Here's a quite scarce "Lost in Space" - full-size 1:1 scale
B-9 Robot Replica Icons Snow Globe Gift, from 11 years ago
in 1998. Depicts one of the "9" full-size B-9 robots the
pioneering replica company Icons manufactured and delivered,
after hundreds of thousands of dollars was spent in R & D,
prototyping and mastering. The first time in history that a
full-size licensed and authorized "Lost in Space" Robot was
ever produced and sold to the general public.
This custom made B-9 Robot Snow Globe, was sent to Icons as
a thank you gift from customers Mike and Nancy M. who were
delivered one of the "9" full-size B-9's made at Icons,
while the company endured countless back-stabbing by
un-licensed competitors, internal and external sabotage,
Internet slander campaigns (lead by an obsessive pedophile,
who was eventually arrested for Cyber-stalking and served
2 years in Prison), Studio greed, crooked Investment Bankers
and mass investor defaults. Including on Wall Street, where
the ambitious Company was to be taken public in 1998 in a
5 million dollar public offering.
Sadly, this never came to pass...and much like the Titanic,
Icons sank under it's own weight. It is still very odd how
the "9" full-size B-9 Robots which were manufactured by
Icons and delivered to Customers, are never mentioned in
discussions about the company. This snow globe depicts the
full-size Icons B-9 Robot replica standing proudly in the
now legendary Icons conference Room, against a back-lit
futuristic wall, Icons originally produced for use on the
Sci-Fi Television series "Babylon 5." The Icons Sun Beam
Logo is depicted on the back of the snow globe. The Snow
flakes are white and green metallic, looks awesome when
shook. Comes with the pieces original white box.
A very scarce artifact from the ORIGINAL and still the best
1:1 scale Studio Film and Television Prop, Wardrobe and
Miniature replica company of all time. All others are
just followers....who now stand on the shoulders of a
once great Giant."
