Bought this new in 1998 at Target along with the B9 robot. Still have both of them today. Yes they are not perfect , but they take you back to the 60's when Irwin Allen produce Lost in Space to a generation of wide eyed kids who loved sci-fi shows.
100% mate. Thats what its all about. These were just the toys, so you're right, not perfect but lots of nostalgia and fun fornus fans 👍❤ thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply
As a kid, I would have LOVED this. As an adult, I find it hard to overlook all the inaccuracies. I'm not expecting a museum quality model, but why couldn't they have put all the freezing tubes together? Why does the area where the pod goes, continue all the way to the center of the ship even though the pod doesn't occupy it all? Why no elevator and ladder? I mean these are small details that would have made it more accurate without impacting any of the features that they included.
Thanks for watching. Im guessing as its a toy they have thought of a couple of play features for kids to play with so it can remain affordable for parents. The collector inside us want more for sure. It would be amazing to find a "collectors" edition where its more accurate 😊👍🙏
What I really liked about all of Irwin Allen.and Gerry Andersons science fiction series is the OPTIMISM they brought that the future will be better for everybody .
That's awesome..yeah I'm with you in watching this show, Space 1999, Thunderbirds and the Star Trek cartoon on Saturday mornings..never saw this vehicle although I did see the 97 LIS movie..um yeah it was alright I guess the new TV show is pretty good though..nice to see that the sound and light still working..you must have taken the batteries out when you stored it..cheers mate🍺🍺🍻
Thanks Si, i guess we can be thankful that the 97 LIS film produced some new interest for the franchise and got this classic ship made as a toy 😁 Have to agree, the new Netflix show isnt too bad. I think we're halfway thru the 3rd and final season 👍😊
I'm in Canada and LiS is shown on a local 'classic' channel each weeknight (midnight Pacific time). The episodes play in sequence and I never miss them. Yes, I believe they did make a full-size mock up of the ship, but it was only properly utilized for a couple of the episodes. I have a remote control Robot toy, which I bought in '98, which was released by Toy Island MFG, I believe.
One of the BEST flea market finds of my life: Found this ship (not working of course, no box ) but in good shape with the ROBOT still inside (POD, Will & Smith were missing). $1.00 !
Awesome! You've inspired me to watch a few episodes today. 🤖👽 Trendmasters doesn't get enough credit for making great toys...Godzilla, Galactica, John Carter, Mars Attacks, so much great stuff. Too bad they didn't last longer (the big iguana had no small part in their downfall). Great review!
I have a couple of Trendmasters 1998 Godzilla figures, including the 2 foot long one. That one the tail connector collar broke and I had to hot glue the tall in place. Still looks good though. Got it and the other 1998 stuff at Big Lots. The 2 footer was 14 dollars. I also got the bank and a couple of other figures.
Wow, fantastic toy. I agree it's a missed opportunity to have the hatch open up to a boarding ramp. I do love that the top can be removed and you can play in the interior. Cool pod and I love the Minifigures. That set is amazing. Super fun video. #keepitcasual #fullwatch #growtogether
What an awesome vehicle Andrew such a good review of the lost in space juniper 2 ship i remeber growing up watching re runs of lost in space of space 1999 in the 90”s on tv a great show and great toy Thankyou for sharing 😎👍🏻
Jupiter Two is so awesome Andrew 😎 love it ❤️ always looking to find one to add to my collection at a reasonable price 🤔 great video 👏😁 It was great meeting you guys 👍
I remember hunting about to find out what happened to the mock up Jupiter 2. I believe some parts were taken off it for other uses in TV shows, one of the landing gear legs was used somewhere but the rest decayed on a back lot somewhere as far as I could find out. It wasn't full size but big enough to give the impression, also it had no interior as such.
Not familiar at all with this ship Andy so was really Interesting to watch, I just about recall the show but never watched it. Very cool looking vehicle though, enjoyed it as always mate 👍
Thanks Deano. I think if you ever want to watch a season of LIS, just watch the first season. There is the odd good episode in season 2 and 3. But this toy rocks 😊 i was so happy to buy it back in 98 from Toys r Us 😆
Thank you so much Luke. Glad u enjoyed. The original show wasnt for everyone for sure, and depends how often they showed it on TV in the UK. In Oz it was always on TV 😆
I have a Jupiter 2 model that I found in an antique shop. That one does have 2 levels, many of the internal features were laying loose inside, so I attempted to reconstruct it using a combination of photos and blueprints from the LIS book I have. I didn't glue them into place at this point because I'm not 100%convinced that I have it right.
good video ,i have this ,also the large figures & robot b-9 .got them at target back in the day. . when i was a kid i always wanted the spaceship .its a shame they never put out the rest of the figures in either size ,the cyclops fits well with these smaller figures & the 9inch since he appeared on the show in both sizes .thanx for shareing
Thanks for watching. I think i got at Toys R Us. It was a shame they didnt do figures. Would've been great to have the whole crew 🤩 RIP Mark Goddard who passed the other day too 😞
Huge missed opportunity to maximise their profits. They should have produced two more accurate collectibles. One of the single level Gemini 12 with Chariot. And of course the upsized one with the two decks and the Space Pod. A ramp with the mandatory Force Field Generators, terrain scanner and hydroponic garden would have been some very nice additions. Throw in some laser guns and the laser cannon while you are at it. For me The Liberator from Blake's 7 and the Gemini 12 / Jupiter II are the most aesthetically pleasing space craft ever devised. Always an immense pleasure to see them on the screen. Cheers from the Land Down Under.
That Liberator was one of my favs too. I think a collectible version should've been made too 👌 This is just a toy which is trying to be playable and remain affordable 😁 thanks for watching mate, some good points 🙏👍
The box is long, long gone, but my Jupiter 2 is sitting on my shelf as I type this. There's no other spaceship like it, not even the NCC-1701. One landing strut doesn't like to hold for long so the ship lilts a little in its direction after a while, but it was actually like that when I first got it 22 years ago. I just wish they had made an accompanying Space Chariot.
Good 'ol Irwin Allen, the J2 has a semi-tardis interior. That lower level is just as big as it needs to be, whenever it needs to. With the quarters, the pod, the chariot and the propulsion unit. I'll bet the Seaview could have been as big as Red Dwarf inside if he needed it to be.
Got one of these off E-Bay for $40 a few years back. Had never been opened. Makes a nice display piece but why Trendmasters went with the inaccurate playset interior is beyond me. Young kids don't know or care what the Jupiter 2 is. But if your a fan the piece is a must have.
Hi Chris, ultimately these were made for collectors and fans and it wouldve been better with a more accurate interior. And you're right, what a display piece this makes 🤩 thanks for watching mate 👍
I also wondered about that full-scale mock-up. I also wondered if it had an actual interior. Again, I don't expect that it had a camera ready set inside, but I wonder if the actors could actually go up inside it, walk to the front and look out the windows. To be honest, I don't remember the details of the episode well enough to recall if you could ever see the actors inside it through the windows.
The space pod came out the side?!? It originallyit cane from the bottom of the ship. The ship isn't the jupiter 2, but the gemini ? Used in the pilot, to me.With the bottom windows open- it should be able to be shut
With the door and the ramp? You're asking a lot dude. I get what you mean but for sheets sake its a model, not a functioning ship... mate. Also, for anyone interested the B9 robot is the "stunt" robot. The one with the fiberglass legs and not the rubber legs ogs of the up close B( that was manned ny Bob Mays; Just an FYI
No harm in wishing tho 😄However, you're right, its a toy! Ultimately its for kids to play with, and it is stacked with playability. So we're happy! Interesting tidbit on the B9. Thanks 🙏😊👍
@@keeponcollecting Not to mention they had to make a profit selling these toys. I got two (1st and 2nd releases - red led vs yellow) Do you happen to know what the retail price was on these back then? I forget. Not too expensive if I recall.

@Jup2com if I recall, I picked up at Toys R Us for $35 AUD, which is cheap. Did not realise there was a 1st and 2nd release 😳 Will have to check out the lights 🤔 LOL the switch & go doesn't sound great, however, it's always good to know these things, so will probably go find out bout it 😉 Thanks for checking out the vid and the interesting comments too 😀 👍
I have the Trendmasters 2 foot tall robot from Lost in Space. It's in the shipping box, inside is the store display box. I've never had batteries in it.
@@gerrymichaud3851 Space is always a collectors challenge. Same here! Things in boxes for years. Im thinking of doing some rotation of toys. Just so some toys can be displayed 😁🤷♂️ Maybe that would work? 🤔
@@keeponcollecting Most of my space is Godzilla movies and figures and couple of Robby the Robots. I got the B9 22 years ago. I remember when the series was running I was about 11 years old. We lived in Auburn Maine and dad worked at King's Department Store, it was across the street from our house. I was over there waiting on dad and I saw the original Remco B9 that was released
It's not proportion. It should be big enough to show them having their own bedrooms. That was shown on the show. From the sledgemaster 3 times making professional powerlifting history in 2022.
@@AdamAdam-fo5ee it does interest me on why you would even waste a second of your life watching this video then if you have that attitude. Its just a hobby. Most of us have hobbies and spend money on them. So you spend money your way, we will spend money our way! thanks for watching though mate 😀👍
