He came from the future. He stayed for the tan.
A direct-to-video comedy about a chrome robot from the future who just wanted to win a surf contest.
The story · 1988
Beach Party Robot lived on the bottom shelf of the comedy aisle with a cover so shiny it reflected your face. The robot, Unit Z-9, wore board shorts over his metal legs and rusted every time he wiped out. It was the top sleepover pick for years, mostly because the box promised a twelve-minute dance-off.
The robot suit got so hot under the beach sun that the actor inside sipped lemonade through a tube.
Six finishes
Beach Party Robot comes in six finishes: 100 Base, 50 Holo, 25 Laser and 10 Gold copies, plus one Super Laser and one Misprint that exist exactly once. Every copy is minted to the wallet that rips it, with its own serial number.
