  • As big fans of Short Circuit, we fell in love with these custom 1/6 scale Johnny 5 robots built for this year's Wonderfest modeling convention! Chatting with the owner of one of these figures, we learn how they were meticulously made and painted by Macabre Custom Builds, recreating not only Johnny 5 but also the three reprogrammed Nova robots AKA the Stoogebots!

    Most people cried when E.T. was dying, but for me, in the sequel, Johnny Five being almost beaten to death broke my heart, when he gets revenge it is such an amazing moment, so I totally understand wanting that version of him. I get it.

    The remote controlled miniatures that were seen in Short Circuit 2 were made by Alchemy II, who were also the creators of the original Teddy Ruxpin bear (distributed by Worlds of Wonder). My father was a draftsman hired by Alchemy II about a year after the Ruxpin toys became big. Miniaturizing the Johnny 5 robot into the little toys was one of the projects he worked on. WoW wanted a Disney version of the Ruxpin toys (same tech and functions, but with Mickey, Donald, Goofy, etc.), and my dad was one of the designers working on it, but WoW kept changing the specs, delaying the program, and then went bankrupt taking Alchemy with them. 80% of the workforce was let go, including my dad.

      Disney/Marvel constantly changing it's mind at the end of a Movie so the CGI people have to redo effects over and over resulting in time crunch and sub par quality just to get stuff out the door in time is something i keep hearing more and more lately.
      Your story here sounds like that was just what they always did. Seems to be a mentality thing... reminds me of that contractor from the Pam and Tommy story.

    Why was this not a trilogy? I would have watched a 3rd movie. I think a lot of people would.
    The house Ally Sheedy lived is still there in Astoria, Oregon, you can rent a room, it's a B&B now with movie pics everywhere.
