Electro Man is the forbidden dream of so many collectors that at the end of 2021 it was auctioned for $84,000. Yes, that’s right, you heard me right: eighty-four thousand dollars!!! It is a 1960s Japanese tin robot, battery-powered, highly animated, and beautifully lithographed.
Much more modestly, I made a hand-pushed, paper version of it, named Electro Paper Man, trying to reproduce the richness of the lithographs and the complexity of the movement.
