Gobots Binoculars by ARCO

Binoculars that become a robot!

ARCO pre-acquisition by Mattel created a number of licensed items for the Gobots and Robo Machine lines and one of these is a life size set of child play binoculars.

Many of ARCO's Gobots offerings fall into the love them or hate them category however 'Binoculars' for many has a quaint if poxy charm.

While clearly a budget release materials wise Binoculars stands well, snaps into place, offers some arm articulation and overall achieves what it set out to do.

Region Codes Used: US United States / EU Europe - Location codes only shown where items were known to be released. List is accurate yet likely to be incomplete.

Under license from Tonka Arco released the Binoculars as well as a number of oversized vehicle and gun alt mode robots and Desk-Bot.

These same models were released at the same time in variant colours also by ARCO branded 'Robotech' and under their own View Bot banner.

In 1986 ARCO was purchased by Mattel and the gun models were released once more in 1993 again sporting new colour schemes.
