 Gort Aug 14, 2007
By R. Hildebrand
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!

Authentic Mar 06, 2009
By Nat
This toy truly looks and feels like as if today was the mid 20th century and you just got home with the latest and greatest new toy inspired by Hollywood. Much more authentic than normal toys you buy today.

Gort's a boomer's pleasure Sep 24, 2008
By Susan M. Brocker
"saulthoo"
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".
Impressive, But Not as Strong as I Hoped Gort Would Be Aug 06, 2010
By Fr. Charles Erlandson
If you love the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, then you'll love this toy model of Gort, the robot. Although at 9" he's not quite as imposing as the real Gort, he is, nevertheless, impressive! He looks just like the real thing (well, the real imagined thing), complete with movable visor. The wind up feature (activated by a removable key) is really cool, and Gort shuffles along like an arthritic android, in the fashion of any 1950s toy.
I bought him for my wife, believe it or not, to remind her of the demeanor she ought to take with our kids sometimes. She loves it!
My one complaint is that this Gort, unlike the original, is very destructible. His metal parts look like they're already separating, and my wife rarely uses him. Of course, she's lost the wind up key which doesn't help matters any!
Gort gets points for recapturing the look and feel of 1950s toys and simply for being a wind up version of Gort. He still looks good, just standing there waiting for the next "Klaatu Barada Nikto" command. However, I wish he'd been made sturdier, which isn't asking for too much.

 Disappointingly cheap quality Dec 20, 2009
By Ron Gierchak
I would have rather spent more and received a sturdier piece. The box it comes in is WAY cooler than the robot. One arm was broken. Pass this one up.
