In the whatever next category: Sega Toys have come out with an hour-glass figured female version of R2-D2. Yes, leave it to the Japanese to devolp the busty 15.5" tall humanoid love-bot. The curvaceaous robot swings it's hips like a woman, talks like a woman and even blows kisses. It apparently also has more than 60 other pre-programmed moves, including smooching, if the robot kicks into "love mode." EMA, pronounced Emma, stands for Eternal, Maiden Actualization. Sounds painful.
The love-bot is directed primarily at young single, no doubt lonely males, or more commonly known here in the US as losers, but am sure there is a market for lonely hearts looking for some mechanical affection.
Sega plans to sell the she-bot for $175 and hopes to sell 10,000 of the adult androids within a year. No word yet on whether there are any plans to take the lovable robot a step further, or if there is a 'happy ending' function on the horizon.
Proof, if any was needed, that reality is indeed stranger than fiction.
