DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! B-9 Environmental Control Robot
The year was 1965....
Irwin Allen's hit TV series "LOST IN SPACE" had captured the imagination of future space colonists across America. Every boy dreamed of being William Robinson.... And why not? Never before had "space" been so cool.
It is now over 45 years later and we still dream of having our very own Robot!
It is with this same enthusiasm that we are excited to announce the production and sale of Full Size, Limited Edition, Fully Licensed Replicas of this amazing TV icon!
ATTENTION HAUNTED ATTRACTION OWNERS!!! Use the Robot B9 animated prop in an "outer space" scene at your annual event! You can even get (optional) custom voice tracks recorded for your specific event by Richard Tufeld who was the original voice of the Robot in the television series. Or, use it as a way of making additional revenue by having your customers "pose" with it as a photo-op to remember their visit to your attraction!

This is a 6-1/2 foot tall, officially licensed replica of the B-9 Environmental Control Robot from the classic Lost In Space television series that ran from 1965 to 1968. Every detail of the original robot is faithfully reproduced from original archival molds, patterns and blueprints. It is made of fiberglass, acrylic, aluminum, and steel parts right down to its rotating torso and radar head, flashing lights, animated ear sensors and fully-articulated clawed arms. It can be operated manually and by remote control, allowing you to move its torso left and right and activate the robot's soil sampler. The robot has a 240-watt stereo system and speaks more than 500 pre-recorded phrases performed by Richard Tufeld, the original voice of the robot from the television series (including such familiar phrases as "Danger Will Robinson!"). Pulling the robot's "Power Pack" causes it to utter "Aaghhhhhh...." just as it did in the TV series when being shut-down. Plugging it back in prompts it to say "Who turned out the lights?"
Each Robot replica is hand crafted in the USA to ensure the highest possible quality, accuracy and collectible value. Due to the tremendous amount of labor involved in this process, the manufacturer's ability to produce this replica in large number is limited.
ROBOT B-9 measures approximately 78-inches (height) x 27-inches (width) and weighs around 275 pounds. Shipping cost is included in the purchase price.
