Vstone's next robot offering modeled after Gigantor

From the same folks who brought us the Robovie-M comes a new two-legged wonder modeled after the ever-lovable robot hero Gigantor. Osaka-based Vstone's second humanoid robot is manipulatable by remote control, features smooth motion in the arms and legs and reportedly walks just like a human being. Much like the Robovie-M, it won't exactly be a steal at about $3,300 — but when the shadow of evil still looms over the peaceful planet Earth, to whom else can we turn?

Gigantor was my favorite cartoon growing up! Followed closely by TOBOR The Eight Man. Man I'm old! I have to have one of these... even at a cost of $3300.

I wonder if this is an super sweet publicity stunt for the upcoming live action Gigantor movie?
