I made this personal project to celebrate Mexico's Children's Day, celebrated every year on April 30th.
I though about my childhood toys, and one that stood out was my 2XL Robot.
For a kid it was a marvelous toy, and the most interesting part is that 8-track tapes were being phased out, so they used old tech to make a toy that really pushed the format to its limit.
I did not have my robot anymore so I was not able to find measurements or plans for it, but I found a few very good sites and great photos, so I had to model it only by visual reference.
Hope you like it.

After examining 2XL ads, I made my own interpratation while trying to keep the same look.
