Tomy Green NTT Shaberoku - MIB - Display Only

Throughout the 1980's Tomy made innumerable corporate promotional robots, from Coke and Pepsi through to Donut Boys, it seemed every company wanted a cheap robotic ambassador. Like a slightly more technical form of the corporate pen. And many featured not merely the addition of a bland logo: but new accessories, body parts and paint jobs. This rare example was commissioned by the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Company (NTT) and is a Shaberoku (Mr. D.J.) recoloured in bold Green.

Tomy Coca Cola Chatbot - MIB - £200

This is a rare Coca-Cola Chatbot (a.k.a Happy Can Can Yu-U-Zu), made by Tomy in the 1980's. He is in excellent condition and comes in his original box with polystyrene insert, tray, twirly antenna, coke can remote and documentation unique to this release. This was made on special commission for The Coca-Cola Company and released in Japan in very small quantities. He has been tested and is fully working. A very obscure and funky looking robot and one of the best pieces of product merchandise I've ever seen!
