K-4DO The Action Figure of Yesteryear

Ladies and gentlemen, the toy of yesteryear, K-4DO. An all metal robot toy built to entertain children. K-4 has fully articulated arms and stands on its own two feet. It is armed with a sword and shield (removable). The robot's head is a brass bell, it has a steel body and arms, brass legs, and copper feet. It is held together by pop rivets and is about the size of any action figure (watch out C-3PO). It is as durable as any other toy and still as cool as can be!
Thanks for reading, I hope you liked my robot!

I like him but I'm a tin robot collector, this guy looks a great deal like Atomic Robot Man.

Oh well great minds think alike and obviously you think like a good robot designer, oh and Atomic robot was the first robot I ever bought many years ago.

not really no questions but one suggestion according to me would be having a bigger shield...its only my opinion so....others may think differently!

But good job on this!

Well... I took no photos during the building and I used a lot of found items. But it is pretty easy to get into metalworking. All it requires is some artistic ability and a few simple tools: tinsnips, a riveting tool, pliers, and a drill with drill bits!
