Robot V

thingiverse

Robot V is a 13-inch robot model kit meticulously crafted in SolidWorks 2015. This iconic toy/model kit is an exact replica of Johnny Five, the brilliant robotic leading character from the 1986 classic film Short Circuit. Developed by the ingenious Mike Van Plew and Thomas Jozwiak, also known as wizojoz, in 2009, Robot V was manufactured in China with only a limited production run of less than 1000 units. It stands out as the sole publicly available action figure of J5, making it a rare collectible for enthusiasts. The toy is injection molded, resulting in parts that may seem unusual at first glance. However, this unique design is not a replica of the original movie prop; rather, it's an original creation by Mike Van Plew. As such, Robot V is intended solely for non-commercial use. Encouraging creativity and innovation, the community is invited to freely modify and add custom elements to the robot model kit. The developer eagerly anticipates seeing the diverse modifications and enhancements created by fans.
