I think I got one of the last one of these robots! I hope more are available, because it's a faithful representation of the "Robby the Robot" that fascinated me in the movie, "Forbidden Planet." This movie was ahead of its time, and I think it is the best science fiction movie ever made. This is the Robby from that movie, and he actually walks while his "head dome" lights up. The remote control will allow you to hear Robby say a few phrases--and they sound just like the Robby in the movie. This robot toy should not be given to a child too young to properly operate and take care of it. I got it for the sheer nostalgia of it all. I had had a similar one as a kid back in the 1950s. So, this was a really good way to reconnect with the awe I felt as a child when watching that film. We still have a long way to develop a robot like the Robby that was envisioned half a century ago!

I'm a huge fan of the film "Forbidden Planet" and really wanted a "Robby the Robot" that would light up, and look like the classic robot from the film. I got that - and much more! He lights up. He walks. He talks with sound bites from the film. He moves his head. He moves his upper body. (!) Quite wonderful! I LOVE it!
