Forbidden Planet Light & Sound Walking Robby the Robot review 

Thanks Jim for this! Forbidden Planet was such an instigator of so many sci-fi classics including Star Trek. It was so meticulously crafted.

This looks great. I never saw Forbidden Planet, for me he exists as the Robotoid - it actually sounds like a similar voice? I’d love a B9, I’d absolutely buy that in a heartbeat.

I picked up mine up as well, I love it. It's a bargain for what it can do, and I love the sound clips. It's a shame it can't make me bottles of liquor though...

The reason he has a torso that looks like a wash tub is because among the designers of Robby was Robert Kinoshita who used to design washing machines. The head things in his head that go clickety are called Sax Valves. the sound effect that's like crackling and sizzling are from the part in the movie where Morbius demonstrates one of the 3 laws of robotics, he tells Robby to shoo Leslie Neilson's character with a blaster pistol and Robby sort of seizes up...and that's the sound. The movie was released the year I was born.

Awh so cute.

I got two of these while they were still at Walmart in their clearance area. They were marked down to 10 dollars that day. Wish now that I'd bought all four they had on sale.

I have Robbie, i wish they put out B9 at the same size

The fact that almost nobody posting here knows how to spell the name ROBBY, pretty much tells the tale.

The company who made this should also make a B-9 Robot from Lost In Space. This way Robbie will have a friend to interact with.

Whats the chance you will reenact scenes from the movie. I want to see the poster redone with Robbie carrying the movie babe.

I learned about the boom of these at Walmart back in '20; is there anywhere you can still get these? (relatively cheaply)

Did you mention it was only around $20. ? That's a great figure for that $. I went to Megacon Orlando last year, this one guy wanted $100. dollars for it, absolutely nuts!

Robby the Robot was in a twilight zone episode.

OH MY GOD!!! HE OPENED THE BOX. TRAVESTY! 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I bought 3 of them, at that price it was a no brainer. Going to sell a couple of them and keep one next to my B9 Robot.

Nice. One thing: The film was produced by MGM, not Warner. Also, the door you called a "hard drive" was his sampling port. One inserted a sample of anything to be reproduced and later - somehow - Robbie would create a huge supply of duplicates. E.g. when "Cookie" wanted some booze, Robbie drank a sample from his bottle and later created 60 gallons - in labeled bottles!

I have this. I wish it said more lines.

I regret not picking one up when they were at Walmart and I hope to get one.

The best crossover robbie ever made was in the twilight zone 👌 👏 😄

I wish he had more lines.

Does Robbie say 'Warning?!'

They not for kids. ... made for Adults .. companys should remake old tv shows toys for Adults Who lost them or missed out ......😢😢
