Lost in Space merchandise is a bit of a rarity these days. Robot-B-9 is typically the only member of the Jupiter 2’s crew we see when toys or models pop up. However, we stumbled upon a pair of action figures based on two characters who weren’t the Robinsons, Dr. Smith or the Robot. These two new figures from Executive Replicas are based on the sexy Athena and the dominatrix-like Amazonian Niolani.
Athena from the episodes Wild Adventure and The Girl From the Green Dimension is represented here by a 1/6th scale figure in a screen-accurate sparkly green bodysuit. Like the other figure in this line, Athena has a Phicen seamless body, meaning there are no visible joints. From what we’ve seen from previous figures with these bodies, they tend to have more realistic skin textures.
If you’re a Lost in Space purist, you may take issue with a particular anatomical feature of Athena’s. While Athena’s costume looks spot on, the face doesn’t quite look like Vitina Marcus. The head sculpt is very nice, but the eyes are just slightly the wrong shape. Also, the face is missing Vitina Marcus’s beauty mark by her nose.
Niolani, on the other hand, is most certainly a case of the writers letting their fetishes creep into the storytelling. The Amazonian is clade in a one-piece black “leather” suit and dons a spiked headdress. This may have been taboo back in the 1960s, but I see this every time I am employed as a bouncer at a BDSM club.
The artists at Executive Replicas managed to capture Francine York’s likeness pretty well and improved on her makeup from what we see in the episode The Colonists. If you cannot tell just by the character’s design, Niolani is dominant and uses men as her labor force. You know what? I’d be down for it.
Niolani and Athena are limited to only 500 pieces each worldwide. The figures cost $249.99 a piece and are officially licensed.
