Apparently, Johnny 5 is alive...

Someone decided to finally make the nightmare of a 1/6 project a reality...

2k for that!?

I wonder why Neca hasn't made Johnny 5. I'd buy one.

I mean, I would love a Johnny 5, but not $2k love a Johnny 5.

Actually there are many artists offering a 1/6 Johnny 5. Check out Titan Ross and his group on facebook.

Planning on 3D printing one and calling it done

Me too. I have a resin printer and it looks like that's resin printed.

I posted this 1/12 version around five years ago:

My Johnny 5

I would kill for a good (affordable) Johnny 5 figure. I've wanted one for over 30 years.

Nice but overpriced. You can commission a superior 1/6 figure made personally for you for cheaper than that. There are a couple really talented people out there who make highly detailed scaled replicas.

I'm not talented enough to rival these types of products with my own abilities, but I did my best on my own figure a while back. Dont have a resin printer so mine was FDM printed.

That looks very good for FDM. Where did you get the files?

All the free ones I've seen have looked too basic so far, especially with his tracks. Want to do one on my resin printer when I find a good quality version. I found a paid one I liked, I'll post the link below. I just need time to go through them all and compare to the real J5.

And there's a cool FB build group of all J5 sizes.

For $2k I'd expect it to be remote controlled at that size!

The files I used are a combination of multiple existing remixes plus a few of my own tweaks and additions: Printables
It doesn't necessarily have the accuracy or the detail you might be seeking for resin printing (and the tracks are still disproportional), but for the limitations of FDM printing it worked out pretty well.

If you're on the hunt for good files with higher accuracy for resin printing, this appears to be a pretty good set to start from (though I haven't used them myself): GitHub - ThaFresh/openJohnny

Here's a couple more pics of mine:

Good job

Here’s my 3D print-not 1/6 scale and not 100% accurate, but it makes me happy to have him.

I had Short Circuit 2 on VHS as a kid, and I always wanted one of those little Johnny 5's that guy made. Tragically, to this day, they have yet to be made. Perhaps one of the set props is available. They likely aren't in 1/6 scale though!
