Autographed Tom Servo Replica
Created and donated by Darian Glover
Forget about Echo, Siri, and that Roomba that’s gathering dust. Now you can have your own personal robot. Er, puppet. This fully functioning replica Tom Servo has been autographed by the cast of Cinematic Titanic: Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff, and Mary Jo Pehl. It is so exact and well-made that Mary Jo was stunned to see Tom in the flesh (or in the plastic?) and Joel attempted to goad J. Elvis into operating Tom. Tom’s mouth, head, and arms are fully operable to a level of authenticity that allows you to experience the “fun” of his operators and ‘bot wranglers (see Poopie! tapes). Simply repeat to yourself “It’s just a show, I should just really relax.” Bid high to keep this advanced sarcasm sequencing technology from falling into the wrongs hands.
Tom Servo is a special snowflake, a complicated being, and as such involves a lot of parts. Materials include: replica cast resin Money Lover Barrel Bank, toy engine block, and ventriloquist’s dummy hands. Vacuformed Eveready lantern bezels and Tyco Turbo Trains. Replica hoverskirt (bowl) with foam trim (spare unpainted trim included, not pictured). Genuine Carousel Executive Snack Dispenser and C’More Bunz arms with air bladder. PVC pipe and other special parts formerly used to control a private screening room’s projection booth.
Tom measures approximately 12.5″ diameter by 23″ tall (31.75 cm diameter by 58.4 cm).
About the artist:
Tom’s maker, Darian, comes from a long line of craftsmen, but makes his living as a contractor cobbling together e-mails, meetings, and occasionally strings of code to make information technology work for the U.S. Federal Government in Washington, DC. On occasion he will take on a personal project to stretch his creative muscle.
