George in Stormtrooper Disguise

I found a great toy/collectables shop in Ueno, Tokyo recently; actually it was no big feat on my part as it is 6 floors worth of collectable goodness, with a gallery space at the top. In the Star Wars section are some of the more expensive and aloof items on (or indeed off) the market. Here I fount a marvelous Star Wars figure of George Lucas in Star Wars disguise, which as you can see, is not for sale...

Japanese Android Doppelgänger (via Wired)

Hiroshi Ishiguro poses with his android clone, Geminoid HI-1. Constructed of silicone and steel and powered by pressurized air and small actuators, Ishiguro's life-size doppelgänger is uncannily realistic since it was made from casts taken from the roboticist's body. Ishiguro's android mimics the roboticist's actions, with micromovements -- such as shoulders that rise gently to simulate breathing -- making it difficult to believe Geminoid is a machine. A Geminoid operator wears motion-tracking lip markers. When the operator moves his mouth, Geminoid's lips make the same movement. A speaker inside the android lets the robotic double be heard.
