Stuff I Own, Vol. 23: Robot
Here is a little wind-up robot from the 1970s I bought just recently. I spent a portion of last year during Plague boredom poking around ebay looking for old toys I remember once owning, and I came across a bunch of these little wind-up robots for, like five bucks. So I bought one. You could always find these in the toy aisle at the K-mart when I was a kid, and I had a bunch of them. They came in a variety of color schemes, but I always liked the chrome one with the blue lid best.
This guy is about an inch and a half tall, and he weighs nothing. His winder doesn't work great, but that only adds to the nostalgia, because they never worked great.
