Title and description are misleading, even the page the guy made for it is pretty misleading. The "robot" doesn't actually work yet, he has no idea if it ever will. Saying the legs move with drills, etc. is totally inaccurate because he hasn't actually gotten that far with it yet.Sure, it looks cool, but calling it an android or robot at this point is a bit of a stretch. If he completes it and it works, then I will be impressed.

I used to get it at San Mateo Toy & Hobby. I played around with it back in the '80s. It doesn't adhere very well, as I remember; surface is smoothe so you have to rough it up with sandpaper to get anything to stick to it.Anyway, found it on Costumes4Less.com and Amazon.
