lol! it has that classic look!

Hi Joe! Thank for leaving such a kind message on my moc. I am very fine, my family also, and I sincerely hope you and yours also. It must be crazy times for you, two youngs sons, and then a new job! ih hope you like it a bit. As it is the thing we spend most of the time for more then forty years, it has to be, at least, a bit "joyfull". For myself, I still am very busy with slalom. Now I'm building my own specialist-slalom-vehicle, I just spend a full week on it. Glad my wife does understand me, and let me go :-) . What about Lego, well, I started a new project (two axles are ok), but I'm awaiting colder weather, so not to work on the slalom car, but spending lego time. Much greetings my friend!

The shape and the colors are just perfect. The will to give to your robot an "odd" look is awesome!!

This is such a killer creation. I love everything retro and this is pure gold.

YESS!

Fantastic! Love that giant toy robot! Perfect tile choices as well. Thought I favorited you ages ago, but I guess I didn't. That's about to change though.

Haha that is a funny twist :D

When I saw this I thought the robot was saying "Mummy! There's a kid in my room!"

Heh, TNT on his back. :P

ravishingly beautiful!

Hehe. I thought this was an actual "Mummy" when I clicked on it, but now I see.

Haha! Very funny!

Ha this is funny! I may try some wind up robot like this.

Yeah, that's so funny! I love the 1950s SciFi look of the robot. Great job! :-))

Haha! That is what my kids said when I showed them that is why I named it - Mummy!

"He took my Teddy Bear!"

Hi Gabor yeah his name is Frank. @ Ape thanks mate I will add it to the group

What a lovely creation! Very funny! And happy building to your son! (Frank?)

Boom! Another blogging Mr Swordsman! Brickpop: http://brickpop.com/2012/09/10/mummy-by-mortalswordsman/

Thanks Marcus, it must be the least technical use of that piece ever, but it fits perfectly. At first I wanted to make this model more funfional but I decided to keep it simple. @ Hi Hrvoje – no need to apologise, but it is always a pleasure to receive a comment from you. Thanks and I look forward to your next moc.

The genius of this MOC is in its simplicity... I apologize for the absence of comment on previous works.

Hehe, it's all fun (except for the boy). This is what that technic piece was really invented for ;-)

Thanks David and geoffrey glad you guys like it. Luckily it just came together nicely and some how I managed to capture that oldskool look.

this is fab well done looks like aproper toy robot .love the teddy

This is great fun and really captures the spirit of those clockwork tin toys. I particularly like the giant yellow winder.

Thanks Leda. Good luck in the MO, hope we don't meet again unless it is in the final :D

Haha brilliant!

Hi Helen!! Not sure why but your comment has only just appeared even though others have posted comments after yours. Maybe any comment from a ‘Shelby’ goes to moderation first Lol. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this, what a lovely surprise and it really means a lot. Glad it gave you a chuckle XD.

Ha! ALL HUMANS MUST DIE!

A 50's sci-fi nightmare! Send in the troops and get that thing to Area 51 for disposal.

Thanks Tim and George what brilliant comments to wake up to. The teddy bear really adds to the scariness I think. RUN AWAY! XD

Edit: (get it, Edit... yeah I know, I'm wearing that thin,) DUUUDE! Now I get it, Awesome! Where in the frack did you get that brick? The dynamite is BOSS too! Again, ripp'n cool MOC Joe! Z

DUUUUDE! Where to even start here! First off, killer use of the exotic fig! Secondly, the bot design is outstanding! Love the arms and legs, and the "wind-up" in the back is nothing short of GENIUS! Absolutely fantastic! Z

The little fig running and the robot holding the bear is the funniest thing EVER! Made me chuckle! Awesome robot, I love the little winders on the head!

HA! One never knows what to expect from you, Joe. I love this completely different direction. It's a robot, which is not to far out of your comfort zone, but you've added a bit of humor to it. My first thought is that a kid has a toy robot, and he's having a nightmare that his robot has grown to a monstrous size and is now chasing him. After, of course, this terrifying automaton has stolen his teddy bear, his only source of security. I like that old look to the robot. The wind-up features really add to the look. Especially in the ear positions. The tile work is random, (or might I say, random randomness), and also adds to the look. The addition of dynamite really gave me a chuckle. Great work, sir.

Great robot. The windup key is awesome. I'd be scare if a giant robot had my teddy too!

Haha thanks Riccardo :D. I love him too

fantastic old school Robot, Buddy.... ;o) I love this Bot.....

Thanks Jared, I had all my decorated tiles out trying to select the best ones.

epic!

Lovely job on the arms and legs, and all those cool little dials and knobs!

@ Nick Pascale – Thanks for the detailed comment. You have hit the nail on the head – the teddy bear in his hand really makes this a scary nightmare. @ LB jnr – yeah the photos are dark due to bad lighting conditions, but I am glad you like the moc. @ Lego Obsessionist – thank you so much for the blog, I am honoured by that. @ Hayden – That my friend is a brilliant idea, the inside is hollow and could easily fit the minifig inside, I wish I had thought of that. @ Senator – Thanks mate, I added the dynamite on the back especially for you buddie. @ Chris – Glad you spotted the ‘Z’ on the ‘baddie’ robot’s chest ;). It is from the Zorg (Toy Story 2) set . I am sure it will be available from CrackLink. I will try and find the part number for you from Peeron.com @ Patrick - thanks mate.

Poor kid!The robot is very neat and nifty! Well done!

Very Nice! I love the Use of the wind up key on the back, maybe you should have the clockwork robot sitting inside?

That poor kid! His innocent teddy bear stolen in broad daylight! Oh the humanity! Someone call robo-cop! =O

Great robot and NPU!

Hahahaha! The robot looks great, very classic sci-fi, but the kid he stole the bear from? Priceless.

Wow guys I can’t believe this, I have just got back from a family picnic to all these lovely comments. I am blown away by the response thank you all so much.

Blogged: http://lmotd.blogspot.com/2012/09/classic-robot.html

Nice use of printed tiles!

I liked the photography after all we are not professional photographers and do not have expensive studios! Now to the MOC---incredible! It captures a kid's nightmare well! I think the fact the ROBOT is holding the teddy bear makes it a bit scary! I also like the way you made this a place you could use your stenciled flat tile pieces from many sets! I also like the symmetry of the MOC and loved how even though you used the turn key from the collectibles for his "ears" you created a scale turn key for him! When did become a rating place a 5 out of 5 for example? After all we cast out "votes" above this comment box 5 heads and 4 heads get cast or evven 3,2 or 1!

Haha, very nice.

Gotta love those turn-keys! Classic all the way! :)

Very cool! It's done very well, I like the details throughout. But the photography could be better, especially on the main pic. It looks yellow-ish. :-) Still 5/5 -LB Jr.

Wow! You really captured the look of those old toys, right down to the subtle color differences in the gray plates you used. Nicely done!

Excellent. Very retro/eclectic.

Show and tell at school the next morning: "(Whoever the guys name is), why don't you have something to show and tell?" "Well Teacher, I was going to bring in my toy robot, but..." *CRASH*! "AAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!!"

Great 'bot, it has a real classic look!

Joost, mark, nick, loek - thanks so much. Out of the house right now but will respond in full later :D

Haha, this is great! I love how hes holding the teddy bear. :)

Hilarious!!

Hi joe, what a lovely creation this is! I extremely (!) like the yellow key to wind the robot up (does they say that like this in English?). You know, I've been building today! Yes, that has been a while. I tried a gearbox : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=370579 , but it doesn't seem a good solution for a trial truck. I'm sure in wintertimes I will post some new things. Much greeting!!!

LOL. I've been researching a lot of tin space toys and antique robots for doing paintings, so this one really connects with me. Great look to this guy. Love the use of the decorated tiles for the detailing. Fun piece!

Quirky, fun build. Is the teddy bear the source of it's power ?

Wait, here's your ''like'' :)

How great! Very well done!

Ahhh, memories. One must wonder though, what kind of damage he is planning with that stick of dynamite stuck to his back! ;)

I AM A RO-BOT. Thanks guys so pleased you like it, I wasn’t even going to post it until my kids persuaded me. @ MCLegoboy – Thanks, the tube is attached via two of those pieces I have used to attach the arms (modified 2x2 plate with technic pin). Inside the tube there is a 2 long technic axle to create the shape. I use tubes (and this technique) in most of my mocs. Thanks for the comment everyone :D

great!

Joe, you've outdone yourself. Wonderful robot.

Leave this body! Go back to the '50s!

Nice! I especially like the head, the mouth is brilliant.

That's not a mummy, it's a robot. You guys across th pond get me so confused when you use that word. I love the tube on to of the head, I have speculations on how it was done, but I'm not sure. Who cares anyway, it looks great.

Lovely MortalSwordsman! Really like the key!

funny built here! awesome look!

Very cool! I reeeaally liiike thiiiiss Roooobooot (in robot voice) lol

Wow thanks guys!! Just a bit of fun :D before the MO takes over the site.

Love it! What a great desk model : ) Simple, ace, cartoony brilliance. 5/5

Wow awesome build, and great piece usage

Really awesome,looks funny, I really like the details on the front.

Wow, pretty nice roboter. The picture speaks for himself. Great and funny creation ;)
