1/8 X-Plus Models Maria from Metropolis Silver Edition 200138

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 ⅛ 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 molded in beige silver color reminiscent of the silver screen era.
