Whaddya Mean, It Doesn’t Walk?

If, like me, you always had a secret desire to have your very own Robby the Robot (the real star of Forbidden Planet), then the Hammacher and Schlemmer catalogue has just the thing for you. It’s a handmade, accurate, and life size (it’s 7 ft tall) replica of the original.

 

Just two slight problems. One being the price tag (a cool $49,999.95). The other being the fact that although it can "rotate its head and spin its planetary gyro stabilizers", it can’t actually move around. I’m sorry, but for $50,000, I think that’s the least it should be able to do…
