What’s that, you say? Actroid-chan is now available for rental? Well, then. *big grin*

I think it goes without saying that I have dibs on her first..

    My Italian is a bit rusty, so I wasn’t able to read the page. Is this a doll/mannequin or a robot?

    Wow, those redirecting URLs are killing me. It sends you to the main page, even if you paste the URL I’d provided. Egad..

    Anyway, Actroid DER (don’t know what the acronym stands for, don’t ask me) is the latest version of the Actroid series by Kokoro co. Ltd. She’s a Gynoid that can be rented out for presentation purposes. ‘It participates with fluent narration as a chairmanship part and a companion,’ sez Babelfish. There’s a couple of versions that are currently working the information kiosks at Japan’s World Expo 2005 at this very moment.
    Despite Actroid DER’s dodgy fashion sense, she’s still a cutie. 🙂

    So, basically a portable Hall Of The Presidents thingy, only more sexually appealing than Abe Lincoln? (Unless, of course, you’re into craggy old men)
