SHORT CIRCUIT 2 (1988) - Johnny 5 Robot Toy - A Johnny 5 robot toy from Kenneth Johnson's Short Circuit 2. Inventor Ben Jahveri (Fisher Stevens) street-vended his miniature robot toys. One wandering miniature, Johnny 5, caught the attention of Sandy Banatoni (Cynthia Gibb), prompting her to order 1,000 of the toys. The film was nominated for Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film and Best Special Effects.

This small Johnny 5 is made of cast resin with an array of twisted metal wires resembling cabling. It has a gray painted finish, with various blue panels and bronze-color embellishments. It features two rubber continuous tracks and was designed to be poseable, but has grown fragile with age. The eyes and some other finer details remain unpainted and the piece has undergone sympathetic restoration to reattach the head and repair the treads. It exhibits paint chipping throughout, exposing the resin underneath, and is missing its lower left eyelid and rear wheel section. Dimensions: 13" x 9.5" x 13" (33.25 cm x 24.25 cm x 33.25)

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

Estimate: $10,000 - 20,000
