The Genuine 7-Foot Robby The Robot
June 18, 2007 | Filed under Gadgets, Robot Gadgets & Reviews

This Robot is a special edition life-size and fully animatronic remote-controlled version of Robby, the robot from the classic 1956 film Forbidden Planet.
He stands an amazing seven feet tall. He was created from the same blueprints, moulds, and templates used to create the original costume.
Robby is made by renowned artist Fred Barton, the man commissioned to restore the original robot after its sale to a Southern California prop museum in 1970.

The robot is pre-programmed to deliver his famous lines from the original movie, and the remote control allows you to adjust the robots volume, track selection, and start and stop functions.
You will find that Robby can also be prompted to move his computer relay assembly, rotate his servo-controlled head, spin his planetary gyro stabilizers, and rotate his scanners while his various lights flash.
Robby is signed by the artist and by designer Robert Kinoshita, and officially licensed by Turner Entertainment. Certificate of authenticity is included
