You know there was a guy that made a 1:12 scale version of Johnny 5. I wonder if it's the same person? The models look very cool. I'm s big fan of the movies.
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.
I did a video (vlog?) about it about 8 years ago. It's not all that good, but I did have a couple of pictures of my dad on the shop floor with the life-sized Johnny 5 and the several remote, miniature toys they made for the Short Circuit 2 movie. ruclips.net/video/ZetBLrVj7Wo/видео.html
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.
Johnny 5 is one of those characters where ya just want a nicely done figure of him but all the companies that produce figures look away from it. Also, I love the fact the guy had them set up doing the "Three Stooges" bit from the second movie. I loved that part.
@@hackman669 in this video or in the film? Lol I always wondered why Number 4 didn't get much screen-time myself, and the deleted scenes (mostly seen in the end credits) where they fly the r/c plane, Number 5 exploring etc
My friend made these!! Lol. I have the original 1/10 scale prototype as well as numbered #1 of the first batch od production run 1/10 scale. Morgan. Is a fucking wizard with his hands and you should see his incredible diorama work he does 🤌 he's so talented and I'm happy to see my homeboy getting the praise he deserves 🙌 I love tested
I'm so glad to see this. There are sooooo many knock off chinese scams on facebook that'll take pictures like this and "sell" it as their own. So knowing how to get to the "real deal" is a big plus.
Been dealing with Morgan for years and I can say he is as solid and honest a dude as there ever was. I can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for customs
@@brooksysdead Awesome to hear. I see so many cool things on FB that after the first click, you can tell it's a chinese scam, so I quit looking for things.
Us locos blew my mind. I love the first movie so much, I even want an articulating are from the opening scene in the lab. I am doing the voices in my head now, this made my year.
@@wcookiv I wish I could do miniatures! These J5’s were done by Morgan Leavitt, there’s a link in the video. Myself and two friends had these commissioned, we thought he deserved some recognition so we entered them on his behalf
Same here, plus i would have to import and my local import customs has already messed up a 80€ order of custom Etsy stuff i waited over half a year for. I don't feel like going through that anxiety again.
The first Short Circuit was my favorite movie when I was a kid. The 2nd one made me cry, because I thought they killed my hero (I was a little kid, cut me some slack). So, yeah, I’d love to have one of these.
These are so cool. I heard they couldnt release a toy back when the films came out as it was seen as too costly. Id sbap one up even a monthly build with magazine. There just putting it out there.
These are truly awesome. There was an epic Lego Johnny 5 build submitted to Lego, but it didn’t get enough upvotes to be made into a retail kit. Couldn’t Adam have enough sway to convince Lego to reconsider? Maybe get the craploads of subscribers to petition?
I always wanted a little RC Johnny 5 as a kid! Now I want a fully automated one with lidar and computer vision, so he can map his environment and recognize objects. Surely that's not too much to ask for.
Thank you. 🤩 I have been looking for this on my own, but unfortunately, the market has been flooded with knockoffs of dubious origin. I will absolutely visit the pinned link.
i want one !! but cant seem to figure out where to go to actually get one i cant seem to figure out their website.... You may even send it to me in parts so i can build it myself i dont mind it would even add to the experience.. Been a HUGE Johnny fan even since i first saw the movie as a kid.. where do i go ? *Edit :: Gambody has a model, im going to 3D print him. Thanks 💖
Am I the only one that's just gonna say these are models of "Number 5" not "Johnny 5". He didn't name himself Johnny until the second one, and he had replaced his laser weapon with a red toolbox by then.

WOOHOO my 5 minutes of fame being interviewed by Norm!! it was such a cool experience getting to discuss these awesome models for the world to see.
Dude, I'm 100% with you on needing to see the punk rock Johnny 5!
@@smanni01 I know a guy....
You're so cool! Short Circuit was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and I always wanted a miniature Johnny 5. ^_^
@@shinigamimiroku3723 Thanks so much, Norm is so cool and such a nice guy, my friends and I were so happy to get these Johnny 5's!
Now to find him in 28-32mm for tabletop gaming.

Amen! Still breaks me to this day! I think I need a Punk Johnny model in my life now
Those are so cool. I remember seeing the little Johnny 5 toys in Short circuit 2 and wanting one as a kid
I’m not a collector, but I sure as heck would collect one of these.

I loved Worlds Of Wonder company.
Lazer Tag was my favorite from the IP
@danielland3767 Unfortunately, the heads of the company were former Atari executives, and they ran WoW the same way... right into the ground.

The ‘More Than A Woman’ dance scene still lives rent free in my head to this day 💜
The "No Disassemble" scene and the "Need Imput" ones live rent free for me.
@@dorsk84 Yes! I use those constantly at random and people look at me like I grew another ear, but I don’t care. If you know, you know🤘😂
“Wouldn’t you like to be a pepper tooo?” 🤣
"You've changed color..."
"Hey laserlips, your momma was a snowblower"😂
Norm's little excited scream is so charming

We need them all. The original Short Circut 1 through 5. Johnny Five with the toolbox (Short Circut 2) and Golden Johnny Five as well.
Two of these J5s are mine. Each J5 he makes comes with the toolbox from the second movie (as well as the red bandana).
DAMN I WANT THIS! It's crazy that it wasn't a product when the (second) movie came out. I love Short Circuit 2. Though I want the second model.
I love this so much. Those two movies were amongst my favorite as a kid, especially the second one where Ben made all the toy versions.
Number 5 is alive!
Omg they are sooo cool. Short circuit was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Such a great film
In the original Short Circuit, of the 5 original S.A.I.N.T. prototypes only Number 4 escaped being reprogrammed by his brother
What happened to #4?
@@hackman669 in this video or in the film? Lol
I always wondered why Number 4 didn't get much screen-time myself, and the deleted scenes (mostly seen in the end credits) where they fly the r/c plane, Number 5 exploring etc
there's not just 5, there's a 6th on display at NOVA's HQ
@@ViewpointProd indeed, one of the early developmental prototypes
@@MD-1982 kinda weird you'd word it like that considering 1-5 are all prototypes, kinda makes you sound like you implied 6 is much older than 1-5.
Short Circuit 1 and 2 are 2 of my favorite childhood movies!
That's so cool, the punk Johnny was the first thing I thought of. But OMG those are awesome and probably really expensive.
I’m working on the punk version right now
My friend made these!! Lol. I have the original 1/10 scale prototype as well as numbered #1 of the first batch od production run 1/10 scale. Morgan. Is a fucking wizard with his hands and you should see his incredible diorama work he does 🤌 he's so talented and I'm happy to see my homeboy getting the praise he deserves 🙌 I love tested
The magnet articulation is so cool!
Need input!!! I love the Short Circuit movies!!!
Should make Short Circuit3 🤔
Damn it, I wanted this as kid. Still do. Those toy version in Short Circuit 2 were amazing.
I own one of these and I HIGHLY recommend it!! Morgan is a great artist!
I'm so glad to see this. There are sooooo many knock off chinese scams on facebook that'll take pictures like this and "sell" it as their own. So knowing how to get to the "real deal" is a big plus.

AWWW! How did I miss this video!
Even after all these years, I still want one.
Mine was the one with the Larry head, love the work Morgan did for us. There’s an unboxing vid on my channel with close ups.
Do you do wargaming miniatures? Great work with the flocking!

@@TheMakersCave Ah, my mistake, sorry. Still, congrats on owning such an impressive piece!
These need mass production asap
Look up the guys in England, they are making big and small versions for sale
@@darrenfalconer3267 they got a site or social media? I know Titan Ross in Australia is making a bunch
I love both of the movies so much! I want them all! If only I had money...
Same here, plus i would have to import and my local import customs has already messed up a 80€ order of custom Etsy stuff i waited over half a year for.
I don't feel like going through that anxiety again.
😮 I must have one!!!
short circuit 1 and 2 cured my fear of robots this is movie is one of the forgotten gems of the 1980's
I've got one form Titan ross in the works, so excited to eventually show it to the world, thing cost me an arm and a leg
Titan is a good guy!! He helped me modify my model for led lights a few months ago.
OMG dude I always wanted one of those from the second movie. I still frickin do!
Top! I love Johnny 5!
My younger self would've gone crazy over this so is adult me lol

Johnny 5! You know the name, now own the toy!
They look fantastic. Would love to order one as well
So cool!
As a kid i watched short circuit so many times.

Sideshow collectibles should get on this and make them in die cast

Nice software, Stephanie!
Cool builds!
in johnny 5's voice, "no disassemble number 5!" lol
I always wanted a little RC Johnny 5 as a kid! Now I want a fully automated one with lidar and computer vision, so he can map his environment and recognize objects. Surely that's not too much to ask for.
I love these
Imagine a up to date movie , not a REMAKE, a third movie .
We love Johnny
Ooooohhh Siiiiideshoowwwwwww....

Curley, Mo and Larry!

I LOVE JHONNY 5
Thank you. 🤩 I have been looking for this on my own, but unfortunately, the market has been flooded with knockoffs of dubious origin. I will absolutely visit the pinned link.
Johnny 5 is alive
Ooh ooh! Now do the baby robot from Heartbeeps!
And a gold plate Jonny!
Los Locos Johnny 5
**Sees the arm being pulled off** NO DISASSEMBLE!
Amazing good to see Johnny 5 again hoping they bring him back but he might get the Velma treatment.
This and BTTF should NEVER be touched.

NO DISSASSEMBLE #5!
I always wanted one
I want a full size J5 too ride like Derf!! That would make the 8 year old me so very happy.
37 year old me, crying: "Mommy buy me that"
MFN Input Stephanie, Input...!
Ripley in the power loader.
So how do I get one and how much
Hey NECA.. wake up!
Piece of corn. Can of cake.
I would love a Johnny 5 parts work
🤖👍👍👍
I want one!!
Question is there going be a gold one? Lol
I make a gold one as well yes
Just a minor nitpick; in Short Circuit he was Number 5, he didn't get the name Johnny 5 until Short Circuit 2.
Am I the only one that's just gonna say these are models of "Number 5" not "Johnny 5". He didn't name himself Johnny until the second one, and he had replaced his laser weapon with a red toolbox by then.
This model includes the red toolbox as well so you can swap it out.
I need one. STAT!
I built a version out of Legos not an exact replica but a mini J5
I wouldn't be surprised if neca takes on this one as a project, product 😛❤️👁️🍿😕🤬
