Original 1968 Aurora Lost in Space Robot that I found at an antique mall around 1990, back when these originals were extremely hard to find. It was unpainted and dusty but I cleaned it up and gave it a loving paint job. Collectors use the term professionally painted rather loosely, but I can say that I am a professional artist and was an art director in Los Angeles for 40 years working at the major animation studios there. This model is complete and the upper body of the Robot swivels just like the real thing.

Note: This Aurora Robot was pictured in the ‘Classic Plastic’ 1996 Identification and Value Guide by Rick Polizzi, Emmy Winning Animation Producer and Author. Quite a few of my plastic models are pictured in this book. This item was listed on eBay on February 27th 2024 by eSeller Ace4Rider.

Value: $500.
