Crow's Nest is developing a set of Robinson figures for the J-2. I THINK a robot is included. They do very nice work.
No model or figure is 100% "accurate" so thats sort of a moot question. Im sure he will look like the LiS Robot... but there are always molding, design, tooling limitations and considerations.

That would be great. And nice to see that, as you guys told (warned) us, you are still hanging out there monitoring the board. I just picked up the Eye Gone Wild and from the guys note who built it another great kit. And of course I will be buying the small robot/chariot/pod kit when they are released. Amazing company Frank.
I have the old Lunar Models Robinson Family that included the Robot. I didn't like the Robot so I used all their parts and sculpted my own Robot's body. It is the worst Resin kit I ever bought from them, but it works. They are molded from the Switch N Go Playset (family only) that came out from Mattel in the 60's. You can still get them on E-bay sometimes. Lots of little pin holes to fill. Mine came with no Judy Robinson's Pony tail. lol

Steve currently is Out of Stock on these but I was wondering if they were the same and in the proper scale to the Moebius J2.

I'd read a rumor on another forum that Moebius was planning to produce Chariot and Space Pod kits in scale with the Jupiter 2, but it's good to hear it "from the horse's mouth", so-to-speak. I might just have to re-think that whole "I don't have enough room for the Jupiter 2" thing.

I don't know, but the Bloop looks like a gargoyle!
We announced it in Chicago in October, but we don't have a set price yet. A lot of dealers/distributors won't advertise until we have a set price. Kit will be resin/styrene/photoetch, so we're still working on the details. From what me and Dave have talked about, the robot will be all clear styrene as it will be shot in the same tool as the Chariot canopy. Hope we have more info soon!
Yep, still here!

The news of the Chariot/Space Pod kit has been a very big plus for me and the news that a B9 will be in the set is just fantastic........:woohoo:
The Switch N Go figures are advertized as being 1/30 to 1/32 scale, or 54mm to 60mm... about the size of toy soldiers. I had the Lunar figures and they were tiny. Instead of being roughly 2.5" in height they were about 1.5". The poses were not identical to the Switch N Go figures either. It seems they were based on them but not exact copies?
