Who wouldn't want a replica of a genuine science fiction icon in their home? After first appearing in the 1956 MGM science fiction film Forbidden Planet, Robby the Robot made a number of appearances in other movies and television programs, making him one of the industry's most recognisable robots. In the film, the 6-foot 11-inch tall fictional robot was programmed to obey Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. This knowledge becomes important near the end of the film when Robby refuses to kill the Krell because the robot recognises that the creature is actually the \"id monster\" an extension of Dr. Morbius, and therefore cannot be hurt or killed. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masudaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42066436522241,"sku":"","price":979.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/5122\/8972\/products\/1996_Masudaya_Robby_the_Robot_16_inch_Model_In_Its_Original_Box._New_Old_Stock.jpg?v=1765816035","url":"https:\/\/mullardantiques.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/1996-masudaya-robby-the-robot-16-inch-model-in-its-original-box-new-old-stock","provider":"Mullard Antiques and Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
