A model miniature Johnny 5 robot from Kenneth Johnson's comedy sci-fi sequel Short Circuit 2. After living robot Johnny 5 learned that Fred (Michael McKean) intended to sell him, he escaped by crashing through an office window and deploying a glider to fly through the city.

This model is mostly made of cast resin and wood, with a metal shoulder bar and joints. It has a highly detailed paint finish in metallic grey, with a red toolbox and bronze-and-blue panels and buttons. The model features a swivelling head, and moveable shoulder joints, elbows, eye guards, toolbox and back wheel. A motor and wiring are present inside a removable front panel on the body, indicating the model was once remote controlled.

Accompanying the model is Johnny 5's yellow-and-orange glider, which is made of resin and biscuit foam, with a metal frame that can slot into the back of the model, though this should be attempted with care. This lot exhibits wear from production use and age, including paint wear, chips, and cracks to the front treads, back wheel guard and surface of the glider. Dimensions (robot): 28 cm x 21.5 cm x 39 cm (11" x 8 1/2" x 15 1/2")

Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: £40,000 - 60,000 M
