of a toy robot I've been noticing for years on the net, the Dancing Robot! Only sort of!
Have you come across Or or anything like it before readers?
