I'm not sure all the pieces have been released yet so I don't think there's any footage of his completely assembled quite yet

True, the video goes up to #59, and there will be 70 installments.

According to the page on Astro in the first issue of the Robi magazine (posted on the links given earlier) Astro is 135cm tall (about 53 inches) and weighs 30kg (66 lbs). The article has his birth date as July 4, 2003 which is not the generally accepted month of April.

Here's a slightly cheaper (!) version of the Darwin-OP robot I linked to in my first post:

This one is "only" $500 (instead of $12,000!) (Robi costs about $1800 spread out over about a year or so).

Note that Darwin-Mini also goes to the same hair dresser! These cute robots just HAVE to have spiked hair!

Robi's facebook page posting with lots of pictures!

There are various pictures of him constructed in various colored plastic parts. Now if he had the red feet and lower legs, black upper legs and the green torso, plus pinkish chest and face ...
That's how I'd want to custom order him!

I think people have just been painting there robis

Maybe, but the version that was sent to the ISS did have the red boots!
Some of the colored shots look like they were photoshopped anyway.
