Robot and Adventurer

Commando Cody, he was sort of the Rocketeer long before that movie was popular.  The same suit was used by several different characters in movies, TV shows, and serials by Republic Pictures.
His bullet shaped helmet and rocket backpack for flight.
And a ray gun to fight evil.  Nice folds on the clothing.
Robots like this were common in the late 1930s to mid-1950s, they were called water heater robots due to their general shape.
Actually it's a very simple and utilitarian design.  I like how he leans to one side as he lumbers forward, menacingly.
Big claws and big feet.
Great robot, perfect for the evil Kang or as a servant of good.

Elastowit figures are 54mm, nice and thick figures, no flash, rubbery plastic and made in Ukraine.

I have become enamored with the ranges. many interesting subjects are covered and he keeps adding more figures.
I was much amused, just then, to tick the box, 'I am not a robot'.

Yes, it is an amazing output, very fast, and very creative. ElastoWit is making all the figures I wanted as a kid, and even now!
Their Planet of the Apes line looks awesome.
