Another little oddball line, Cosmo Robots seem to have been made in Argentina under license from the Spanish company Comansi/Coman Boys sometime in the late 70's or the 80's. They are about 2 3/4" (70mm) tall and articulated at the head, arms, legs and ankles. I've seen them sold individually or with a trike (vehicle) the line also seems to include a larger vehicle and a (cardboard?) playset. Anyone else own some of these or have more information? (Mask figure for scale)

Never heard of or have seen these before. I like them. They remind me (obviously) of Starroid Raiders, which is one of my favorite lines. Are these yours?

Yep ;D, I came across the red and yellow ones by chance and had to have them. I don't have the green one in hand yet but it's on it's way.

I like those I've never seen the robots before, they remind me of Micronauts. I've had those same space ships since I was a kid, but in different colours. If my memory is correct they were part of a mail in offer from some corn snacks. Are they yours?

Nope, not mine. I actually found them doing a micronauts search. You reminded me of them when you mentioned the Cosmo Robots coming with a trike.

Thanks Clam, I'll keep a look out for those. Here's the Cosmo with trike, looks as though they were also released without the Cosmo Robots sub-title. There are some astronaut figures as well but I'm less interested in those.

I wish they had made vehicles for the Tomland guys.

I'd wondered if that was just a prototype shot on the cardback, but it looks like the playset and larger vehicle were actually made... I want that set

Nice! Those are pretty sweet. They look like a cross between Tomland guys and Micronauts....what's not to love?
