3D model history
On the desolate, gothic expanse of the USS Cygnus, courage wasn't found in strength, but in rust. Battered and world-weary, Old B.O.B. was a relic left to bear witness to the madness of Dr. Reinhardt and his sinister enforcer, Maximilian. Despite his frail exterior, this humble robot proved to be the soul of the movie, revealing the grim truth to the crew of the USS Palomino and forming an unbreakable bond with his fellow unit, V.I.N.CENT. In a sci-fi universe filled with gleaming technology and dark ambition, Old B.O.B. stood as a reminder that true heroism is forged in courage, not perfection.
This Old B.O.B. 3D print model brings that legend to life in stunning detail. Every dent and weathered scratch on its spherical chassis tells a story, while the retractable head and articulated arms with an extendable probe capture his utilitarian charm. The top and central sections are even designed for optional LED lighting that will make this retro sci-fi robot glow, illuminating his inner moral core just like in The Black Hole film.
