Expensive stuff
3 years after Vstone first released the Tetsujin 28 robot for sale to the public, they’ve now announced that they are planning to sell a robot of Black Ox too. It’s apparently a lot more advanced than their tetsujin 28 robot and can move a lot more fluidly. (and is controlled by a PS3 controller)
The release date and price have not been announced, but the original Tetsujin 28 robot cost 350,000 yen (3,450 USD) and cost an additional 80,000 yen (790 USD) for them to assemble the parts for you, and they expect the Black Ox robot to sell for a similar price.
A figure of Astro boy made out of pure gold is going on sale for 1,000,000 yen (9,800 USD) too. It’s about 65mm in height and weighs 80 grams.
