Product Description

On a distinct planet, in a galaxy far away, this sci-fi icon was conceived. We have brought Gort back to planet Earth in the form of a classic tin wind-up robot, reminding us of the space age of yesteryear. Featuring a visor that can be manually opened and with a enough power to make a kid smile and grown-up reminisce.

I bought 2 of these, one for my husband and one for my 4 year old son. They both love it, but my husband has hidden his from his son for now! My son hasn't broken it, so it seems rather durable. He keeps it in his box and is careful not to misplace the key!

This toy truly looks and feels like as if today was the mid 20th century and you just got home with the latest and greatest new toy inspired by Hollywood. Much more authentic than normal toys you buy today.

My husband's favorite movie is "The Day The Earth Stood Still." We both remember it making it's debut on "Saturday Night at the Movies" in the late 1950's. It really stood out at that time. I bought him a Gort a few years ago, but one of our grandsons "fixed" it, and he ended up keeping it. This was Greg's replacement and won't see the light of day, but will be put away and cherished as Gort was meant to be.
My grandson brought his to school for "show and tell".
