Sometimes a plan comes together when you didn't even know you needed a plan! It's a T-is-for-Two really, but the title was sitting there staring me in the old fizzog! I've mentioned before that prior to the doors opening at Sandown Park, there is a bit of a boot-sale scrummage on the steps of the terraces in the main stand, and sometimes I get an item or two, sometimes I don't, on Saturday just gone (forgot to do a reminder, sorry), I got a little wooden tank, and a feckin robot!
The coolest robot I've seen for a long time! Bit of a plinth on him, but that's because he's a collapsing thumb-push toy, where you push the plunger and slacken his hidden cord 'skeleton', causing him to decline & fall, all over the place, only to spring back up when you release the pressure.
Next to him on the disco floor, is an Azrak-Hamway (AHI) parachute toy of Superman, which was a nice find, later in the morning, but I have a carded Planet of the Apes one, from the same series, so a loose Superhero with tatty cape, isn't getting me as excited as it might? But the robot!
Later the same day -Batman! See comments, he's got a strange chest logo as well, which I meant to mention.
An hour later . . . apparently he's 'Wonderman', a knock-off of the AHI Batman, probably from South America!
Mark is an 'MT' or 'TM', which could be Japan's Masudaya (Modern Toys), they did carry quite a bit of HK plastic at one point, although they tended to place their logo in a diamond cartouche, running landscape, or it might be Tai Ming (most likely in this case), but their M was squashed, with the outer lines angled outward (^^), so it could just as easily be a third maker?
