Just found that myself!

Appears to be 1973, not 1968, though the end credits are obviously more recently made, perhaps for a home video release?

It was first shown in Mexico in 1969.

It turns out that the film was shown in cinema theatres in many countries, in this case IMDB can be trusted. Additional information, which not on IMDB.

End credits clearly state MCMLXXIII (1973), though as I say, these credits were remade so it could be an titling error.

Clearly, Alan, then most likely this is year release of the film in one of the countries.

Mexico or the other Spanish-speaking countries?

Well, under title "Las Luchadoras vs el Robot Asesino" this is only held there (though I could be wrong, but my research say about this).

Regardless of when it was made, it's an amazing find!

Just when you think there's nothing left to discover, these things pop up!

Love the pics Denis. And the wagging finger.

Glad, anti-clockwise, that you appreciated it.

This stuff shows us that the film was not so much the little-known at the time.

I wonder if this is a licensed product and if not are Studiocanal aware of this?

Where has this been hiding?

Just when I think I've seen everything connected to The Avengers, something new turns up.

Shame the closing credits are not included.

pirate production ?

The whole style of the end titles looks much later, and also video generated (as opposed to being made on film), so I'd guess at a home video release in Mexico or another Spanish-speaking territory. Of course this would have been the 1980s at the earliest, and the copyright date shown is obviously in error quite possibly mistaking MCMLXVIII (1968) for MCMLXXIII (1973).
