Forbidden Planet 7' Robby (1 Viewer)

[Robert Hutchison]

I was looking at the offer in the Forbidden Planet DVD set for the seven foot model Robby The Robot. Has anybody seen the price for it? How many do you think will sell?

I don't know, but I've always thought the best Robby product would be a Robby the Robot Lava Lamp, in which his clear dome head would be extended a bit and would have the psychedelic pink glowing lava inside.

Problem with production would be that the glass "top" of a real lava lamp has a bottle cap (usually hidden underneath a more decorative cap). So I'm not sure how to minimize that.

I'd buy this in a New York Minute.

But, then reality sets in.

:frowning:

Maybe if I concentrate really hard, my tiny new model of Robby will grow into a lifesize real Robby!

Is their also an offer in the DVD to send off for for a seven foot model of Anne Francis?

Where is the 'real' Robby? Is it on display somewhere?

The original Robby is owned by a private collector. He occasionally makes public appearances.

I got a good close up look at the Fred Barton Robby reproduction at the World Science Fiction Convention this year, and it looked superb. Robby talks, his tubes light up, and mechanisms move. Wonderful stuff.

I doubt the wife will be sticking around long when you tell her you just paid $50K for a life size robot. Problem solved!
