"She can't vacuum, she can't cook but she can do almost anything else if you know what I mean," TrueCompanion's Douglas Hines said of Roxxxy.
Roxxxy stands 170cm tall, weighs 54kg, "has a full C cup and is ready for action," according to Hines. The robot comes with five personalities including Wild Wendy and Frigid Farrah and costs between $7500 and $10,000 depending on features.
Roxxxy debuted at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas (where else?), and at the show, had a laptop plugged into her back. But she's also Wi-Fi capable, and her little quirks, like the way she holds your hand, can be shared with other sexbot owners through the True Companion Web site. Wi-Fi also makes Roxxxy easily upgrade-able, in case a new OS debuts, or -- shudder to think -- she catches a computer virus.
Roxxxy has attitude, with several personality types you can elicit at the touch of a button. Frigid Farrah is reserved and a bit chilly; Wild Wendy lives up to her name; S&M Susan, well, you know; and Mature Martha has that experienced thing goin' on. Owners can also change Roxxxy's hair color, cup size, race, and other characteristics until they get that perfect creature. However, you cannot take away the cold, dead stare.
But in case you think Roxxxy is all about sex her creators said that the sex aspect is mere marketing, and that Roxxxy is all about companionship. She's built with technology that allows her to carry out simple conversations. Douglas Hines, the robot's inventor, told The Telegraph that Roxxxy is much more than her blow-up predecessors. "She's a companion. She has a personality. She hears you. She listens to you. She speaks. She feels your touch. She goes to sleep. We are trying to replicate a personality of a person," Hines said. You know who else is really good at replicating people's personalities? You guessed it! Real people!
Prices will hover around $7000 to $9000, depending on the level of customization.
True Companion also has plans to create a male counterpart named Rocky. I wonder what his personality types will be, and if he can enjoy a cold Schlitz while watching the game.

Why would anyone want one. She looks like Heidi Fleiss on steroids. If I wanted some woman that looks like a man in girls panties I could just ask out the first ugly girl I see for free, either that or steal a maniquen and a drill. LMAO!
A guy would have to be pretty hard up to buy one of those. Maybe he would be better off paying money to learn some social skills.

What I need is a "do the dishes" robot.
Or a "clean the house" robot.
If you know what I mean.
When the Maid-Butler robot comes out, then I will drop 9000 $ for one for sure.
