ROBOT LAZER
8428
Soclaine Jouets France
Astro Magnum Guide
Robot Lazer comes from the Robot Pistol TG-117 mold but with some unique characteristics. Robot Lazer was distributed by Soclaine SARL of Paris France. Solcaine distributed a variety of toy model kits and robot toys (jouets) during the 1980s. As of today, Soclaine is still in business in France with a focus on selling wooden model boats.
Soclaine is printed on the box directly versus a sticker that other distributors of the time applied to their inventory.
Back & top of the box.
Robot Lazer is an IC2 Sound figure. The box has very unique rainbows on it with rather funky lettering for both: Pistol Lazer and Robot Lazer. The box reads: Pistolaser (Pistolazer gun mode), Laser Vulcan, Gunborg and Robot Laser (robot mode). Note: most mode pictures on the box above do not match the traditional modes & names found on a licensed Astro Magnum.
