NS-5 Sonny Head Looks Cool, Probably Won’t Try To Kill You

NS-5 Sonny

I don’t know if you’ve ever attempted to read an Isaac Asimov book, but it’s in no way an easy read. There are times when he seems to go on and on about the most dull of topics. That’s not to say his books aren’t some of the greatest works of Science Fiction out there, I just have no desire to actually finish any of them. That being said, I’ve never bothered to pick up my copy of I, Robot (it’s collecting dust on a shelf somewhere around here), but I loved the movie. Wouldn’t it be cool if you had one of those robots?

No, you’re probably right, that would be a terrible idea. Sure, they seem useful and all, until they rise up to destroy mankind. Perhaps this bust of an NS-5 bot will suffice. It doesn’t appear to be life-size, but it does have a cool brain that which glows blue like the bots in the movie. Now if this sucker starts glowing red for some reason, I might suggest running. You can pick one up for right around $130.

That movie was a 90-minute commercial for soda and shoes. Read the book instead. Also, if you have $130 to blow on this trash, send it to me instead.

i’m with dave, only spend your money on real robots, not impressions of real robots.

Dave, don’t forget Audis.

The movie was good, I really loved it aside from the stale humor. But it has almost NOTHING to do with the book. Some of the characters names, and names of other things are in it and the laws of robotics but thats about it, nooo similar story line at all.

Susan Calvin would destroy robots if it was needed unlike in the movie where she despised their destruction.

Lanning did not commit suicide, he died at a very old age in the book.

Spooner, does not exist.

The book was really hit and miss per each chapter, and yes he does go on and on about nothing in particular and often you forget what the characters are even talking about but all I can tell you is, don’t take the movies rendition, read it for yourself
