This has to be the best thing I have seen this year. Pure class.
I hated the original “Robosapien” when it came out a few years ago, thinking it was a purely cynical effort to get some harn earned out of chavs who wanted their kids to posess the must have toy that christmas.
This however, is a cynical effort to get my hard earned because I hated the original one. It’s worked. I’ve just pre-ordered mine and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
I don’t know why, Robots are not really my thing. Sure they will be part of our every day routine in our lifetime. They will be all around us on the street, doing things we simply don’t want to do, but still I can’t be arsed with them. So what is it that made me just shell out 70 quid for what, to all intents and purposes, is a few chunks of plastic lumped together with some small servos and batteries.
In a word, marketing. Whilst I deal with that subject in some form most days, it rarely works on me, but this time it has. And I couldn’t be happier about it. Take my favourite cartoon character and allow me to buy him in a form that animates in front of me and allows me to replicate his bufoonery in the comfort of my own home.
Pure Genius. (The bastards)
Stuff is the key to our futures, embrace it, for it shall set you free.
