A workaholic toy inventor, Marvin Glass was so preoccupied with his interest in toys that he failed to spend enough time with his wife. The story goes that during an argument over his hours at work, Mrs. Glass shouted..."You are always working, inventing!
You are Mr. Machine!"
So it was that Mr. Machine, the toy, was born.
A toy of many talents, this early robot toy operates by winding the large metal key on his back. Mr. Machine rolls forward, legs and arms spinning, bell ringing, opening his mouth and squawking. The little wheel behind the toy can be set to make him run in a circle or curve, or a straight line. A mesmerizing, charming wonder.
First introduced by the Ideal Toy Corporation in 1960, Mr. Machine's popularity grew rapidly, as did his role in the Ideal Corporation. It wasn't long before this one of a kind, high-tech wonder had fans all his own. Mr. Machine became animated and the star of Ideal's television toy commercials.
Now you can own your own authentic Mr. Machine collectible toy. Impressively manufactured using original Ideal molds.
Take him apart and put him back together again! Highly collectible and truly educational as well.
From the original artwork on the package to the Numbered Certificate of Authenticity, Collector's Manual with the Mr. Machine story, replica of the US Patent Certificate, and DVD copy of the original Mr. Machine television commercial...rest assured this guy is high quality fun. Mr. Machine is numbered and comes with the elusive "toy wrench."
Limited production of Mr. Machine makes him especially valuable and delightful to those fortunate enough to claim this antique-style toy for their own.

My parents gave me a Mr. Machine in the early sixties. This one toy helped me discover my mechanical aptitude along with an ability to build/fix just about anything. For some years now I've been checking the various auction sites looking for an original one of these dudes in decent shape. Time and time again I was so disappointed in their condition and going price I wouldn't even bid. You can’t imagine how stoked I was to not only find a brand-spanking-new Mr. Machine from the original molds, but at a price that didn’t make me say “You’ve got to be kidding”! Needless to say I am extremely pleased even my parents came over to house just to check him out. Who’d a thunk it!

First the plus, I loved the DVD that was included. It had the original Mr. Machine T.V. ad, and a lot of other ads from that time. It also has a brief history of Mr. Machine. The Downside, the spring wind-up seems to be a little weak, Mr. Machine does not run very long on a full wind... up only about 15-20 seconds. Maybe that's just the one I got.

Words can't describe how happy I am with this toy. I got the original in 1961. I took it apart and never put it back together again since I was only 7. This fulfills a missing link in my childhood.

I remember purchasing this for my brother when he was small for the outrageous price of $7.95. First gift I ever bought solely with my own money. Now, my grandson has one. Love it!

This wasn't the one we were actually anticipating receiving. The one we recall was one that whistled. We bought it to replace one that had burned up in a house fire, but the recipient was happy none the less!
