YONEZAWA (DIRECTIONAL) ROBOT, JAPAN, 1963 · Fame isn’t everything. The best-known member of Yonezawa’s skirted-robot family is Cragstan’s Mr. Robot, the enameled-red, clear domed brainiac that started it all. · Lesser members include Modern Robot, Jupiter Robot, and Talking Robot (1960’s). · But it’s robot—or Directional Robot, as it’s commonly known—who ultimately gets the nod for creative evolution. · Directional Robot, it turns out, is the only Yonezawa skirted (no legs, hidden mystery action drivetrain) robot to feature a turning head. That’s right when Directional Robot mystery-actions its way into impedance, the automaton turns its head and heads out in a newly chosen direction. · With its almost clinical color scheme and modernistic, purpose-built face and chest plate, Directional Robot doesn’t have the simplistic charm of Yonezawa’s earlier skirted toys; but this single animation feature alone earns Directional its due among today’s Robot enthusiasts. · The toy also features eye and head-signal illumination, and it swings its arms twitchingly during operation. · For a true, “head turning experience”, nothing beats Yonezawa’s Directional Robot.
