   A model kit was made of Robbie.  They produced a second version to replicate   
   the movie poster, with Robbie's legs dramatically spread in a way the actor   
   would have probably found hazardous, and a few alterations as the physical   
   model could not hold a    
   three-dimensional Altera in the way the 2-D artist had painted.  I've wondered   
   about building a representation of the "Invisible Boy" poster, with its even   
   more dramatic stance.
