Using my very limited Japanese language abilities, I've done some searches for our pig man, based upon the limited information on the website where the pig man toy was originally posted. One of those searches resulted in this: I wonder if there was a Pigs Team. Because those monkeys were made...

I sent a pic of the man pig toy to a friend of mine in Japan. I did not make any suggestions about what it might be. She said the same thing you did; that it reminds her of Osamu Tezuka.

I think the flag likely didn't come with the body. It appears to be attached via a regular old flag mount, similar to these. But maybe a flag mount designed for a boat or a bike would have the correct angle? Just a thought.

It seems the training wheels(?) are only in that one photo. The scooter seems to have been through at least a couple of slight modifications throughout the series, as mentioned in an earlier post. These training wheels(?) seem to be one of those things that must have been modified. It looks like...

I'm really thinking the body is from a motor scooter, and they've mounted it onto a bmx mongoose scooter. Here's a chart where I compare Pee-Wee's scooter parts to that of two other scooters.

We had observed the three wheels on Pee-Wee's scooter a few years ago, but I just had some new thoughts about it. Those extra wheels are definitely training wheels, and the body is perfectly suited to housing those training wheels (see nick's pic of the scooter from the front view; I've attached...

Some ideas for what the top part of the body might be: Vented tupperware lid or microwave cover Ceiling mounted bathroom vent Oddly shaped stereo (the "vents" could be speaker grills) The lid/ outtake vent from a shop vac Wall plate from an intercom system like those found in apartments Just...

Thanks Alex. good idea. I'll have a look around to see if I can find a poster.

Hi all, I'd like to recreate Zax. Please help me identify the parts. Fortunately there doesn't appear to be much to it. The body looks so familiar but I can't quite place it. :) Here's a pic of another robot from the show that appears to have the same body with slight differences in the...

Wow, the extras really could provide some clues! I'm glad they have footage of the construction of the playhouse. Let's hope for the best! As for the restoration process of the show, you can read about it and watch some footage here...

Thanks for the pic, BestBike!!! You know, looking at this picture alone, I'm starting to think that the "bike radio" we've been looking for isn't a bike radio at all. Is it just me, or does it look like an RC Car Transmitter (the controller to a remote controlled toy car)? This could explain the...
