I had this toy. He blew out smoke! It was crazy... but got old quick.

The talking version of the robot also came in a box marked "Magic Mike", so I guess his exact name can vary. Some don't have a working switch on the head and no internal sound unit, others have it. They come in red, black or gold and all three can either talk or not.

mine stop working

i just found my old "magic mike". mine is white/blue (now it's yellowish/blue due to aging)and is the talk only version. still work thoug. try to fix em now coz it's start operating as soon as i inserted the battery :))

I was born in 1978 and i remember my mom got me one when i was a kid, i wish i still had it!

I have found some of these robots in local flea markets for $5 to $15 and have been able to use parts from one to fix another. The switching circuits are fairly cheaply made and corrosion sometimes prevents power from reaching motors or the smoke unit, and this can be cured with a careful cleaning. I recommend either an electroncis cleaning spray or "gumout" which is sold for cleaning carburetters and fuel systems in cars (spray can).

Just found a gold one at a local antique mall. No box and doesn't work.

Just bought one in black from an antique shop in Arbroath totally perfect come.

Still have my robot that I bought in Arbroath could never part with it also managed to get a good cond box so now worth more than the £20 I paid for it.
