- On a distinct planet, in a Galaxy far away, this sci-fi icon was conceived.
- Rocket USA has brought Gort® back to planet earth in the form of a classic tin wind-up robot, reminding us of the space age of yesteryear.
- Featuring a visor that can be manually opened and with a enough power to make a kid smile and grown-up reminisce.
Wind him up and watch him go! This Gort wind-up tin robot toy stands 8 1/2-inches tall and features walking action and a visor that can be manually opened and closed. He comes packaged in a collectable box featuring original artwork by George J. Eisner. Gort, Master of the Guardians, appeared in the 1951 Science Fiction epic 'The Day the Earth Stood Still.' The first robotic representation of alien technology to be displayed on screen, Gort was the prototype for the strange machines seen in movies today. 'Klaatu barada nikto.'

My husband's favorite movie is "The Day The Earth Stood Still." We both remember it making it's debut on "Saturday Night at the Movies" in the late 1950's. It really stood out at that time. I bought him a Gort a few years ago, but one of our grandsons "fixed" it, and he ended up keeping it. This was Greg's replacement and won't see the light of day, but will be put away and cherished as Gort was meant to be.
My grandson brought his to school for "show and tell". |

| I got this item for my husband as a silly Christmas gift because he likes Gort. He liked it and it stands on our shelf unit with the Devo Doll he bought last year. It is more for amusement than actually playing with. |

I bought 2 of these, one for my husband and one for my 4 year old son. They both love it, but my husband has hidden his from his son for now! My son hasn't broken it, so it seems rather durable. He keeps it in his box and is careful not to misplace the key!
