    Three robots two by the very respected Metal House Japan outfit and the third a distant knock-off of the original Gang of Five series of robots that are worth thousands of dollars a piece if in good condition. Saw an original Gang of Five robot on E-Bay the other day going for I believe about $9000. And to think they were toys at one point.

      One of those looks a bit like a Horikawa robot.
      You have a very nice collection, they must of cost you a lot of money

      Thanks racer4four and Vincent. No they are not Horikawa robots but are based on the Horikawa design. These particular two are made by Metal House Japan which carries on the tradition of making cool robots along with the Osaka Tin Toy Institute in Japan. Both companies make pretty expensive robots. I have many more robots and such but due to space limitations can only display so many at once plus I have to watch my budget when I buy. Richard
