Now this is a Grovelbot!

from ebay:



The Super Space Giant stands a whopping 16" tall x 9" wide x 6 1/4" deep. He's made completely of heavy gauge tin, with colorful litho graphics, and chrome trim accents. Pop three D-cell batteries in his back, throw the switch, and the Space Giant springs into action. He walks forward a few steps, then he pauses as twin doors open on his chest -- a pair of amber plastic cannons pop out, light-up brightly, and fire-off a loud "rat-a-tat-tat" sound. A few seconds later, the gunfire ceases, the chest doors close, and the metallic man begins to walk forward on a new mission. Utterly awesome!

3. Cool

There are some of those on ebay too - I didn't know what to look for. Someone posted this a while back and I remembered when I saw Grovelbot's smiling (?) face. I like the ornament.
