Will Robby The Robot Be Under Your Christmas Tree?

Our Christmas message to the parents of the world has been clear and firm: Steer clear of the hoard of robot toys flooding the market this year. But there is one robot toy out there that has piqued even our jaded interest; exotic gifts boutique Hammacher Schlemmer is selling a genuine seven-foot tall replica of Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet.

Not only is it huge and made from the original molds, but this robot is also remote controlled, so it can rotoate its head, spin its scanners and flash its lights. Plus, it has a built-in speaker system so Robby can talk to you. Awesome! And it can all be yours for the low, low price of $50,000.

Dear Santa . . .
