Zem Were the Days!

Hey Woodsie, i was cleaning up my garage and I came across cardboard box labelled TRAD. ROBOTS!

Inside was a whole bunch of things and I thought the Moonbasers would be interested in a sampling. No captions, I'm sure everyone can ID this stuff in their sleep!

    1. Even rarer(?) It's a Takara sonic controlled R2! It shoots flying discs from the slot atvthe front and is fed by the circular hole on the top!

    Hi Bill, the Artoo is a Kenner Sonic Control R2-D2 which you can operate using the clicker device seen in the photo. The silver bodied figure with the green head, is Zem 21 from Ideal's 'Star Team' line which was an attempt to get some cash from the Star Wars merchandising boom in the 70s. Funnily enough, he had a partner who was a Zeroid who Woodsy was covering recently, but half the size so as to give an R2 & 3PO vibe. Lots of information on this line on the web, check out 'Plaidstallions for some good info.
