LEGO has launched a new set based on the debut of The Fantastic Four in the MCU. It's HERBIE, a robot with 747 pieces and a height of 22 centimeters. The model is designed as an articulated figure that works both for play and display, occupying a middle ground between collector sets and simpler ones.
Articulation and mechanics: the technical details of the assistant robot 🤖
HERBIE features arms and fingers with a high range of motion, allowing it to hold its accessories: a coffee cup and a screwdriver. Its head is movable, and when turned, the reel-to-reel eyes rotate synchronously. This interactive feature adds play value without the need for electronics. The model's structure allows it to be posed in various stances, although its base of support is limited for certain balances.
The robot that stares at you while you drink coffee (and fixes your furniture) ☕
LEGO brings us the perfect assistant: it brings you coffee, fixes things, and stares at you when you turn its head. The only downside is that it doesn't come with a real coffee cup or a working screwdriver. But hey, if you had any doubts about whether a robot with reel-to-reel eyes can be a good office companion, this HERBIE will prove to you that it can, as long as you don't expect it to wave back.
