1/6th scale Robby the Robot from X-Plus / Medicom

This is the first I've seen on this one:

I've been itching for a good and proper 1/6th Robby for several years and this one does look fantastic! Unfortunately, the price tag is also quite a bit heftier that I'd care to see (30,300 yen)

I've never heard of X Plus, what else do they make?

Yowser. That looks great. Don't really need it to come apart, or the extra figure. It'd be great if it had a feature like the Go Hero usb function, working lights and it talked, then it'd be worth it, but I guess it's only a suit. More information please. Robbie's popularity means it will sell out.

Found this. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10105102

Say's it's an X-plus product manufactured by Medicom. Not sure if it's the same item or not. Says 27,170 Yen, about $300. Release date February.

Awesome. I always wanted a Robby. To bad it's a "suit" though - for that price I'd want a few lights in it at least. Don't need the gimmick of the figure inside it, which probably added a bit to the cost.

I first heard of X-Plus when I was really into Godzilla in the late 90's early 00's. They did the same kind of thing with Gamera and Godzilla as rubber suits with 1/6 figures in them. Cool idea if you like it to be a replica of the movie suit. They are a bit overpriced though. Must be the Medicom influence. They haven't caught on that the rest of the world thinks they aren't worth the money yet I guess.

X-Plus also makes a SUPER RARE AvP Scar and Grid vinyl figure set.

Not too many people know about these.

Robby looks pretty nice.

The figure has some ugly elbow joints lol.

Wow!!! That is awesome... always wanted a Robby the Robot; maybe this will be the one. And now I guess we know where that Keven Spacey looking head came from.

X-Plus also made some very cool Ray Harryhausen pieces... here is their Cyclops:

Was it X-plus that made the Godzilla which had a figure
inside? like the way it was on set.

 

[galactiboy]

Not that I know of; Medicom made one and so did Takara.

Later there was also a Microman series which were Microman figures in Godzilla suits.

 

[yodasan]

You are right - I was thinking of the Medicom Godzilla.

 

[ALV427]

The Medicom Godzilla is so cool.

12-inch suit? Sounds like someone is trying to get around a licensing agreement.

Looks cool though.

I wonder if X-Plus ever made a Jet Jaguar? Hell, I wonder if anyone has made a Jet Jaguar 12" or even a statue? Always wanted to buy one.

I was thinking that they were making them similar to the earlier releases of Godzilla, Gamera, etc.

Now I'm not up on my SciFi history, but was the original Robby a rubber suit?

A suit, yes...rubber, no. I want to say it was fiberglass but am not 100% positive.

hahaha those look terrible. i hope you paid through the nose for them.

 

[galactiboy]

Prefused; is your avatar the creature from the end of the 2nd Conan movie? What is the picture of?

 

[wookster]

That looks pretty cool, bit spenny though!

yep. his name is (was?) Dagoth The Dreaming God.

Conan 2 was a lousy movie, but i still enjoy it for some reason.
