Thanks for the info about Robby the robot.

No telling where my vague memory of Robbie came from as I watched lost in space,twilight zone and the banana splits all on a regular basis,the forbidden planet dosen't really ring any bells with my memory.

thanks

It's possible this is where my first memory of Robby comes from as I watched alot of sci fi when I was a kid,born in 64...I do remember this robot was mean,evil and scary.



changed my spelling,noticed I was spelling Robby with an ie :wave:

If you can find the movie you should watch it . Like I said a classic and Robby was a nice guy in the movie

Very cool collection. I love your Robby's. I had one when I was a kid. After the robot from Lost In Space he was my favorite.

Forbiden Planet was one of the first big production Sci-Fi movies and one the all time greats of that era along with "The day The Earth Stood Still" "War Of The Worlds" and "When Worlds Colide" just to list a few. BTW: You can find alot of Robby's over on the Sci-Fi model board.

hmmm, I wonder where my memory of Robby being a mean robot comes from? maybe twilight zone? or maybe I'm just confused,that was a long time ago :lol:

I've always thought robot b-9 was pretty awesome,I always have this JL model sitting on my computer desk

 

[Stangfreak]

nice stuff. i think robby was on lost in space also

He was... He played the part of the bad guy, or I should say bad robot in one episode !!!

I just love the Fire trucks, George. The RTRs are awesome! He did show up on one or two episodes of Lost in Space. In the sixties, it wasn't unusual for very recognizable props to show up on many different shows. It still happens today, though with such complex effects and production they aren't as easy to spot.

+1. If you haven't seen Forbidden Planet, rent it. You will not be disappointed if you like SciFi even a little bit.

The plane pix are great. Most of us are driven by a love for cars as you can tell. I'll share a picture of my robot that sits on my desk. When I get wound up I wind up the robot and enjoy watching him walk around my desk...

 

[jitte]

I love those Robby Robots. The planes are cool too. One of my favorite castings is the Mad Props.

That old timey Bot is tops, 54belair. I was into AI for quite a while and would love to have one of those.
