The Nomura Earth Man tin robot represents a fascinating chapter in the history of Japanese toy manufacturing. Standing at around 9 inches tall and crafted from lithographed tin, this battery-operated remote control astronaut robot epitomizes the fascination with space exploration prevalent during the mid-20th century.

 

Powered by batteries housed in its wired remote, Earth Man walks and raises his gun. Complete with flashing lights and sound effects, this tin toy transports users to an era when space exploration captured the world’s imagination. In addition to similar robots produced by Nomura (like their red Space Man robot), it was also reproduced by Schylling in 2000.
