I also am looking for schematics and blueprints. Wanted my own j5 since i was a kid.
Hello everyone,
I am Leo from Argentina, and I am posting this comment because I want you know that I am other guy who want you re-start manufacturing the original Johnny Five toy shown on Short Circuit 2.
I have been looking for all over the internet, and found nothing. Please, let us to know if you are going to make them again and if there is possible to purchase at least on ebay.
Thanks in advance.

i am a person who likes dedicating my life in making very powerful robotic engineering. i try to make any type of robot with little parts of my robotic kits. i even try 2 program so i can try 2 make an intelligent robotic system which can do a lot of things.
Hi please can you make the Johnny 5 original size the gold one and the little one’s and put them in catalogue shops in the uk. i would love to show it off to everyone in my family
Johnny 5 is indeed an awesome robot. Maybe somebody from the community would like to build one ans show it off.
Please, Need Johnny 5 robot badly! Even after this site was started What 3 years ago and still, there’s interest.
I try to find RC Johnny 5 original height for years.
I will buy one if available.
Go Johnny Go to fans.
pleeeese do the progect!!!
I think that this is great I’ve alwayas wanted my whole life to have one of the short circuit robots. The really big ones like in the two movies would be great and they would sell like crazy.
I would love to see one on the market. Maybe Todd Mcfarlane can help produce the toys. He has done great work with reproductions.
A J5 Toy would sell like crazy!
Please reassemble, Stephanie, Reassemble!
I watch the movie johnny 5 back in 1989 I wass 13 at that time and still today it still one of the best movies to me it is still on first place.
I let my 11 year old boy and my 3 year old girl watch the movie and they like it so mutch that they don’t stop from asking me when i can get them the toy I allway wanted the toy that was at the movie set i did not had the chance to get it.
I hope that I can get just one so that I can give it to my kids to share.
Please make my wish come true.
please make the johnny 5 toy again!
I am really interested in the Nova robots and would like to build one! I just wish I could get more information about them. And as Sean said what ever happened to those robots?!!? They couldn’t have just scrapped them!
I just showed my 4 year old this movie for the first time last week! He has watched it at least once everyday since. The first time he watched Short Circuit 2 he actually cried when he thought Johnny 5 was going to die. Please make a Johnny 5 toy! It would really make my son the happiest boy in the world! He just loves Johnny 5!!!
i already put a post on here but im adding that if the mini replica on the movie cost $40, ill pay $50 for one already put together! but if that isnt possibble, send me directions for both of them but also if possibble have it so that they can move without comand or any remote controll. please please please?its my favorite movie!!!
please put them on sale. i would buy one! my dad was born in the 80s and showed it to me and is now my favorite movie!
hi, i’m a sophomore in high school and i absolutely love johnny five from the movie short circuit. for my senior project, i would like to make a replica of him. please send me instructions to my e-mail so that way i can graduate and keep and brag to my friends about having a johnny five robot of my own. thanks!
Hi, my name is amy and i have a 7 yr. old nephew who just absolutely loves jhonny five from short circuit we have searched everywhere to find him a replica of the robot but were unable, i then found this website on how to build ur own jhonny five , i do not know how to even begin to build one, but with the right instructions and tools im sure i could atleast give it my best shot, if u would so kindly send me the instructions to my e-mail i would greatly appreciate it and so would my nephew he loves to build things i think this would be quite the project for him.thank you so kindly
Amy Russo.Hello who ever may be reading these posts,
I’ve been putting in posts for years on the subject of getting hold of Johnny 5 blueprints. The movies were sensational when I was a kid and still are today.
I became a Mechatronis Engineer largely because Johnny 5 kept me going. No matter how much the University tried to convince us all that Electronics and Mechanics were actually rather boring, Johnny 5 was one of the things that kept me going, not letting them convince me of this judgment. Electronic and Mechanical engineering are exciting fields don’t ever let anyone tell you other wise.
I would certainly love even the dimensions and outlays of the puppet as Johnny 5 is simply a fantastic robot if it were brought to life. 2 arms with tri-finger manipulators, built in tool system, dual tri tank tracks for mobility. Put in sonic and radar tracking, 2 camera systems. Even with a basic neural network and some user accesible remote controlled features it would be fantastic.
Johnny 5 also gives you an appreciation for robotics. I mean let’s face it anyone who builds robots as a hobby will instantly see $$$ signs flashing with the gear that would go into one of these robots. What I find exciting today is that the entire setup would be totally doable(even for creating a 3 stooges automated setup like Johnny 5 did). I’d probably put in a high intensity laser pointer instead of an actual high intensity impact laser though (wouldn’t want Johnny 5 replica’s having a bad name).
Just take a look at the NXT leggo robot, it’s got so much Johnny 5 in there I’m surprised a law suit wasn’t filed and don’t even talk to me about Wallie. Yeah I confess I loved the show but there was no way he was out cooling Johnny 5 and everyone knows he’s a direct rip off of the real robot. What trumps Wallie is that Johnny was a real life puppet, not an animation and that makes him 1000 times more spectacular. In fact. WHEN IS THE NEW JOHNNY 5 MOVIE COMMING OUT?? I would even just love to see him working on the farm were he retired to or did he??? (a gold plated robot with a US citizenship is pretty hard to miss, were on Earth did he go??).
To conclude, YES PLEASE DO release Johnny 5 replica’s in some form, I’m certain that Johnny would be flattered.
Here’s to keeping Number 5 ‘ALIVE!!!’.
