Toy Robot. This wind-up toy dutifully marches through a sky filled with Kirby Krackle in tribute to the 1978 toy created by Tomy. For a photo reference, we used a picture taken for our eBay listing which sold this robot a few months ago. This black and white drawing was created with Micron 05 fine point pen, various Sharpie markers, white gel pen, and black pastel. 5×7 aspect ratio, from a high-resolution (300 dpi) scan of original art.

Today we take a virtual tour of Tomy’s Mighty Men and Monster Maker toy from 1979. I had one in the 1980s as a young Martian.

Mighty Men and Monster Maker by Tomy (13)

A complete kit has 6 body plates, 6 leg plates, and 6 head plates. (One head panel is missing from the kit in my photos here: the Frankenstein’s Monster head.) Some of the reverse sides have textures instead of body parts. You use them to add scales and rocky textures and so on.

When new, the Mighty Men and Monster Maker came with a set of colored pencils – now gone. Although you can see a whole black crayon in the pictures, I used it up making monster thank you notes before selling the kit on eBay.

Below, you will find complete scans of the plates (except the missing head) and many details of the box, apparatus, and basic rubbings. Enjoy!

Painted in bright acrylics with a high-gloss varnish finish, it shines like a metal robot should! It measures 10×10 inches, with gold, red, black, and tan colors. Inspiration for this work of pop art comes from the Tomy toy robot in the 1970s.
