Everybody loves robots. Who can resist those cute mechanical things that have the potential to take over the world? The newest to be delivered by the mechanical stork/assembly line is Takara Tomy's i-SOBOT.

The company brags that the i-SOBOT is the "smallest robot in the world". At 6.6 inches, they could be right. The LCD remote allows you to make the i-SOBOT play music, dance, and lots of other commands. (I'm sure someone is going to program it to do the robot, but that seems rather trite.)

There are even plans to put a camera in this i-SOBOT's head. That model will run you about $344 USD, while the regular will be about $258. That is one expensive toy.
