Currently working on a blog post about Wall-E’s version of a ubicomp future for noodleplay, and I remembered an ebay auction I was watching. Sadly, the “Super Armatron” had been sold ($60 US, a little steep for my liking), but I figured the box was worth sharing. This “toy” reminded me of everything I love about vintage toys. Two ten-year-olds wearing lab coats dressed like scientists playing with a giant robot arm. The future looks really promising for those two.
The science fiction vision presented through toys in the early 80’s has such an incredible innocence to it. I guess that’s why I collect old robots.
