"Lost in Space" Robot Replicas

[rad1701]

Not sure if this has been posted here before, but here goes. A company is making a truly amazing (but expensive) Robot replica from "Lost in Space." It will cost you $25K, but man is it ever cool.

Pretty cool. Who's the person behind this? Fred Barton? I thought he was the guy holding the license these days?

Mike Joyce is building these and let me tell you his work is fantastic. So far his is the only person/company that has offered these and has produced them. He won't take your money till he has a robot to ship. I believe there will only be 250 of these built.

That's some pretty eye candy there.

25K? I can still admire the pictures.

Really amazing. :eek ... ... and expensive :cry

That's awsome............ The construction pics really show that these are quality replicas. I'm glad someone finally got it right after the two previous debacles.

Interesting, I have no idea. Who made the previous attempts and what happened?

Well Icon's ripped off a few people of what was it ten to twenty grand?

For B-9's that never shipped. :unsure

I've seen several very handsome replica B9s in various collections... Very dedicated folks in the B9 Builders Club making some top notch robots out there. :thumbsup

I'd sure like to get one, price is just a little out of my league though

 

[Ghost Host]

Oh, Mike Joyce. I worked with him long, long ago. Good modelmaker, but not a fan of his, personally. Hopefully he can deliver what past licensees couldn't.

 

[stingray]

Here are the first 10. I believe those have already been delivered. You can learn more from the B9 Robot Builders club.

That video rocked. I love B9. :thumbsup

Glad to see someone finally delivering on this fine item.

Those are so damn cool and so nicely done.

Hmmmm....maybe I need to go buy a lottery ticket tonight. :love

The engineering on them is fantastic as well as the functionality.

On the other end of the spectrum - Has anybody seen a prototype for the 10" Product Enterprise Robot? There is a pre-order page at MiM, but the pic is an old Toy Robot.
