Cool looking robot for sale in Japan, only about 3000 dollars. Even the name is hip, sounding like something out of Futurama, Gigantor.

Japanese robot maker Vstone Corporation has just released its latest consumer product: Gigantor (aka Tetsu-jin 28 or Ironman 28, as it’s known in Tokyo). Based on the Japanese manga and classic anime series, the remote-controled robot—which is 15 inches high and weighs 5.5 pounds—comes as a kit you have to build yourself. If you construct it correctly, its arms and legs should move smoothly and it will walk around like a human being. But no, it doesn’t fly. The price is in the ballpark of $3 thousand dollars. For specs (in Japanese), to order one, or just to look at the box art, go here. — Cartoon Brew
