Description from the seller
ROBOT LOT
"Sir Jogo" Starzinger Popy - Hong Kong, (about 16 cm) - Imported and distributed in Italy in the 1980s by Ceppi Ratti.
Excellent condition. The metallic blue paint on the chest and legs is well preserved. The accessory set is complete: 3 blue tridents and all 6 red missiles to insert into the launchers, plus the original bag. The screws on the back and under the feet are clean and rust-free, and the stickers are still glossy. The chrome "Sir Jogo" inscription on the belt is perfectly visible. The shoulder launchers and the spring-loaded silver rifle are functioning.
Unfortunately it comes without a box! The collector used to discard boxes and kept the figures/robots inside glass display cases.
MOVIT – THE FANTASTIC "ROBOTS" IN KIT
A line of electronic kits sold in Italy in the early 1980s. These kits were designed for electronics and robotics enthusiasts and could also be assembled directly by the buyer. It is a photosensitive robot capable of following a black line.
Unfortunately it is not working. It does come with all the original electrical schematics (as shown in the photo), which could be used for assembly.
Technical characteristics
Period: about 1982–1985
Manufacturer: MOVIT (Italy)
Power: 9 V battery
Motors: 2 DC motors
Control: analog electronics (no microprocessor)
Distributor: Texim Italia
MOVITs are sought after by both toy enthusiasts and vintage Italian electronics fans.
Produced in limited quantities.
"Gommini dei Transformers G1 - five characters" (about 4.5 cm), original Japanese, produced by Takara in the mid-1980s. The back of the figures clearly bears the Katakana Takara logo, the historic company that created Transformers, and on the chest the Cybertron (Autobot) emblem is clearly visible.
We have: 2 figures “Grimlock, the leader of the Dinobots, 1 figure "IronHide (or Ratchet)", 1 figure "Prowl (or Bluestreak/Smokescreen)", 1 figure "Jazz".
Very good condition. They are not discolored, have no stains, and the tiny weapons in the hands are still perfectly intact and not broken. The original Takara mark is stamped on every figure.
"Sonic Rangers or Robot Warriors" (about 4.5 cm), 12 small plastic robots. The line's name changed depending on the country where they were marketed. Produced by SOMA (a noted Hong Kong/China company famous in the 80s and 90s). This line of mini rigid plastic/PVC robots dates from 1988 to 1993. The collection I present is complete and original, consisting of 12 different models, each with a unique design inspired by Japanese mecha (like Transformers or Gundam), and marked with progressive numbering under the foot (1 to 12), with the SOMA and CHINA logos.
The series is complete with 12 different robots and in very good cosmetic condition.
Book "Noi Robot - Giocattoli Spaziali" written by Massimo Monteleone and Guglielmo Signora, published in 1994 by Granata Press. This is a historical work for Italian enthusiasts, considered the first Italian essay entirely dedicated to the collecting of tin robots (classic space toys of the 50s and 60s), and of metal and plastic robots tied to Japanese anime of the 70s and 80s.
I have tried to include as many photos as possible to document the lot in detail.
