Best DVDBluRay Classic Film Release | 2018
The original Tobor prop and remote control device is still in existence, having been stored away safely in a private collection for more than 50 years.
The film inspired a Tobor the Great comic book story series, written by Denis Gifford and with artwork by James Bleach; it appeared in Star Comics #1-2 (1954), from D Publications.
Contrary to popular belief, the robot was not designed by Robert Kinoshita, creator of Robby the Robot. According to both production sketches and "movie robot" authority Fred Barton, Tobor was designed by Gabriel Scognamillo and built by Mel Arnold, who also worked on Gort for The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Tobor's design was the brainchild of Robert Kinoshita, the television and film effects man and prop designer. The designer would go on to design Robby the Robot for the classic 1956 film Forbidden Planet, as well as the B-9 Environmental Control Robot for the mid-1960s hit sci-fi television series Lost In Space.
Tobor the Great was released on DVD on May 13, 2008 by Lionsgate Home Entertainment. The standard DVD, containing the film only, had an incorrect open matte transfer; it was originally shot for theatrical exhibition using the 1.66:1 widescreen aspect ratio. In December 2016, the film was announced for both DVD and Blu-ray reissue by Kino Lorber.
"Brian 'Gadge' Robertson: Gee, Tobor, you're wonderful!"
"Prof. Arnold Nordstrom: This is my daughter, Mrs Roberts, who runs this household with an iron rod. Janice Roberts: [Later after her son has loosed Tobor] It's Gadge! I bet he's doing it .. he's bad. Very bad!"
