Hey, everyone...Sorry that it's been months since my last post. Have had an extremely hectic several months.
But I just wanted to drop by to say hi and see what's new.

I got a nifty set of robot cufflinks, which I'll photograph when I get a chance and post for you to see.

I've also recently launched CineBot, a film review site, which covers all types of films. (CineBot is my robotic film-reviewing alter-ego. It's not a site for just robot films, though I hope to review a lot of 'bot films, including the animated 'Robots' coming out in March.). Check it out, when you get a chance. Content is light right now, but I hope to update it frequently: www.fadproductions.com/cinebot.htm

BTW, has anyone seen the design for Marvin the Paranoid Android in the new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy film, due out in May?

Hi Unwound, this is the first I have heard of a new Hitch Hikers film, and pleased you brought up the subject of Marvin, I have been trying to find out if a Marvin robot toy was ever made. Seems the sort of toy Trendmasters would be good at making.
Hitch Hikers is a favourite of mine and Marvin is great, I seem to be on the same wave length as him hopefully not quite so paranoid except when I keep getting outbid on ebay.
I have seen a Giant Robot made by Tomy which looks a bit like like Marvin but not sure, might be a co-incidence,
Anybody know if Marvin was ever made.

The new version does take a little getting used to, I will admit. I've got the TV version in my mind and that's kind of how I've always seen Marvin. I think the new one is also going to be extremely short, as well, since Warwick Davis (aka Wicket the Ewok from 'Return of the Jedi', the Leprechaun from the Leprechaun movies and Prof. Flitwick from the Harry Potter movies) is performing the body of Marvin. Alan Rickman is doing the voice.
