Small Foot - Gobots

Offroad Robo MR-35

The model was originally designed in Japan by Bandai and released for their Machine Robo Series line as Offroad Robo. Tonka's US rebranded Gobots distribution saw Small Foot given her now most established name. The model was not released by Bandai in Europe for Robo Machine or their Australian Machine Men selection.

It is currently unconfirmed if Small Foot was released in Canada; if you have an example blister card please get in contact.

Not released for the Robo Machine or Machine Men lines.

* Machine Robo Series Prototype: The tan and white Offroad Robo / Small Foot prototype is of unclear origins. It's stamped Bandai and the construction indicates early prototype. Unlike variant colour samples sent to Tonka for the Gobots distribution this model shows what could be call test cast resin and low quality cast metal. The plastic contains hundreds of micro fractures indicative of non-production, low care casting; most noticeable on the hood and windshield. The diecast sections may have been hand poured. While there's no doubt it's a prototype exactly what it was used for is unclear, however strong suspicions are that it's the test casting for the original Machine Robo Series Offroad Robo and not a Gobots Small Foot colour option sample. Another indication is that the colour samples supplied to Tonka were fully painted whereas this model lacks the face and window paint.
