Rivet, the Tin Tomorrow robot: cream head, glowing amber eyes, blood-red body and a four-window chest panel showing an astronaut, a flying saucer, a moonrise and a comet
Made in the Space Age

Every robot is the same. Every chest is not.

In the late 1950s, Japanese toymakers printed little worlds onto tin: rockets, ringed planets, cheerful astronauts. Those robots now sell for tens of thousands at auction, and collectors prize them for their lithographed panels and their boxes.

Tin Tomorrow brings that tradition on-chain. Rivet is one robot, cast in cream and blood red. What changes is the square panel on his chest: four windows onto the future, as people in 1958 pictured it. No two of the 999 share the same panel.

    The Nine

    Nine predictions from the 1950s that came true, each on a single gold-leaf panel. Only nine exist, and four are held back.

    Condition counts

    Vintage tin collectors pay a premium for condition and the original box. Every Tin Tomorrow robot carries a grade, independent of its tier.

    Who is Rivet?

    Rivet is the Tin Tomorrow robot: a cream and blood-red 1950s wind-up toy. Every robot in the collection is Rivet; only his chest panel and condition change.

    How is the rarity decided?

    By the panel and the condition. Tiers run from Common to the nine Legendaries, and the condition grade is assigned separately, so a Mint in Box Legendary is the rarest robot of all.

    Will there be physical robots?

    We are exploring real lithographed tin robots for top tiers. It is a possible future reward, not a launch promise.
