(More customer reviews)I went back and forth over whether to purchase this. I have the solid metal 5 inch Gort, very cool, as well as the wind up Gort so I figured...maybe...we'll see.
Let me explain. I wasn't looking to accumulate Gort's...I just saw them over time and liked 'em...so, I got 'em. I do love the 50's sci-fi genre. Reminds me of when I used to watch the "4 o'clock movie" after school in the mid 70's. I now have most of them on DVD. "The Day the Earth Stood Still", "Earth vs The Flying Saucers", just to name a few...can't beat 'em...great stuff!
Well, I bought this Gort. It's BIG! (keep that in mind when thinking of where you're going to put it). Overall...it's growing on me (no pun intended) but, you really have to think about whether you want to spend the money for this one...not to mention the shipping. I priced it on at least a half dozen sites just to see if this one was "really out there" and the prices were all the same. So, unless you find someone on eBay selling one cheaper...it is what it is. By the way, neither of the sites I visited mentioned what it was made of. I figured it was resin and, unless I'm mistaken, it is. It's not heavy at all.
For what it's worth, here's my take on this. The product is cool. The price is a joke. But, we all like different things. So, if you have a couple of extra bucks just eating a hole in your pocket for this one...go for it. I look at it this way, if it makes you happy and you can spare the bucks...have a blast!
It IS pretty cool... once you get beyond the sticker shock.

The Day the Earth Stood Still GORT 16in Collectors FigureThe 16â? Gort Collectors Figure features 6 points of articulation, and is accompanied by a 4-color window box with a fifth panel. The indomitable Gort is sheathed in seamless silver armor; his broad hinge-plated visor conceals the port of his all-powerful beam weapon. Gort belongs to an interstellar police force obliged to address primitive and hostile planets such as Earth. In the Day the Earth Stood Still, Gort was represented by the humanoid emissary Klaatu. Klaatu attempted to convey the voracity of his mission, but when he was turned upon and wounded, he struggled to return to his vessel in order to impart the phrase â??Klaatu barada nikto!â? before Gort routinely annihilated the Earth.
