RIP BOBBY MAY

[JAS]

Awww so sad...loved the series and especially the robot. Always called him Robby as a kid cos he was so like the one in The Forbidden Planet.

RIP Bob and thanks for bringing to life a childhood favourite.

the man that designed the robot was the same man that designed robby the robot who was in one episode of lost in space in 'war of the robots' i can't recall the designers name

[bayman]

btw the robot out of lost in space was simply known as robot or as a b9 robot


according to the radio bob died of heart failure

RIP BOB

[JAS]

Always seemed odd that a character so obviously designed to appeal to kids didn't have a name.

...and who didn't want one of these at the time never got one though
That's the Japanese version but I remeber a UK one too.

[JAS]

ah that sounds more like...although I'll bet the toy ones will go up in value now too.

Still...give me characters like that any day over clever cgi stuff.

RIP Bob
