Hakorobo - Tiny Bot Loves, Hates, Runs Around
TokyoMango.com has a quick little writeup on Sega Toys’ new HakoRobo. HakoRobo is a tiny cube shaped robot that comes paired with “family-figure” type cubes, that it can sense and react to. So, for instance, little “Boy” HakoRobo always runs toward the “Mama” cube, and runs away from the angry looking “Papa” cube. With additional Hakorobos, you can recreate the entire maze of modern family relationships. There’s a high-bandwidth teaser movie on the Hakorobo main site showing the little bots in action. Anyone know of a US distributor for these great toys?

I’ve not found a US distrubtor, but I have found a Japanese distributor who will not only ship to the US, but is on eBay. Do a search for ‘hakorobo’ and their storefront ought to come up. You will, of course, end up paying much more for them than they sell for in Japan. Regardless, my husband bought me 3 sets for the holidays. They haven’t gotten here yet, but I’m looking forward to it. Sorry for commenting on such an old post, but I know I looked for these forever!
