Vintage STAR WARS Stormtrooper-inspired SUPER ASTRONAUT ROBOT Toy-Horikawa Style For Sale

• This IS the droid you\'re looking for!
• Own part of the sci-fi movie/robot toy craze launched by Star Wars more than 40 years ago
• One of the noted \"Horikawa bootleg knockoffs\" made in Hong Kong
• Note style of Stormtrooper helmet as distinct from other models (smoother, more rounded, with \"ear\" protrusions)
  
• Sold by the original owner
• Received as a birthday gift; most likely in March, 1978 or 1979 (friend\'s mom had a Japanese gift store & imported many toys from the region)
• Unused and in storage for nearly 40 years
• Still lights up and makes rat-tat-tat \"firing\" sound
• Upon the first attempt to test it, it also rotated at the torso and its chest cannon doors opened as designed
• Sadly, on the second attempt (trying to get that on video), it started to rotate, and stopped (lights/firing sounds continued)
• It apparently suffered the same problem as most of these: presumably a plastic gear inside broke/failed (you can hear a piece rattling around inside)
• All original parts, including matching gray battery compartment cover
• Other than that internal gear, all plastic and stickers intact with no cracks, scratches, or significant wear marks
• Battery compartment completely free of corrosion
• A couple areas show overflow of the adhesive used to join plastic pieces (see photos)
• Clean and presentable - ready for display!
• Unfortunately, because of this item\'s fragile nature, it must be sold As Is, and it is Non-Returnable
