CrunchGear visits the Tsukumo Robot Kingdom in Akihabara (photo report)

It’s been over four months since I last paid a visit to a robot store in Akihabara/Tokyo, namely the Vstone flagship store. But I have to say the Tsukumo Robot Kingdom [JP] is much cooler, mainly because the shop is larger and offers more robots than its rival. The Robot Kingdom is located on the 4th floor of the Tsukumo PC Store II in central Akihabara.

Just like the Vstone store, the Tsukumo counterpart offers a plethora of different parts and bits for your robot pleasure:

The humanoid on the left costs the equivalent of $1,100, while the right one sells for $1,300:

No robot store without one of the most popular humanoids out there, Robovie-X (pictured below in the middle, price: $1,600):

The humanoid on the left costs the equivalent of $1,000, while the one on the right is priced at $1,050:

KHR-3 HV costs $1,300:

$1,100, that’s the price for this cool Hello Kitty robot:

Here’s a short video showing the store/kingdom (not made by me):
