Is there a Metropolis robot "Maria" for either G3F or G8F?

Ptrope

It seems like such an obvious thing (to me, at least), so with all the robots/droids/cyborgs out there for either G3F or G8F, I'm surprised I've never seen one that is even close to C3P0, let alone one that actually looks like the robot from "Metropolis." Have I somehow missed it?

well anything copied from a movie would have to be a fan freebie on another site and even then with restrictions on usage

You should check out EdArt3D's Gynoid series at Renderosity.  There are a lot of options for both G3F and G8F and you might be able to find something suitable, although not identical to Maria.

Metropolis is so old though (1927), I had to check its copyright status.

Looking it up, the US copyright on Metropolis (while previously very contested) will actually expire at the end of 2022, as films of that era are only considered to have a 95 year copyright. (In Germany and the EU, however, copyright will last until the end of 2046, 70 years after Lang's death).

Hey, that one looks pretty close! Thanks!

Whaddya know - I already OWNED that one! Even though it's evocative of "Maria," turns out it really is a long way from her actual lines. I may need to create a morph or prop to get her mecha-Roman nose. Still, with a bit of mixing and matching from a couple other outfits, she looks plausible from 20 feet ...
