1/2 Ptimo: Pla Robi

This is an injection-plastic figure kit. This plastic kit will enable you to have your very own Pla Robi! Pla Robi was designed by Takahashi Tomotaka (who also supervised the design of this kit), and was originally released by D’Agostini in multiple parts with a weekly magazine; purchasers had to asssemble the robot themselves (including the electronics), and the result was a cute little companion who was capable of understanding up to 200 words, dancing and singing. This version of Pla-Robi is about half the size of that one, standing about 17cm tall when completed, and it’s a snap-fit kit, so glue isn’t necessary; in addtion, he’s molded in color so painting isn’t necessary either. No electronics are provided so he won’t be able to dance and sing for you, but he’s cute and charming nonetheless!
