Little ol' me: A Japanese toy company is promising to make tailor-made robots for its customers and people who act now might have them well before Christmas.
The company, Little Island, claims it can create a tiny likeness of anyone – even replicating the sound of their voice. Customers place their €1,700 order and submit a photograph of the person they’d like their new toy to be. Six months later, and the Mini-Me will turn up on their doorstep. The dolls can then be taught to sound like the customer via voice recognition software.
