1970s Metal House Star Strider Robot
This was my first, 1970s Metal House Star Strider Robot. I was ECD of Hakuhodo Advertising America in Los Angeles, and I'd picked it up at the airport in Tokyo. I sold it a few years later, along with my other robots, on eBay after we’d moved to the Bay Area during the dot-com bubble. Sometimes you gotta sell the things you love to pay the bills for the ones you love — that's called life. I think I got $95, which was amazing to me at that time.
I still love toys and memories like these; it’s just now, this one is 6 feet tall. =-)
