Mr Roboto

[Rob MacKillop]

Hilarious, Pete!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Daguerreotyped!

 

[Pete Askew]

Surely a tin-type would have been more appropriate!

Nice.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha ha. I think I can do that...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Et viola!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I think I prefer the original!

why haven't i seen these before? we need a vintage sci-fi toy thread.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Now did Robby not appear in lost in space as well? Any chance of an 'in operational mode' shot @Chris Dodkin or would he interfere with the DSG technology?

He did indeed Kev - in fact when I looked online, seems like Robby was a busy chap after that initial movie!
