Hard-edged, violence-prone
robot figures this year are
expected to have the most
successful first year for a
new toy, eclipsing the record
$60 million in cuddly Cab­

Both Hasbro Industries
Inc. and Tonka Corp, say they
have received orders of about
$100 million for the new
“transformable” robot- fig­
ures and predict their product
will be the .No. 1 toy intro­
duction. Coleco Industries'
Cabbage Patch dolls set the
previous record.
The two robot lines have
many similarities. Both were
invented by large Japanese
toy companies. And both
lines feature robots called
transformables, which can be
folded and manipulated into
different shapes, such as
vehicles, guns and even
cassette-tape players.
Hasbro and Tonka are mar­
keting the robots along the
story line of good and evil
robots warring for control.
In contrast with Cabbage
Patch dolls, each robot line
has dozens of related pro­
ducts. “These will be collec­
tors' series, and kids will
want one of everything,” pre­
dicts Donald Leftt, president
of Toy Park, a large New York
toy store.
Already the transformable
robots are making their mark.
