Hammacher Schlemmer has the exclusive drop on this 7-foot tall replica of Robby the Robot, made by the man commissioned to restore the original robot after it was sold to a Southern California prop museum. There are a few things wrong with this amazing re-creation though: for starters it won't actually walk, it can't be worn as a costume, oh and it will set you back 50Gs. If those three things aren't a deterrent for you, then click below to see the very best Christmas present ever.
