Description from the seller

LOTTO Robot

"Sir Jogo" Starzinger Popy - Hong Kong, (approximately 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 accessories are 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 shiny. The chromed inscription "Sir Jogo" on the belt is clearly visible. The shoulder launchers and the silver spring-loaded rifle are functioning.
Unfortunately it comes without a box! The collector discarded the boxes and kept the characters/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 purchaser. It is a photosensitive robot capable of following a black line.
Unfortunately it is not working. It does come with all the original electrical diagrams (as shown in the photo), which could be used for assembly.
Technical specifications
Period: circa 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 and vintage Italian electronics enthusiasts.
Produced in limited quantities.

"Gommini of the G1 Transformers - five characters" (approximately 4.5 cm), original Japanese, produced by Takara in the mid-1980s. The Takara KataKana logo is clearly readable on the back of the figures, the historic company that created the Transformers, and on the chest the Cybertron emblem (Autobot) 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 micro-weapons fitted into the hands are still perfectly intact and not broken. The original Takara branding is printed on each figure.

"Sonic Rangers or Robot Warriors" (approximately 4.5 cm), 12 small plastic robots. The line’s name varied depending on the country where they were sold. Produced by SOMA, (a well-known Hong Kong/China company, famous in the 1980s and 1990s). This line of rigid plastic/PVC mini-robots dates to roughly 1988–1993. The collection I present is complete and original, consisting of 12 different models, each characterized by a unique design inspired by Japanese mecha (like Transformers or Gundam), and marked by a progressive numbering on the foot, (1 to 12), with the SOMA and CHINA logos.
The series is complete with 12 different robots in very good cosmetic condition.

Book "We Robot - Space Toys" written by Massimo Monteleone and Guglielmo Signora, published in 1994 by Granata Press. It is a historical work for Italian enthusiasts, considered the first Italian essay entirely dedicated to the collecting of tin robots (the classic space toys of the 1950s and 1960s) and metal and plastic robots linked to Japanese anime of the 70s and 80s.

I have tried to include as many photos as possible to document the lot as thoroughly as possible.
