If you havenât seen 1990âs Robot Jox, well, stop reading. Go get a copy. Because itâs just about the best thing ever. A combination of Cold War politics and stop-motion giant mech combat, it told the story of a future in which international disputes were settled not with wars, but with gladiatorial battles betweenâŚgiant mechs.
Props specialist Rocketbobs has spent four years recreating the âheroâ of the movie, Achilles. Whatâs awesome is that this isnât a replica toy. Itâs a restoration job of one of the âpuppetsâ used in the filming of the movie, meaning its fully poseable, lights up and was even patched up using parts from models used in the finished film (assisted by an original blueprint used in the production of Robot Jox).
