    Description

    Just relisted because I had the wrong shipping price.
    When I bought this I was sure, based on it near perfect cosmetic condition, that it would work. When I put  batteries into the "seldom if ever used" battery compartmen, the lights came on but the Spaceman did not move. Based on the base of his feet, I do not think he has been played with (see pictures).
    Regardless, you experts will know his value and how simple (or not) it is to fix him and sell him fully functional for the big bucks!
    The box has a dent near the Alps brand (see picture). The box appears to be faded some but I think the picture is close to accurate. It did its job and protected the Spaceman.
    I am going to start this auction off low and let you collectors determine its final value!
    PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES TO CONFIRM MY DESCRIPTION, IT REALLY IS A NICE ROBOT!

    MPORTANT UNDATE:
    I read a thread on the internet about the Television Spaceman and it suggested tapping one of his legs with the power on and
    "HE CAME TO LIFE"  NOW HE WALKS AND MOVES HIS ARMS. THE TV PICTURE DOES NOT CHANGE (THE PICTURE DOES NOT CHANGE) BUT I AM  CONVINCED YOU EXPERTS CAN FIX THAT AS WELL. HAVE FUN IN YOUR BIDDING!
