Hello Kitty Robot pre-orders start for 50% more moolah

Remember that Hello Kitty Robot we wrote about back in 2004? Of course, you do, you Hello Kitty obsessed soul you! Well, it looks like the makers are finally getting ready to sell the thing, for 50% more money than they were originally asking. If you want to pick up one of these interactive cuties, it'll set you back $6,300: then again, you do get stereo cameras, voice recognition, ultrasonic and "lift-up" sensors as part of the deal. Money can't buy you love, but apparently it can buy you a whole lot of simulated affection.

For $6K i would expect this thing to walk or at least roll around on some wheels

[strider_mt2k @ Jul 22nd 2007 7:42PM]

Nuke 'em from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

They mostly come out at night...mostly...

Indeed Brother, these foul Xenos must be purgeg!

For that much money it better subliminally convince my daughter to stay celebate till she marries a successful man... when she's 30.

@Strider
Is that a Clerks Animated reference? Man, I hope so.

If you want one of these, you should probably go kill yourself.

[Mike @ Jul 22nd 2007 9:46PM]

haha i said the same thing about the iPhone
(Come on, you didnt honestly think there would be an engadget article without mention of the phone did ya?)

[Tiffany @ Jul 22nd 2007 10:25PM]

I'm speechless...

[emjoi @ Jul 22nd 2007 11:14PM]

For that kind of money, it need to have Realdoll functionality.

[Jay @ Jul 22nd 2007 11:49PM]

Hello Kitty is tired. It so retro now.

[Bee Hatch @ Jul 22nd 2007 11:50PM]

Anybody buying this has no idea how much vagina can be bought for $6300. Oblivious, if you will.

[Tony Rayo @ Jul 23rd 2007 12:34AM]

Would the STDs be free too or come as a priced bundle-package? Just because you brought it up, I figure you've had plenty of experience ;). Don't put Hello Kitty and sexual organs in the same part of my brain!

[Nick @ Jul 23rd 2007 9:46AM]

Will it blend?

That is the question...

[strider_mt2k @ Jul 23rd 2007 5:22PM]

Kitty smoke...

Don't breathe this!

[Bee Hatch @ Jul 27th 2007 10:20PM]

STDs are nothing to be afraid of, just government bullshit. You're obviously not aware that Hello Kitty once made a vibrator. I shit you not.

[Tony Rayo @ Jul 28th 2007 3:58AM]

I believe it was advertised as a "back massager", also it wasn't a licensed product... still funny though =).

"Money can't buy you love, but apparently it can buy you a whole lot of simulated affection."

You mean, a whole lot of it can by you simulated affection.
