Note that after Robby the Robot appeared in this movie, he had another movie role in "The Invisible Boy", and then he appeared in a slightly modified version as the robot in TV's "Lost in Space". On November 21, 2017, the original "Robby the Robot" was auctioned, and it sold for $5.375 million! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that offered here is the extremely rare 11 1/2" x 17 1/2" herald that was distributed with the pressbooks (they were also sold to theaters, but those are even more rare). Because they were printed on newsprint, very few survive, and most of the ones that do have significant condition issues. The cover of the herald has a great image of Robby the Robot, and the interior is a 2-page 2-color spread with lots of great images from the movie (and it measures 17 1/2" x 23"). Condition: very good to fine. The herald has darkened somewhat but is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
