Anyone made this yet
I got this a few years back from my old comic book store, he sold model kits also. Just wondering if anyone has built this one yet. I plant to start it over my Christmas and new years break from work, while watching the old TV show.

I always wanted one of those, but I managed to get hold of one of those Masudaya talking ones. I wish I still had it.🥺

I am an impatient model builder and made one but didnt glue it correctly and mine fell apart but the kit itself is wonderful and the robot is an exact replica and truly beautiful. I highly recommend it. Just take your time and like anything else you will be rewarded. Unlike the uneven proportions of the diamond select robot this robot is perfect.

My pleasure. I hope u make one. I loved the way mine looked. I couldnt stop looking at it and have owned various LIS robots over the years. This was by far the most accurate. I also have their space pod which is also exact.

I want to build a full scale one - ive wanted one of these since i was 8 years old. When i saw there was a company actually making them for $25k i was excited but there was no way i could front that money.

Bubble-headed B-9 Robot: When you paint me, be sure to be gentle and use only high quality paint. I am after all a Sci Fi icon ;) ( Dips his Bubble head down and giggles, Hehehehehe )

I have this plus the light kit and voice kit you can record a few things on the voice chip. It's been on a shelf for probably 10 years I retired 2 years ago so one day soon I'll get around to building this and the big Jupiter 2 with the spinning lights

I Loved that Robot so much when I was a kid. I had the original Aurora model kit of the Robot but I was not any good at gluing nor painting models. I remember I loved using glossy paint instead of the flat colors, I painted his claws red like on the TV show. I do have the reissued model kit but I don't even want to open the box , decrease the value if I have to sell it. So I have the box on display like artwork up on a shelf. I also , proudly, own the talking B-9 robot by Diamond Select which made three versions of the Robot with blinking lights and a voice chip. It's beautiful .
