Hey Guys, an exact movie replica can be done to the J5 toy but you do understand the legal reasons why the detail is different and of course the name.....Right? That said I am glad you guys like the toy version and yeah if you got to see Tom's basement with all his movie robots and Sci-Fi stuff you'd **** your pants and still be crying!
The Toy J5 (Robot V) can be modified into any of the looks from either movie it was made to do exactly that, it's your template to work from! because scratch building one is way too hard so now the toy version is your beginning.....Cool Huh? Your Welcome!
Just a little history though, I introduced J5 at Wonderfest back in 2004 and yes me and Tom have other projects in the works but it is up to him in which we proceed, after all I am only the Designer and really like making movie robots that haven't been made into a model or toys yet, that's the kind of challenge I dig! And mostly like the 1/5th or 1/6th Scale size to fit with the other toy versions of the most popular movie robots.
Mostly I scratch build but when I find something I know hasn't been made then I make it, so far besides the Johnny 5 I did several robots of TOBOR, Jinks (Space Camp), Tik Tok (Return to Oz) Republic Robot (Tin Can), and still working on G.O.G. plus Sonny (I Robot 13 inch) plus Andrew Martin (Bicentennial Man 13 inch) and really want to do the robot from "Chopping Mall" the Kill bots I think they were called "Protector Series"
So once again, Thanks for all the compliments and I hope to hear from you guys frequently
Regards,
Mike
