Hello Kitty robot coming to clean you with cuteness

hellokttyRmba78.jpgHello Kitty fan alert: you officially have your first full functioning Hello Kitty robot ready to hit the market. The purveyor of cute has teamed with iRobot to introduce a special Hello Kitty branded iRobot Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner. The limited edition device will only have a run of 500 units, so even at the steep price of 84,500 yen ($810), it's likely to sell out quickly. With over 3,000,000 units already sold worldwide, this latest twist could take the Roomba vac from seldom seen novelty to otaku household staple—you can pick yours up on September 30th here.

I must have this... Then again, I could just make a sticker for the one I have. However, mine doesn't have the FIVE BRUSHES.
