“Danger, danger, Will Robinson!” Oh, how I loved this show when I was a kid! It sparked my imagination and gave me a taste for science fiction, adventure, space and fantasy that I still enjoy today. We have all three seasons on DVD, and I enjoyed re-watching them with my boys when they were younger.
Of course, the Lost in Space Robot was one of the main attractions of the show, along with the adventurous Will and the villainous Dr. Smith. My boys still have a toy version of the Robot, but now B9Creations has announced the production and sale of Full Size, Limited Edition, Fully Licensed Replicas of the famous Lost in Space Robot.
They have really gone all out to make these as authentic-looking as possible. The parts are all based on the original molds. You can activate the Robot by remote control. Functions include turning the Robot’s torso left/right, directing the Robot’s voice to respond “Affirmative/Negative” and activating the Robot’s soil sampling sequence. The Robot also comes with over 500 voice tracks by Richard Tufeld, the voice of the original Robot. And here is a neat feature: it has a functional power pack. Pulling the Robot’s “power pack” will shut down the Robot with the “Aaghhhhhh…” sound, just as it did in the TV series.
However, with a price tag of $24,500 I won’t be buying one of these anytime soon. At least the price includes shipping!

US$25,000.00! You’d have to be a “Nickle-plated Ninny” to pay that much. (Wish I had the money!) But for that price I’d want to be able to get inside and operate it just like they did for the show. Great story!
Jack – “Nickle-plated Ninny!” I love it! I can tell you are a true Lost in Space fan. And yes, it would be fun to actually be able to get inside one of these things. Thanks for commenting!
Sir. I admire your work(what I’ve seen of it)but it leads me to ask, what else ya got? He would make an excellent starting point to ad to. The possibilities are endless. But the Proteus bots would, in my opinion fit the bill better. So, what else Ya got???

I have to tell you that I salivate over those robots. I was and still am a big Lost in Space fan. The robot was my fav. I acutally tried to build one when I was 8. I would head out right now to knock over a bank to buy one…but due to the financial crisis we are in, the banks don’t have any money either!
Skip – I am still a big Lost in Space fan, too. I had a lot of fun sharing this show with my kids when they were younger. Good thing the banks are out of cash; I wouldn’t want you to get into any trouble!
“You called me a-bellicose-bumpkin…self defense circuits activated”
sOULS I hit owerball,megabucks…I’ll order one….I do have one question,in two parts….
1-A: would it be possible to modify it/him to run on dc-battery power-as did the robot in thr original series?
I read that yrs ago in a interview with Bob May-(R.I.P.) that in order to safeguard against electical shock…the hero suit was set up to run either via chorded or battery.
IB:
I suppose it’s possible, but….wireless R/C control..? that’d be cool!
Sean – Never heard about the electrical shock bit. A remote control would be fun.
Its really cool just too much money needs to be around 5.000 and then maybe
I have to say you did it so what else does the robot do besides just direct answers?
There are a lot of people who remember the show and would love a chance to WIN one of these. Ever think B9 creations might raffle one off? $20 or so a chance? When they get to the 25K list price they select a winner. I’d give it a shot!
Sir I am very impressed B9 looks like the original and would be an awesome machine to actually own. I grew up watching, loving and still enjoy the show to this day. I really wish that I could afford one Im searching for the complete series box set.
A local tv station ME tv (memorable entertainment tv) has started airing
Reruns on Saturday night’s I love it!!!! I’ve always been fascinated by the robot
Anyway fantastic job on the replica great features who knows maybe ill hit the lottery and buy my own B9 unless you start a finance or layaway plan haha I’d get one on installments
Keep up the good work
A fan
I scrutinized a few still shots from the 1st season-Island in the sky,when Giants walked the earth,the angry sea. & I noted the legs DO NOT look like they do on lte pix or the replicas. The walking shot just outside the ship,getting the enviroment samples/estimates clearly shows different leg design… still the replicas are Soooo damn cool!
As for articulating the arms,that can be done via a small windshield washer motor,a servo-gear,2-or-4 telescoping push rods. the tread section is easier…all that is needed is a drive system,wheels from a electric scooter chair ( & a seperate batery of course )OR A KIDS POWER WHEELS RIDING TOY ( re-inforced to handle te energy load/weight & r/c components ) I’d seel a city block for replica & all the parts needed to do that…BUT,I don’t see that happening in this century ( unless I hit the lottery-then u’d be getting a call…!). KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
$24000 is a mighty hefty price – almost double the price of your average motor vehicle. I’d love it if you could make these more affordable – … I’d buy one at half the price.
So what do you say … ???
Cheers from Australia

I’ve read that Legendary Pictures is developing a new TV series that will be launched in 2018. I sure hope they get input from the fans that grew up with the original series. If they don’t the new series might end up being a bust. I think the 1st of the 3 television seasons was consistently the best of the three. There were also some great episodes in the 3rd year like “Visit to a Hostile Planet” and “The Anti-Matter Man”. My hope is they make the series a true family show that I can watch with my eight year old.
Ron – I agree, the first season was the strongest with some solid science fiction stories. “Anti-Matter Man” is a classic from season three.
A very good friend of mine ( Alan Petsche)bought one of these robots years ago and we were organizing a 60th birthday party for him. His wife Bonnie and the organizer wanted the robot moved to the Texas Rangers Ballpark here in Arlington, TX for the party. I pleaded with the organizer not to, well the top third after being separated was dropped and broke the dome and a couple of other pieces. I have known Alan for 40= years and my heart sank when this happened. Is there any way to fix this problem ?
Please reply. Jack Watkins 817-723-3534 txsdrummer@yahoo.com
Do you have any slightly damaged ones for in the $7,000 range
Rick – I wish I did!
Are the full-size Lost in Space robots still for sale?
David – I don’t know. I wasn’t selling them, just thought it was neat that somebody was.
Sounds like you’re ‘fleecing the flock’ for that much
Matt – Ha! I’m not selling them. I wouldn’t buy one at that price either.
I have one of these for sale. In 100% working condition. Robot is in MINT CONDITION. Awesome Robot. Contact me if interested.

Hi Ray hope all is well would you know where I can buy one?
Omg those are increadable . I’m broke or I would buy one . Well done very impressed
Hello,
Wonderfull B 9 recreations! Wondering if you ever considered a full sized, vacuformed version, either in whole or in kit form? This would suffice for display purposes, and could even be lit and rigged for sound as a static display for budget conscious folks in perhaps the 1k and under crowd. Hope to hear from you! Thanks

Hey everyone, thanks for asking about the full-scale Lost in Space robots. They are super cool, but I’m not the one selling them. I just linked to the article because I am a big Lost in Space fan from when I was a kid.
Here’s the link, but they are no longer in production:

When people hit the billion dollar lottery, some people buy lamborghinis, some buy mansions, some buy private jets. When I hit the lottery, I’m buying a Class M-3 Model B-9 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot.
PS Do you do military discounts?

Email me for any further info, pics etc. aqf1@bigpond.net.au
Best – Kevin.

Great work and a great show regards Colin O’Donnell Lexton Victoria Australia
Hello I am 57 and I have only a few months to live I would love to have one of theses B9 Robots just for a day to take Pictures with That Is my only wish Thank you Adam Sieb 407-729-9396 this is my cell number
Adam – I am sorry to hear of your situation. I would love to share one of these robots with you for a picture, but unfortunately I do not have access to any of these robots myself. I am a big Lost in Space fan from when I was a kid (I am also 57), and shared the pictures on my blog for those who would also be interested. I am also a Christian and believe God has hope for us even when we are dying. I don’t know what your faith is, but I would encourage you to check out the following link to learn more about God’s love for us in Christ and how God offers us life after death. Blessings, Ray Fowler (Here is the link: Two Ways to Live)
Adam – If you wish – Try an administrator at Hollywoodshow.com. They’ve hosted shows and autograph sessions with the LIS Cast – including a replica of the Classic B9 Robot. Perhaps they can get the owner of it to arrange something. Good Luck on what the future holds!
It’s now 2019, do you still have any of the B9 robots left if so how much are they now and are you willing to to donate one to a underprivileged youth robot program that me and a couple of colleagues are putting together, please let me know.

Gaaah! Now that I can afford one, I can’t get one! I hate suffering from first-world problems!
hi have you got a b9 robot if not do you know how i can get one as iunderstand b9 creations dont make them enymoor regards colin uk
It a great way investment.
do you still have any of these for sale. if so then how much? Also have to know how you ship it and what the charge is.
I have loved the B-9 since I was a child,I have dreams of just touching one in real life,its one of thous things that you do’nt think really exsist.But I Know i’ll never be that lucky,its just a dream,thanks for letting me see one,They are beyond words.WOW Keep Biulding. Dave Aldrich
Probably not making them anymore ?? not sure, I would love one of these more than anything, I want to give one a big hug, now in my 50’s I still remember many of the episodes as I go through them today, I started at episode one the other day, up to ep19 at the moment.
I used to walk around my house and many places we went with my arms in B9 position saying danger danger and other things he would say.
I have bought a kit to build of the B9 but it is only about 12″ I think, not sure yet.
In Australia there is not much chance of finding one and shipping would cost a fortune, probably like importing a car and then for it to arrive in one piece would be a miracle or even arrive and not be stolen.
Oh well i will go on dreaming of owning one, I am going to build a virtual pinball machine themed on Lost in Space so that will be exciting.
Love the B9,,,,
Yes! Please keep me updated on this! As a kid, I was a HUGE fan of “The ROBOT”. Always thought HE was the best character in the whole show! Now, as a HUGE adult? I’m STILL a fan. Wish the “Jupiter 2” and crew had returned home to stay. I know, I know! In the series they actually DID! Dr.Smith by going back in time ti “LIFT OFF” day and at the end of the series run, the WHOLE crew as the ship passed by but couldn’t divert to make orbit and land back home. Pity. I guess the producers were hoping the network would reconsider its decision to CANCEL the series.
Also wish the movie had been done better too! (Very WEAK, dissatisfying story!) Maybe then they’d’ve made a couple sequels, a new TV series too, eh? Wish they’d try again!
Do u know of anyone in Australia who may have one for sale

I would like to buy a completely built & working robot OR a complete kit with all need parts (if) I was to take on the project… Can someone please tell me if in 2022 I can buy one complete & well built? Or at least buy are the parts complete and all at once?
Thank you,

You can check with these guys here: http://www.b9robotbuildersclub.com/
i REALLY THINK Y’ALL SHOULD GET BACK TO MAKING MORE.
Put a lithium ion battery Bank with a charge controller put a couple of flexible solar panels in its head and an inverter that goes from 12 volt to 110 volt wire it up to that system. you can put the battery Bank into its torso legs and the rest of electric components in the torso itself use one of the sliding transparent doors on the torso for USB plug port for inside power system charger as for the automated system put an AI unit computer system on board
If I could have the opportunity to obtain one of these I would definitely be upgrading the system not to be animated but more or less of an AI with its own power source of lithium ion batteries for its power source but unfortunately the price is way out of range you would sell so many of these things if you would make it more reasonable for people to be able to buy them or they’re just going to sit there and click dust and it’s a shame you did such a good work in the designs of it but stopping us from buying it. I have designed a robot that has the forbidden robot upper section to fit on top of the Lost in space robot with the robot wheels track of short circuit robot I call it robitron but again to obtain the shell in the components of these robots are astronomically high and as I said you could sell a whole lot of them if you would just come down on your price.
B9Creations made 62 of these robots in the 2 years it held the license to make and sell them. This was back in the early 2000’s. So they’ve long since stopped making them.
I do not know if anyone is currently licensed to sell B9 robots. I looked on Fred Barton’s site and he offers ‘assembly’ for a fee if you purchase the parts via the B9BuildersClub. That page is dated 2019.
Curious? Check out his site at http://the-robotman.com/b9-robot
Can these B9 robots still be ordered?

HI Mike , I am interested in buying a FULL SIZE B-9 Robot for my Home/Theater. I do not see a price on your website.
I live in Wisconsin, and I have looked at the B-9 Robot builders site, but would really prefer to purchase a working unit. Im looking for a new unit, but would also consider a used B-9 Robot.
Please get back to me. Cheers! Bob
