When you get into likneses, you have to deal with the rights holder and or the actor involved. The Dr. Smith kit from Polar Lights did not bear a strong resemblance to Jonathan Harris for this reason I believe.Gosh, I wish someone could make model figures of the Robinsons scaled for the Polar Lights Jupiter 2!
At that scale for the PL Jupiter 2, likenesses would be hard to duplicate. A generic head on a body painted the correct uniform colors would be more than enough to know who it represented without violating the actors rights.When you get into likneses, you have to deal with the rights holder and or the actor involved.

Yup, that is the only way to go. :thumbsup:At that scale for the PL Jupiter 2, likenesses would be hard to duplicate. A generic head on a body painted the correct uniform colors would be more than enough to know who it represented without violating the actors rights.
It is for this reason I do not really want model figures for my Moebius J2. If they cannot look like the actors but instead look like department store dummies, then I will settle for a lone robot B9 to stand watch. I guess the robot's likeness doesn't upset anyone.When you get into likneses, you have to deal with the rights holder and or the actor involved.

Take a look at Tim Nolan's wonderful double Chariot build here in this forum, complete with figures. Thats as good as they will get and they are a larger 1/24 scale.It is for this reason I do not really want model figures for my Moebius J2.

They have been...Why the Heck does'nt somebody recast the old 60's Remco "Switch n Go" set,they were Very nice figures with great details. They are worth a pretty penny now. I would DEFINATELY buy 2 sets!
Switch-and-go figures are scaled closer to the Moebius J-2.They have been...
Yes I know. they are nominally 1/32 scale. But yes they have been recast.Switch-and-go figures are scaled closer to the Moebius J-2.
