Going the Murata Boy Robot One Better (Video)

Taking their inspiration from the famous 'Murata Boy' robot that rides a bicycle, these craftsmen created a cool cycling female character right out of anime. Check out the video below that features one of the Murata Boy television commercials followed by a detailed, step-by-step documentary covering the construction of their robot clone. Sorry, it's not in English, but you should be able to follow the action easily anyway.

The pedalling movement on the legs looks fantastic!

Cool! I like that the figure isn't firmly secured to the seat, because it allows it to rock side to side a little as it pedals. That makes the movements look really great!
