Title: Blue robot
Post by: sweetking on January 12, 2011, 15:53:59
WOW :o! Another mystery solved! Well done! So far, I don't know of any unsolved parts identifications, are there any that are still not solved known by anyone else? ???

I know one unsolved mistery :the blue R2D2-like robot

On this link, you'll see the standard one :
http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3591.htm (http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3591.htm)

But there is also a blue version with a different identification number on the "chest" (no picture available yet ; have to go home first)

Does anybody know where it comes from ?

It could be Strella (the former Brazilian company).... maybe Antex but I doubt it. I think they didn't get to make this type of robot at all.

Woo hoo :woohoo:! Another challenge! I agree with Gaston, I think it was Antex,...maybe Troll,....that had the Playmospace series in a later time in drastically different colors, like reds & yellows instead of the standard white! Thank you sweetking for getting our mind research gears turning again! We look forward to seeing pictures of your quest!

I am nearlly sure it is european, perhaps greek of spanish but probably german. I had my first one as a child around 1984 and at that time nobody around me had any contact with Brasil or Argentina. By the way, this part is quite old (early eighties) and was therefore produced before Estrela started to produce playmobils.

Antex or Trol could be somehow an answer, but I can't believe I received at that time parts from so far away.

I got a little lost... where is Bill's original question from?

And yes I think pingo is correct This one is both Antx and Mattel.
There is also a red and yellow robot like that from Estrela!

Early in the times of Playmobil the Mattel toy company was under license of Playmobil to produce several toys like the 3525 fire ladder truck with different decals, & the Playmospace theme in different colors! They were packaged in Playmobil boxes with Mattels insignias, & if I'm not mistaken a Guaranteed fun or your money back!, promise!

exactly !

It's quite rare (seen a  few in 20 years) and difficult to find... my  sample is currently hidding somewhere in one storage box, but can't say which one.

As far as I remember, the ID number of the robot (chest sticker) is YZ06 or something like that.

Hi

The ones I keep seeing are missing wheels. Its quite annoying as I do not think there are any replacement parts from other themes to fit it.

It clearly looks like mine (blue body, orange arms and legs) but I'll bet mine had a non coloured bubblehead.  I'll find it and take a picture.

Anyway this one is coming from a different mould than the white : body of the blue one is slightly taller and it doesn't show any opening on its front

Yes ! You got the exact one I have, the "XY6" tagged one.

When checking the three versions of this blue robot, you'll see that the two first posted have a different body (higher one with no holes). As I noticed many on a brasilian auction website, we could consider them Trol or Estrela made.
