Comments:
I
picked this up in the mid 80's from Kay-Bee Toys. It wasn't cheap,
but don't let the simple exterior fool you. Atop his head, lay 25
program keys. Through these you can program a sequence of motion
and sound including 3 gear speeds! He also has a demo button.
This is not mentioned on the box anywhere, but he coincidentally looks
like "Vincent" from Disney's "Black Hole", hmmm...
