MisterPL Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Thank God it was filmed in color but "crewman?" They couldn't have given him a name? There were eight named crewmen. Geez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCW Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Awesome. Figured this was coming after the Vinylmate announcement. I sure hope Robby's dome is clearer than that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Is that Leslie Neilson? I'm going to need a few of that crewman figure. Its a great looking basic sci-fi uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were eight named crewmen. Geez. Obviously, he is not called that out of ignorance. I don't know that we have specific character rights, but if we are allowed to identify a specific crew member on the packaging I will certainly do so. Until then, he is a crewman, and you can name him whatever you like, or buy eight and name them all.

Trekker 42 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 So this is one of the licenses you were talking about in the thread where everyone is speculating on the Video Game License? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this property was already announced, I think there's another property coming (that coincidentally includes crewmen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappy Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Oh my yes, I will be buying this set. Some one has to keep B9 company. Edited December 21, 2016 by Cappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Paco Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I would love me a few of this 2-pack. I loved that movie and Robby the Robot was my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Since one of the unnamed crewmen was played by James Best (AKA Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane from Dukes of Hazzard), that's where I'm casting this poor guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that means DST will be offering a black & white variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice licence -robbiesmate Do they spell Robby's name differently in the UK? Everything I see has it as Robby. Unless you meant... No B&W RobbY planned that I am aware of, but never say never! And the Crewman will remain a Crewman. Packaging is locked. Start picking the name you want to give him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
