Hi John! the size is the same as the model I gave you years ago! exact same size about 13 inches tall by 5 inches wide and 9 inches in depth plus yes it's hollow to allow for electronics and can be made into an R/C version after all it is fully articulated with movable treads.

milwaukeemachineman Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 The Final Boxed Version of the Johnny 5 Toy Robot is in!!! Just to let you know these are being sold by Joz Robotics and they set the price, I have no control over that aspect in regards to how much they cost, sorry I was just the designer.

Joe K. Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 . These first 8 posts are from September/December 2010. Since then, it looks like the original molds have fallen into the hands of a Hong Kong hijacker: http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-in-Mini-J5-Kit-fr-Short-Circuit-Needs-to-build-and-paint-by-yourself-Johnny-/321466012376?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item4ad8de12d8 .

Morbius Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Doesn't surprise me. I've seen the odd Johnny 5 kit for sale on e-bay and wondered if MMM was aware of these. Bound to happen, $150 vinyl monster kits have routinely been re-cast in dubious quality over the years and sold for $10 from Hong Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 They're selling well. Not surprising at that price. But there seems to be plenty of flash on those sprues and I'd hate to undermine MMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm surprised that it took this long to get hi jacked. Maybe Mike only had an agreement that was for so many years ? They seem to be selling a lot of them ! Since they mention short circuit and Johnny 5 I wonder why they have not been shut down by the legal owners/ movie guys yet ?

Morbius Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 He's only calling him "Mini J-5" and "Johnny". Guess the seller figures he'll get around it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Jeez, just noticed the aluminum Tobor the same guy's selling. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 After 61 or so years he's probably public domain unless someone out there owns Republic Pictures or the current incarnation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
