"FROM THAT CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION FILMS COMES THIS MENACING ALIEN CREATION..."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on box art for GORT Metal Collectible Figure (made by Rocket USA Inc., c. 2000). Straight out of the classic sci-fi film "The Day The Earth Stood Still" (1951), the alien robot Gort is ready to cause mayhem! Figure measures approximately 5" tall.Â
"...On a distant planet, in another galaxy, it was conceived. Designed by the people of that planet as a keeper of the law. A galactic policeman.
As our exploration of space and technology advanced, we became a threat to the law. It was sent from that far planet to our Earth as a warning. We were told the law is to co-exist in peace on our own planet and with others in our universe. Obey our law or suffer the consequences.
With enough power to destroy a planet, it is ready to enforce the law! It is called... GORT."
