Alps’ 1960 Rocket Man Robot epitomizes the style and innovation of its time. Controlled by a two-button remote and standing nearly 17 inches tall with antenna, with light blue metal arms, legs, and body, and featuring a grey plastic head that opens to reveal an tinplate astronaut, the Rocket Man is a striking example of Alps robot lineup at their creative best.
What sets the Rocket Man apart is that it is loaded with features – from walking with illuminated eyes and ears to a spinning antenna atop its head, the robot exudes a sense of dynamic motion. Lift its armor, and its lithographed astronaut face is revealed, adding yet another dimension. Equipped with kaleidoscopes in its chest, a countdown clock, and firing plastic rockets, every detail adds up to make it one of the most action packed toys ever.
