Run! It’s a huge animatronic Gort robot!

One of our favorite robots. Gort is from the 1951 science fiction classic, The Day the Earth Stood Still. He can now be yours if you have the stones and money, to own this amazing hunk of robot.

It’s on eBay (current bid is over $5000 with 2 hours to go.) It’s a museum-quality replica standing eight feet tall, and features some remote-controlled mechanical moves. The seller is only allowing local pickups because of the size. The fiberglass reproduction was handcrafted by the robot builders at Fred Barton Productions, and has been on public display for the last few years.

I must have it.
