Yoneya’s Space Man robot may seem simple by today’s standards, but it stands out as an enduring icon of early mid-20th-century tin toys. At 8.5 inches tall, it’s operated by a built-in key and on/off switch, and walks forward while moving its arms. While replicas of the Space Man have been reproduced over the years, originals are scarce, and acquiring them with original packaging is coveted among enthusiasts. Its appeal lies not just in its functionality but also in its classic and easily recognizable design.
