Who remembers this little beauty from their childhood?
Originally manufactured by MERIT in the early '50s, it had a
good long run over the years, and, although I never owned one as
a kid in the '60s, I always wanted one. It's original name was The
Amazing MAGIC ROBOT, but RETRO-RANGE's version of
this classic toy is called The Magical AMAZING ROBOT, but
is practically identical to the first in every other way, even
utilising the box art of one of the earlier editions.
The robot is bronze-coloured in the current release, as
opposed to the silver one I recall seeing as a child, but Merit
may also have used variant colours down through the years, as
they produced different editions of the game during its heyday.
Anyway, it may have taken me about 50 years to eventually get
one of these classic items, but it was well-worth the measly
fiver it cost me from a Glasgow 'bric-a-brac' shop.
If any cavortin' Criv-ites have any memories associated
with this 'toy', feel free to reminisce to your heart's content in
our 'amazing magical' comments section. Bring the past back
to life today, before tomorrow becomes yesterday. (H'mm,
now doesn't that sound almost profound?!)
