Awesome Japanese

Coming this January: Max Factory will be releasing this sweet Scopedog unit from the Japanese anime series, Armored Trooper VOTOMS. Check out all those hands and attachments!

For the feudal warlord in all of us: this original 16th century Japanese Dragon Armor Helmet (Kabuto) is made with riveted plates of iron and is signed by the blacksmith on the back.

Robo-Garage’s Murasaki prototype robot is no slouch at storytelling; “she” actually uses an MP3 player. The ‘bot rolls on two wheels and articulates her head and arms with an eight-axis system.
