1/8 scale Plastic Model Kit Metropolis Maschinenmensch (1927) - Silver Screen Edition

Height: Approx 26 cm

Fritz Lang's 1927 phenomenon, Metropolis" returns in this intricately faithful reproduction of famed creative mind Walter Schulze-Mittendorf's Machine Man "Maria".

The "Maschinenmensch", the fictional robot from Fritz Lang's silent film Metropolis, was originally played by German actress Brigitte Helm, both as the

titular robot "gynoid" and its human form. In the movie, the robot was created by the scientist Rotwang as an approximation of his former lover, Hel.

Maschinenmensch was one of the first, and perhaps most iconic fictional robots ever depicted in cinema, and went on to be one of the primary influences of robotic design

in both feature film, television and technology. The 1:8 scale model features Maria in her/its most iconic pose, as it stands with an air of awe and deepest fascination

for Rotwang's greatest creation. This time with the parts moulded in beige silver colour reminiscent of the silver screen era. As an added detail, avid fans of the classic silent film will

appreciate the text found at the back of the throne as well as ""HEL"" embossed in the iconic Metropolis typeface; a reminder of the original form of Rotwang's obsession.
