Japanese Vending Machine Robot

A Coke vending machine robot walking around outside of Shibuya Station in Tokyo. The Japanese schoolgirls looked shocked, as did many other people.

It was walking around outside of Shibuya Station. I didn't try it, but I don't think the vending part worked. I think there was actually a guy inside. :-)

Seems like it'd be pretty heavy, especially if it was carrying a bunch of cokes. Also, it looks like it'd have to be a pretty tall person in there. Funny either way.

Someone sent me this YouTube link. I guess maybe it's some sort of Japanese Superhero vending machine?

A real photographer would snap a photo of the girl reaching into the vending machine's slot-thingy to get bottle. Now THAT would be funny.

Red Vending Machine Robot is pretty well known in Tokyo, especially among the Cosplay and Robot fans. You can even get Red Vending Machine Figures in the UFO Catcher (claw machines) in the game arcades. Here's the website: homepage.mac.com/shikoooooo/redhp/top.html

Hi, I'm an editor for the Spanish vending magazine hostelvending.com. The picture is sooo cool! We were wondering if you'd give us the permission to use this image for our site. Obviously, we would mention you as the author.
Thank you!
