Toys and Games Reviews of Gort Die-Cast Wind-Up
Customer Review: Impressive, But Not as Strong as I Hoped Gort Would Be
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
