What young child wouldn’t be thrill to find this charming toy under the tree on Christmas morning? The “Santa-Bearer-of-Doom-and-Destruction” or as it’s listed in the catalogue: “Father Christmas Robot,” can be ordered from Toy Post.
To be fair, this toy is listed for adult collecters only. It was made using traditional methods for tin plating, and does not meet current child safety regulations, sorry kids.
Toy post is actually a very cool UK based shop that specializes in old-fashioned and traditional toys and games. They have a fabulous selection of wooden and old tin plate and metal toys too. But this guy…he definitely tops the freaky list!
Always dreamed of having C-3P0, Bender Rodriguez, or Robby the Robot serve hors d’oeuvres at your birthday party? stand in for you in biology class? oversee the vows at your wedding? Well now you can have the next best thing…
At Florida Robotics you can rent or purchase a robot from their large collection. All their bots have the ability to walk, talk, play music or audio samples and interact with your guests, as well as having the always cool, very essential, pitch-altered voice transmitter.
Prof R. O. Bots and Jay Peg
Optional add-ons include: water squirters, video monitor/ camera, scrolling display, sound effects, holiday decorations, two-way audio, and of course fiber optic hair.
Unfortunately, you might have some difficulty getting them across the border!
