Jun 4 2008LEGO Johnny Five Is(n't) Alive
This is a LEGO Johnny Five. As you may recall, he's the robot from such films as Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2. Brothers Brick user rack911 made him, and I've got to admit he's looking pretty damn good. Small, but good. Especially the eyes. They remind me of an ex-girlfriend's. Blue and piercing. That chick could burn a damn hole through your skull if she stared long enough. Although truthfully, she was a lot less like an actual girlfriend and a lot more like the Chirsty Brinkley poster I hung above my bed in college. Ahh, she and I shared many romantic evenings in that dormroom after my roommate was safely asleep. And sometimes when he wasn't. HAHA, I caught you watching that one time, Ben!
A couple more pictures and a link to the full gallery after the jump.

Build me a Lego Fisher Stevens...then I'll be impressed.

Seriously, that's pretty sweet. I'd buy that kit. There's never been any Short Circuit merchandise.....except for that orange juice my grandpa drank in the 80's.

Oh great. Just when I got used to all the Pixar "Wall-E" promotions, this has to be posted and hurt my brain. Thanks Geek writer.

That's pretty cool.
I just finished a sketch of Johnny 5 angrily chasing WALL-E in a junkyard with the cast of the Brave Little Toaster watching.
Idea came to me yesterday. And BAM! This is up today. Pretty funny.

Jack, I must have that sketch. How much? Or you could just email it to me... whatever.

Whoa. I wasn't expecting anyone to be interested.
Sure, let me try to hammer my scanner into working. If I can get it up, I'll throw a link in a comment.

No disassemble! (Oh come on, someone had to.)

Jack: very well done. Well done indeed.
I'm glad they made this out of legos...about damn time. I love my old friend Johnny 5!
The vid #10 posted is pretty neat too (or rather the robot within the video).

Thank you, guate6!

Oh Jack, you are truly an internet superhero.

The LEGO Johnny5 is impressive, but again it's a Lego Version and there have been many....Too Many! There are others who are building actual life-size versions, and other artist's who build scale models that look more like the movie version.
Here's my model that I built......Hope you enjoy it!
