I think it's about time to give the movie the right credits and make the whole robot family including Wheems, that little cutey as Ultra Deluxe Kit. They really deserve it.

So i found out that Batteries Not Included was actually called "Miracle on 8th Street" in other various countries. A production kit of Wheems was actually created by a japanese manufacturer. Needless to say they are extremely rare and nearly immposible to find...

 

[Kylash]

any pics of this kit out there?

 

[Soundwave]

LOVE IT.

 

[Edward H]

Just purchased the kit on ebay. It has all five of the ships, apparently they are extremely tiny. When i recieve it ill post more pics.

 

[Kylash]

awsome. cant wait to see

 

[Soundwave]

Cute, my sister would love this...she loves these little guys. Great job.

 

[Edward H]

Here are the contents of the kit i purchased on ebay. Not to much to it, but still kinda cool. I have them almost completed... ill post some pics when done.

 

[Kylash]

wow yeah those are quite small..is wheems that round one there? he should be more oval... anyway Doc, i found an extra small wheems foot i can send to you

 

[Edward H]

Yeah, they are definetly far from accurate... alot of the proportions are off... I agree wheems should be more oval... When i scratchbuild the 1:1 scale bots i will go for accuracy, but these ones are too tiny to worry about fixing any imperfections. They do look [retty cool all painted up though... I would love to see the wheems foot kylash... thanks.

 

[Kylash]

FINALLY got a new camera, and this little guy was the first I took new pictures of, enjoy.

 

[Edward H]

So cool man... i love the higher res pictures. I hope i can find one of these kits one day... Im getting the feeling like i may start a scratchbuild soon.

In case anyone is interested in seeing what the Japanese kit of these little guys looks like built up, here are some pics. Originally I hadnt decided on making a diorama, but after seeing how small these were, i figured they needed something to tie them together. Since all of the small models were different scales I decided to combine 3 seperate scenes from the movie into one.

That dio is truly awesome, very very nice work it really ties all those models together in such a clever way, what size is the completed dio?
