'Bot as in abbreviation of Robot obviously. I had this little fella when I was a kid, and managed to obtain a replacement a few years back, box and all. This one I got recently, no box, no key (update: managed to acquire a key), but otherwise fully functional. (So now I've got two.) For some reason I once thought it was manu-factured by MARX TOYS, but no - it's by TOMY. The arms used to remind me slightly of B-9 from LOST In SPACE - still do in fact, but that's where any resemblance ends. Any of you Criv-ites have one of this little chap's pals when you were young? Do tell.
(Incidentally, I carefully removed that little piece of 'flocking' on top of his right arm. Couldn't have him looking anything less than perfect.)
