This Sol Machine Man sofubi is an effort to bring to life a classic image from 1930s pulp sci-fi author, Neil Jones, best known for his Professor Jameson series published in Amazing Stories and other outlets.
In Jones’ story, Professor Jameson is the last human and has his brain placed inside a robotic body by a cyborg-based civilization. The figure is a reproduction of the cover for the last Professor Jameson story to appear in Amazing Stories in April 1938.
