Need a sentinel to help around the house?

Gort the eight foot tall robot introduced in the 1951 movie ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’ is for sale on eBay.

No not really but this reproduction is very close to the real Gort. It is a remote contolled moving robot that reproduces sounds from the film. Made from fibreglass by master robot builders Fred barton.
