This is an original Japanese tin wind-up robot known as the Message Robot, manufactured by Yonezawa Sanko Seisakusho (Yonezawa Toys) during the Showa era, circa the 1960s to early 1970s. The robot features a classic retro-futuristic design with a bright blue tinplate body, expressive facial details, a spring-style antenna, and colorful printed chest and back graphics inspired by space-age electronics. The wind-up mechanism is located on the side and functions properly, making this a working collectible example. This piece was previously displayed and stored indoors. It shows only minimal signs of age, consistent with careful ownership, and remains in very good overall condition for a vintage tin toy of this era. A desirable collector’s item for enthusiasts of Japanese tin toys, vintage robots, and Yonezawa-made classics. Condition Very good vintage condition, working item Previously owned and home-displayed.
