While this gift may be a bit big for a Christmas stocking, the life-size Robby the Robot replica could certainly work as a stand-in for your tree. Standing over 7 feet tall, this is a special edition, fully animatronic remote-controlled version of Robby, the robot from the 1956 film Forbidden Planet. Exclusive to Hammacher Schlemmer, putting this little baby “under the tree” will set you back $50,000. True, you could buy a new car for much less than that, but really, who would want a car when they could put a talking robot in their game room?
