Chuba 01

Published by Mark on January 22nd, 2009

Gorgeous model robot from an alternate 1957. Sadly only available in Japan though! The model kits are available at Harajuku’s TOKYO CULTUART gallery for 28.000 Yen (about £230 currently).

Is it supposed to have that phallic chair section?

You mean the seat and controls? Yes, the concept which I didn’t fully explain is that its from an alternate 1957 where robots are the main form of transport for humans, so that’s where the meatsac goes.
