Bob May: The Man Behind the Machine For generations of Lost in Space fans, the Robot was an unforgettable presence—waving its mechanical arms, warning of danger, and adding humor to the series. But while the voice of the Robot came from Dick Tufeld, the man physically inside the iconic suit was Bob May, an actor and stuntman whose career spanned decades in Hollywood. Born in 1939, May was a Hollywood legacy—his grandfather was a Vaudeville performer, and his family had deep roots in show business. Though his most famous role…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1994 G.I. Joe Manta Ray. This year was slim picking for GI Joe vehicles. Although the Manta Ray is not a vehicle many people are after it is a neat little vehicle with a few gimmicks that may have been fun back in the day. This does inflate much like the inner tubes at the Lazy River, so this would have been fun in the pool or even at bath time I suppose. Underneath there is a rubber band…
