Today's Tiny Treasure: Plastic Robot with Movable Arms
Every day a photograph of one tiny item from the Michael's Museum Collection, next to a shinny new penny for scale, will be posted for your enjoyment. We look forward to your comments.

I have been searching for some of these robots for several years. I used to get them when I was a young child (1980s) from a dime vending machine. I had a small collection of them that was lost when we moved when I was 13. I would love to find some again, however this photo is the only one I have been able to locate online. If anyone has some they would be willing to part with or could point me in the right direction, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you.
JTWA, Thanks for your comments. I too love this robot. Wish I could direct you to someplace where you could add one to your own collection. Good luck in your search. Michael
