Professeur Simon - Simon Wright

Captain Future's best friend is a deceased professor: Simon Wright. Deceased ? His body maybe, but his brain was inserted into a floating robot of some sort that helped our captain in all his adventures. He really was, the "thinking bot". Japanese toymaker Popy did a nice job, especially with the light function inside the toys "transparent rubber" brain... The lazer gun from Mars attacks would take this concept again decades later.

Back of the box - note other toys in the serie...
Yes, my brain can light up !



Glowing brain ! Yes ! How cool is that ?
