Retro Robot
 

I have a feeling even Boss Radio might enjoy one of these!

Your very own Robby the Robot

Of course, not for the faint of heart financially, he's 24k!

Or, you can join their club and build your own. Geeks.

I read the full list of what he can do...and I can't believe there isn't a video! I never watched the show, but this thing is awesome anyway.

Well, CP, if you've see Forbidden Planet (MGM overblown sci-fi of the 1950s in glorious technicolor) then you've seen Robby the Robot.

Robby the Robot has also made appearances on TV shows of years past, such as Twilight Zone, Dobie Gillis, The Addams Family and many others.

There should be more information forthcoming on Robby the Robot on one of my favorite sites. I'm not sure why it isn't up yet. (Ahem!) But in the meanwhile, Robby entered the Robot Hall of Fame the same year as C-3PO, 2004. For a list of when he's been seen, Wikipedia seems to have a pretty good list going.

How funny! We were just watching Lost in Space last night.

Well, he would look pretty swanky (and pity you did not have one in the entry for NYE)

we used to watch it back in original release when I was a kid. my brothers and I just loved it

I tried to watch a bit of it recently. its just soo incredibly dated and..campy I guess would be a word for it, that I just cant do it.

Um, Robby the Robot is NOT the Lost in Space robot.

His name is ROBOT.

Robby the Robot is the other classic robot, predating Robot by many years. He premiered in Forbidden Planet (1956) and went on to appear in a couple of B-movies and a Twilight Zone episode (or was it Outer Limits?) Either way, the very cool, lifesize, $24,000 robot being offered on the linked website is the ultra cool ROBOT from Lost in Space.


Don't call him "Robby."

I do believe he did appear on Lost In Space at least once.
