ROBOT JOX (1989) - Alexander's (Paul Koslo) Hero Mechanical Robot Puppet - Alexander's (Paul Koslo) hero mechanical robot puppet from Stuart Gordon's Robot Jox. Confederation champion Alexander piloted his giant robot to fight against Market robot jox Achilles (Gary Graham) and Athena (Anne-Marie Johnson) after killing nine of his previous opponents that he had a distinct advantage over thanks to a Confederation spy in the Market.

The film's colossal mechs, designed by conceptual designers Ron Cobb and Steve Burg in coordination with Gordon, were brought to life through a combination of stop-motion animation used for the wider shots and rod-and-cable puppets used for close-up shots of the robots in action. This hero robot is of the latter type.

This puppet is constructed from resin-coated fiberglass with a metal armature interior and mechanical metal cables for operating the puppet extending out its back. It is painted black with yellow stripes and chrome-color details on its body to appear metallic.

Following production, this puppet underwent sympathetic restoration to secure various loose components and remount its legs. Nonetheless, some detail pieces remain missing, the fiberglass exhibits cracked spots, and no replica components have been added. Its vibrant paintwork is all original to the production. Dimensions: 32" x 20" x 55" (81.5 cm x 51 cm x 139.75 cm)

Contains electronic and mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $10,000 - 20,000
