You say Row-but - I say Row-Bought...... I Love robots.... and Ive sold
many over the years,, like the
remote control r2-d2 also Coke did a rippoff one thats hard to find..
the Masuda toy compant made some killer Robby the robots and even the
Maria from Metropolis... I almost sold some from a company in La called
ICONS however I heard they went belly up andsome people didnt get delivery.
I have several friend that made some replica Robots and My son made a
lifesize R2DR that he displayed
at the local theater on opening day of the 1997 Trilogy re-release and
it was featured on the local news..
The Honda asmnov Robot is spellbinding and I would like to make some
relica Robots from the 50s
and other large props. Actually before Icons came out with all that I
was trying to develope these props.. and the studios wanted 50K in
advance from me..To do a Road warrior Jacket.. I planned to have Miller
and Gibson sign them and I had the actual armor piece to make the
sholder piec as I bought a semi load of Football shoulder pads to try to
sell to Lucasfilm as stormtroopers.. It was like 1983. Lucas had just
finished the Jedi so they didnt think they could use it... So i sold
some for a movie called Metalstorm
to Doug white effects labs.. Then I landed distribution of chome plated
armor to Morris costumes
and sold it years in all the sci fi magazines Like STARLOG... find a old
copy and youll see my ads/
Funny part was the Girl in the ad//// Is actually a female
impersonator... that posed for me as in that
year woman where to afraid of wearing wild costumes... - GO figure...
Now.. Im considered tame
untodays world...
The armor was used by illistrators at TSR games for package covers by
Clyde Caldwell.
and Im told may have been used by some poster artists for models... It
was geatured on Real people as a battlestart gallachtega Cylon
centurion,, made by peter Mosen who had rent a alien company in NYC and
worked for Starlog....... ROBOTS ROCK!!! Mel Blanc was the voice Of
twiki from Buck rogers
he did the voice for me on the phone... he also did mr. spacely in the
jetsons

Mopoers,
If I may discuss posters for a moment...
Today I won an eBay auction for an "Abbott & Costello Meet Jekyll &
Hyde" lobby card. After many years of collecting movie posters, I can
now count myself among that elite group of collectors who buy
Universal horror. I congratulate myself.
