So it seems. Good to know. Anybody know if there'll be some kind of live stream or something?

hi all

Some thoughts are bumping around in my head. Wicked Productions the folks that brought us 2040 have teamed up with Realdoll to produce licensed
Realdolls of some porn actresses http://www.dollforum.com/modules.php?na ... 709#308194 has a discussion and pics of two of the dolls Jessica Drake and Electra Blue both of them were apparently in the film 2040.

http://coverdoll.com/drupal/?q=node/792 has the same pic and a vid of the dolls by the creator of Realdoll.

I know I am stepping out on a limb here with my correlation, as all of this seems very hush hush. But could they be related in some way to true companions?

That's it? Seems all my excitement was in vain.

In a related note, there's a sort of joint-like hole where her neck should be, which is fairly common in some Disney animatronic. I assume her head can move, for some reason.

Yeah,

The doll looks like a generic porn actress. News for some people: porn actresses aren't chosen 'cause they have the look men crave for a sex partner. Porn actresses are chosen 'cause they are willing to make porn movies. Future doll makers, please look to the Hollywood (non-porn) stars for your future dolls.

Still, the question of realcompanion isn't appearance but functions. For the right price, it seems there are superlative looking dolls and realCompanion could always be reskinned or have a new model created.

She was billed as a robot. What does she do?

according to posts about AVI "It" is to be fired up on Sat. Wonder what 8 track they might use ...something from the Be Gees is my guess...lol. So no idea what actions it will or won't be capable of. Or price !

I'm a little more concerned about the visible seam on the doll - if it's merely a prototype and this will be engineered out of sight in the final model this is irrelevant, but sex is a messy and fluid-intensive sort of fun, and I don't think it would be a good idea to have the innards of the doll putting out (or worse, admitting) any fluids. could be a shock hazard at the right voltage.

It sort of looks like Catherine Tate with blonde hair.

Yes, I can definitely see that too.

Perhaps we should ask Catherine if she is "BOVERED" by it.

The creators of Roxxxy claim she can do lots of things up to carrying a conversation, but in the videos she is only sitting there. Might be a custom Realdoll without anything else for all we know.

So I wouldn't pay any money for it until there is a more meaningful demonstration.

minkwheel · Post by **minkwheel** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 4:51 pm

I'm actually WAY more impressed by AIKO and how far SHE'S gone in such a short time..... If Aiko's creator had unlimited money and assistants, imagine what could be accomplished....I actually would like to see him hired by HONDA to work on HRP-4C.....SHE'S GOING TO NEED TO DO MORE THAN WINK AND LOOK SURPRISED in the future.

Lithorien · Post by **Lithorien** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 8:22 pm

If she could actually carry a conversation, it'd be pretty cool.

As it is, I wish they were doing beta testing. I'd volunteer.

Keizo · Post by **Keizo** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 8:43 pm

I doubt that she can carry on a conversation. From the video demonstration, it seems as if all her responses were pre-recorded and only to the physical stimulation. The Actroid could reply to 4,000 questions in four languages and from various verbal dialects, but that's also ALL pre-recorded. The only interactive real-time advancement I have seen is with Le Trung and Aiko. They really need to consider contacting him since he has done more on his own than that entire team of scientists working all those years. And they really should just make a mold of a better face from a hot stripper or even off of a mannequin! I absolutely agree that porn stars are not the ideal look most men truly want as opposed to, say... a swimsuit model. Just my two cents.

I think this is the place for it. This little rubber lump* made the rounds of the late night talk show monologues. Including The Colbert Report. Clip is probably U.S. only.

*- I'm certain this will be a term of endearment in 50 years.

Heh. Didn't Colbert interview David Levy a while back, actually?

Agreed.

Keizo · Post by **Keizo** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 7:24 pm

NO, NO, NO!!! Please stop giving this any press! It makes all of us look bad. All non fembot fetishists will look at this and associate it with us and it doesn't represent us at all. It doesn't even compare to a realdoll in looks and makes us all look like desperate losers. Aiko can see and move and do so much more and her responses aren't pre-recorded. The Actroid has more pre-recorded responses than this thing and can actually move! Make it stop

ARGH! The Nightmares have returned! Get it out of my head, get it out!!!!!

I'm with Keizo let it DIE!! Hopefully it will go away.

Have you never seen Catherine Tate on the TV at all, because she looks exactly like her!

Someone should take that ugly-ass thing behind a building and put it out of its misery. Any volunteers?
