A Japanese new import by X-Plus! Robby the Robot from the 1956 sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet returns as a PVC/ABS collectible figure. Robby stands 13 5/8' tall with 10 points of articulation and sports a black and white paint scheme. Coming around July for about $120.00. :)

Thanks Roboto for the head's up...certainly we can all use yet another Robby figure. :rolleyes: One thing though, now, I know my eyes ain't what they used to be, :unsure: but this photo seems to show our Robby in glorious technicolor, not black and white. Hmmm...maybe they stole this from some other Robby because the paint wasn't quite dry on the new one? :blink:

I also looked at this pic and thought in time a few more would be added to the pics. July is quite a bit away and I will be watching this one from X-Plus to see how close it comes to the other version from them. It may even have a Ray gun with him hopefully but still the best one was this version with its lights and sounds and inner driver. I wonder if this new one will be a limited run and since it is a Robby will it have a cool looking box. :D

I was hoping that one day very soon X-Plus would do the same with a B-9 version with a figurine driver inside like the Robby version with lights and sounds. If they ever did it would be a sell out. :)

Looks like the time frame will still be around late July into early August and another pic has been added to this version with different smaller looking arms for now. :D

Another update on this Robby which now features articulated joints and includes Robby’s ray gun and alternate pincher hands. :)
