Remembering Mark Goddard: A Tribute to a Beloved Actor

In the world of entertainment, we often form deep connections with the actors and actresses who grace our screens. Their performances become a part of our lives, and their passing leaves a profound void. Today, we pay tribute to one such remarkable actor, Mark Goddard, who bid us farewell this week, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to shine brightly in the annals of television and film history.

Mark Goddard, best known for his role as Major Don West in the iconic 1960s series “Lost in Space,” was more than just a talented actor. He was a beloved figure in the hearts of fans worldwide, and his passing has left a profound sense of loss in the entertainment community. From westerns to police shows to, yes, space, he always entertained and made every show he was in that much better.

Goddard’s portrayal of Major Don West in “Lost in Space” was a defining moment in his career. His charisma, charm, and impeccable acting skills brought the character to life in a way that captivated audiences and made him an integral part of the show’s enduring appeal. The series, which followed the adventures of the Robinson family in outer space, has left an indelible mark on popular culture, and Mark Goddard’s contribution to it is immeasurable.

Mark Goddard’s passing is a poignant reminder of the enduring impact that talented actors have on our lives. His work on screen will continue to inspire and entertain us, and his memory will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans during this time of loss. Farewell, Mark Goddard – your talent and warmth will never be forgotten.

B-9 Robot Tin Windup Toys Available For Pre-Order

I just happened upon some new Lost In Space products due to be released in April of 2018. They are tin windup toys of the B-9 Robot. I believe these may reproductions of earlier toys. The B-9 tin windup toys come in both a silver and a blue version. The B-9 Robot Tin Windup Toy features a sparking feature in the chest and lower dome and a strong walking mechanism. Robot stands 9-inches tall and features translucent blue top dome and metal antennas. Excellent craftsmanship and detailing in all aspects of this robot, including tin radar dish inside his dome, plus his arms are expandable and bendable and give this robot great character and expression! Wonderful classic artwork of robot walking through galactic space storm on his planet created by Justin Volpe.

This is a must have for any Lost In Space fan. It’s jam packed with extras like The Epilogue (Bill Mumy’s script to give the show a proper ending), episode commentary, home movies, and more. Not to mention, the amazing crystal clarity of the HD transfers. If you love the show or know someone who does, this is the ultimate gift, which is why it tops my Lost In Space Gift Guide.

This book was written and compiled by Bill Mumy and Angela Cartwright. It features rare and behind the scenes photos and stories about their life on the show and their beloved cast mates. Not every LIS fan has the opportunity to meet the cast and this is quite possibly the next best thing!
	Lost In Space: The Lost Adventures Vol. 1. Along with the first two items on the list, I own this (and all the comics issues) as well. It’s a hardback version of the new comics, graphic novel style. It includes extras as well, as you can read in my review.
	Diamond Select B-9 Electronic Sounds/Golden Boy/Anti-Matter Electronic Sounds Robot. I’ve listed this as one item, but it’s really 3. Diamond Select has put out three variations of our beloved B-9 Robot. One is the original with several of his famous phrases. There’s “Golden Boy” from the “Cave of the Wizards” episode. And one is the Anti-Matter Robot from “The Anti-Matter Man”. Golden Boy and Anti-Matter Robot both feature phrases from their respective episodes.
	John Robinson Action Figure With Jet Pack. This is one of the most realistic looking Lost In Space action figures ever made. It looks just like Guy Williams. He’s wearing a first season uniform with parka and comes with a Jet Pack, laser pistol, and other accessories.
	Verda Action Figure. Everyone’s favorite female android is back. Well, B-9 might not be all that fond of her. She took his pointer, after all. This incredible likeness of Verda, played by Dee Hartford, comes with a human head and hands as well as several other accessories.
	The Derelict Model.This model of the Derelict comes with not just one, but three, Jupiter 2. The model can be built with bay doors open or closed. Judge Iko and his bubble creature buddies not included.
	Irwin Allen’s Lost In Space: The Authorized Biography of a Classic Sci-Fi Series, Volume One by Marc Cushman. This book is a comprehensive look at the first season episodes, behind the scenes with tons of trivia, interviews from cast and crew, and more. For avid fans that love Lost In Space trivia, this is a must have!
	Three Years Lost In Space by Mark Goddard. Behind the scenes stories and thoughts on the episodes from Major West himself. Oh, and Mark Goddard weighs in too. 🙂 This is a fun read, especially the fictional thoughts from Major West about the events in each episode.
	Robot Vinimate. Rounding out our top ten in the Lost In Space Gift Guide is another Robot. What can I say, he’s popular. The Robot Vinimate is a little vinyl figure of our beloved B-9, perfect for displaying on a desk, mantle, or anywhere.
