    Forbidden Planet?

    I know there have been several Robby the Robot models and toys over the years, but besides a set of plastic figurines from about 15 years ago, I cannot say I've ever seen a toyline based on Forbidden Planet. Were there any? I'd have loved a figure of Dr. Morbius.

    That was a great movie and I loved the Robot. Ahead of its time. You could make a custom of Dr Morbius.

      I've always loved the film (and its parallels to The Tempest). I recently re-watched The Black Hole and was struck by similarities the two films had.

        My X-Plus Robby is my favorite figure ever.
        If I could only have one figure, that's the one!

          I've seen lots of Robbie and Robbie-inspired toys over the years, but I've never seen anything else. That said, I wasn't really looking in the toy aisles for most of the 80's and 90's.

          I'm surprised no one has made an adult-targeted toy line. After all, imagine the use you'd get out of a Leslie Nielsen figure

            I have the 1/18 scale wind up Robbie and LiS robots. I have always wanted the car and an Altara figure in scale to it.
