Name: Astroid Robot Manufacturer: Durham Toy line: Sidewinders Release Date: 1970s Component Materials: Tin and Plastics Size: 5.5 inches tall Toy Description: When I was young, robots were seen as outlandish mechanical pets or comic relief. My earliest memories of them were of Rosie the Jetson’s maid, Robby the Robot in Forbidden Planet and the Robinson’s family robot in Lost in Space. In addition to these very fanciful robots, I had my own little toy robot whom I simply called “The Lost in Space robot” since it had so much in common with the Robinson’s robot.
