Polar Lights: Robot from Lost in Space – LIS (1997)
"Warning, Warning! This kit is a pain to build"
This is a copy of the Aurora LIS Robot and is made in a hard tan plastic. As a copy the parts need careful clean up and alignment. The toughest job was getting the seams taken care of and finding color photos of the real thing. Of course after finishing it I found what I needed. It comes with base and a red clear plastic death ray or something. The top plastic dome is in two parts and I simply sealed the parts with Future floor wax. There is another larger version as well, plus the famous Robbie the Robot.
Lost in Space was my favorite TV show back then and never watched the other show.
"Danger Will Robinson!"
Love it, David!
A nice break from the "usual" modeling subjects, as well!
Just a bit different. Thanks Spiros.
Nice job on building the LIS robot. I still have the one I built in 1969 but it is not in great condition. I did pick up the one released by Polar Lights a couple of years ago and hopefully have it build.
You Bob, I think we both have the same models in our display case. LOL.
Never missed an episode. The repartee between the robot and Dr Smith was always a highlight and your model really looks the part.
Those two made the show sometimes. The actor who played Dr Smith also played a doll repair guy in Toy Story II.
Danger, Will Robinson! Loved the first season, then it got a bit silly. Looks great.
Yeah it became a monster of the week show. But for me it was fun.
Really nice, David (@thevid). Lost in Space, in all it's versions, is still one of my favorites. But it is hard to beat the original.
I looked forward to each episode. The first season is probably the best and loved that tracked vehicle.
Really something different, David.
Nicely done.
Thanks John. I have the larger scale version of the robot by Polar Lights. That has rubber arms and legs if I remember correctly.
