If Yamato USA’s Sexy Robot Pink Bathing Suit Statue was was actually an award, I would hate to think what it was an award for. Excellence in the field of robot porn?
Do androids dream of electric sheep? We may never know. Fortunately, neither androids nor humans have to rely on dreams for visions of this metallic beauty as Yamato USA proudly makes the fantasy world of Hajime Sorayama a reality. The Fantasy Figure Gallery Hajime Sorayama Sexy Robot 001 in Pink Bathing Suit #1 Statue utilizes the latest in digital sculpting technology. Yamato USA’s Fantasy Figure Gallery, in collaboration with Jerry Macaluso’s Pop Culture Shock Collectibles, presents here one of master Sorayama’s famous “sexy robots”– anatomically correct female robots appearing to have been fashioned of molten silver. This resin statue stands approximately 22-inches tall and includes a specially designed base, as well as a removable pink fabric bathing suit, all packaged in a collector-style window box.
Removable bathing suit? Nice.

Based on a painting by Tara McPherson, Lilitu the demon succubus is getting her own 8-inch vinyl figure from Kid Robot. McPherson describes the character thusly:
This painting is based on the Sumerian myth of the demon Lilitu. Representing chaos, seduction and ungodliness. She is a sexually charged yet infertile succubus who behaves aggressively toward men and children killing them at her every whim, her breasts are filled with poison not milk. In her every guise, Lilitu has cast an evil spell on humankind.
The figure will be a limited edition of 200 and is listed as “coming soon” at a price of $250.

Our little plastic troops have finally come home. They’ve traded in their green fatigues for bright colors—and all they want to do is breakdance.
Straight out of the South Bronx, Kidrobot’s first series of All City Breakers celebrates the best dance style born from 70’s hip-hop culture. Individually foil-wrapped and blind, each b-boy and b-girl’s punctuated move is captured perfectly in plastic – a stylized freeze. Injection-molded and inspired by the retro but classic green army men and their solid plastic bases, these breakers flaunt moves from Power to Flex in four neon colors: pink, green orange and blue. Each 2-inch art piece is paired with boombox to deliver the beat.
All City Breakers will start shipping on September 15th for $1.95 each.
