View Full Version : How About A New B-9 Robot? liskorea317 11-10-2009, 04:41 PM Not making any demands here, but being astonished over and over by the quality and detail of Moebius kits, I would love to see a whole new B-9 Robot kit. The old Aurora/PL kit was/is great to have, despite the narrow torso and simplified details, but an all new kit in your hands would be, I think, outstanding! Just a thought... Mike spock62 11-10-2009, 04:56 PM I'll second that! A new, accurate B-9 robot would be most welcome! djnick66 11-10-2009, 05:14 PM I think this was discussed already... rkoenn 11-10-2009, 05:16 PM I think part of the problem with that is the licensing. Since Polar Lights has re-released it they obviously hold the rights. I don't know if any other Moebius licensed products are from that studio but it might not be possible to get the license. djnick66 11-10-2009, 05:47 PM ... Moebius already does a Lost in Space robot... along with the Jupiter 2, Chariot, Space Pod... I recall they saying they have no plans for a new large B-9... trekman 11-10-2009, 06:44 PM Hope springs Eternal! Let's Go MOE!!!! Let's hear it!!! B-9!!! FOREVER!! JohnGuard 11-10-2009, 07:08 PM John or Don in space gear? how about an accessories kit? like the force field, shelter, engine parts, deutronium drilling gear!! ShadOAB 11-10-2009, 07:10 PM How About A New B-9 Robot? WHY? How 'bout something that hasn't been done!?! Ductapeforever 11-10-2009, 08:01 PM Tic, Tic, Tic,... Lock! Dave Hussey 11-10-2009, 08:17 PM If Dave and Frank are considering this one, I`d like to see it as the Robot and Will Robinson. The recent Polar Lights kit had a nice aculpt of Doctor Smith. But to me, Will and the Robot are a classic pair. Almost in the tradition of a boy and his dog. Just my two cents worth! Huzz liskorea317 11-10-2009, 08:46 PM I don't think the license is an issue-the box for the mini robot is identical to the PL box. I believe the PL Robot is also out of production. It just would be nice to see a more accurate likeness. Ever since '68 it always bothered me that the torso was too thin. As for the other suggestions, like the force field projector, an outfit like Crow's Nest or Jimmy Flintstone can do something like that. And do it very well! The addition of a Will Robinson sculpt is a great idea too, but I think ol' B-9 deserves a really great updated kit on his own! ShadOAB 11-10-2009, 09:21 PM Good luck. HabuHunter32 11-11-2009, 02:39 AM I think this was discussed already... I believe you are correct sir! It's like deja-vu all over again!:rolleyes: Thunder Hawk 11-11-2009, 03:06 AM A B9 robot about 12" tall would be fantastic. Working track and rubber parts for the arms and legs. :thumbsup: Cheer. GHB :wave: liskorea317 11-11-2009, 06:21 AM I believe you are correct sir!

WHY? How 'bout something that hasn't been done!?! Yeah! Like, oh, an accurate 1/6 scale B-9 Robot! :D Antimatter 11-11-2009, 08:51 AM Tic, Tic, Tic,... Lock! My, how intelligent that was.:rolleyes: Y3a 11-11-2009, 10:45 AM I think we've already been told not in the near future. I'm fine with that. Let Moebius explore new items. The Seaview in that size and the Chariot were the best! Now a Big Correct Jupiter 2! look at the other great kits they have produced. They seem to be on the right track. There are kits I'd like to see made, but I'm sure only 3 other people on the planet would want them, so I'll never ask. xsavoie 11-11-2009, 12:12 PM I agree with you that MOEBIUS has their hands full by now and that we are indeed lucky that they produce the present kits,but a big and precise B-9 ROBOT might have a great success.And let's not forget ROBBY the robot.;) BronzeGiant 11-11-2009, 01:08 PM How About A New B-9 Robot? WHY? How 'bout something that hasn't been done!?! You mean like the Jupiter II?? :confused: otto 11-11-2009, 02:43 PM Sorry about the repeat discussion-I wasn't a member here yet..I haven't found any posts about it. Ahh, dont worry about it. :) This happens on occasion. Moebius has put out some wonderful kits. And they do have the IA License, so I'd never say never. Maybe in a couple of years down the road we might just see a new B-9. One never knows what to expect next around here..LOL.. Dave Metzner 11-11-2009, 02:45 PM Let me see, I-Hobby was exactly3 weeks ago, come tomorrow.. I just counted, we have 13 kits aleready announced for 2010! Does anybody suppose that this discussion might be just a few weeks premature? Give us a chance to get the kits we've already announced underway......then maybe we can talk about more new stuff....Like maybe 6-8 months or so down the road from here! Ductape has it about right! probably not a bad idea to just close this thread! Dave falcondesigns 11-11-2009, 05:17 PM "nothing more to see here,move along" fxshop 11-11-2009, 05:50 PM "nothing more to see here,move along" What falcondesign said move along, move along HabuHunter32 11-12-2009, 01:49 AM Sorry about the repeat discussion-I wasn't a member here yet..I haven't found any posts about it. It's cool! I was just teasing! This topic was brought up not too long ago and as you may have surmised it wont be happening soon but give Moebius time! I also want a new larger B-9 and Robby!

Mike Punchcard76 11-13-2009, 01:11 PM :beatdeadhorse: PerfesserCoffee 11-13-2009, 02:18 PM I'd love to see a new accurate robot. Either that or a model kit of a smiley face beating a dead horse. :D Fernando Mureb 11-13-2009, 04:18 PM OK. Close the thread but keep a reminder note glued on the freezer door: "2011 - produce a very accurated B9 robot kit. Examine the possibility of full lighting." PerfesserCoffee 11-14-2009, 10:53 AM OK. Close the thread but keep a reminder note glued on the freezer door: "2011 - produce a very accurate B9 robot kit. Examine the possibility of full lighting." Of course they'd do it just right. The existence of Moebius has set the level of expectation very high in terms of potential model kits. No wonder people are bringing up subjects (again and again in some cases). Fernando Mureb 11-15-2009, 07:29 PM I do believe sir. It was a joke. Antimatter 11-15-2009, 09:00 PM Close the thread, don't close the thread, close the thread, don't close the thread.................................::rolleyes: :freak: Y3a 11-15-2009, 10:21 PM CLOSE THE THREAD!
