A light-up animatronic Weebo (Jodi Benson)from Les Mayfield's sci-fi comedy remake Flubber. Professor Phillip Brainard (Robin Williams), an eccentric scientist, worked on experiments with the aid of his hovering robotic assistant and close friend, Weebo.

This animatronic puppet features a distinctive yellow plastic shell, an illuminating retractable blue light "eye", two illuminating red and green light "eyes", an additional light on the lower front, four green circuit boards affixed to the side, a black ribbed rubber pipe with three metallic hover thrusters, mechanized wing-flaps, and a top flap where a video screen was digitally added in post-production. The complex and sophisticated animatronic puppet retains its original mechanisms, and a modern controller has been added to allow some of the functions to cycle, including movement of the screen, flaps, thrusters, and lens.

Weebo is in good overall condition with both intentional weathering from production and other signs of wear from use and age, including paint scraps, glue residue, and some rust. Dimensions: 13" x 13" x 13" (33.5 cm x 33.5 cm x 33.5 cm)
