What about a 790 toy?

Have it say stuff like…
“Go ahead, kill yourself, see if i care”
“Put me down your heathen!”
“I dont care, and to prove it, please shoot yourself immediatly”
“Shake your lilly white ass for me!”
“Cram it needledick!”
“Was I talking to you?”Or you can just have it fall in love with you and totally kiss your ass all day long, but to be honest, i prefer to have an abusive 790 toy. 30$ American? Id pay for that. The non-abusive 790 would sell well on Valentines day.

THAT IS A GREAT IDEA!
However, I think something like that would sell for no less than $50(US), if it were mass-produced. But I doubt that it would be mass-produced. I can see how it might be custom-built for expensive collectors. Kind of like those custom-made realistic-looking light sabers that I’ve seen in the past. But a complete b@stard robot head would be alot more fun.
First of all, I say it should have personality settings: Kai, Zev/Xev, and “you”.
It should also have a few talk buttons such as Worship, Insult, Joy, and Despair. Each talk button would have a set of randomly played messages based on each personality setting.
The switches and buttons should be placed on the bottom of the back of the head so they can be accessed when you hold it in your arm or when you place it on a table.
It would be REALLY cool if you could hook it up to a computer network and reprogram it.
Oh boy, I really love this idea the more I think about it! I’m starting to think about how I could build one myself! It might be possible to sample 790’s voice from all the episodes, but it would be much better to have Jeffrey Hirschfield do the voices and the lips specially for the toy.
I really do think that such a toy could be possible. It might have to be a “kit” that you would have to assemble (laptop computer not included). If the screen from a laptop computer was detached, it could be installed under the surface of the face. Only parts of the screen would be visible through the mouth and eye sockets. The motherboard, CPU, and hard drive of the toy could easily fit inside the head’s casing.
So let’s take inventory of such a kit:
* 2 or 3 plastic and/or metal moulded casing pieces
* small stereo speakers with standard plug for connection to laptop CPU
* parts for panel of switches and buttons that connect to the parallel port(?) of the laptop CPU
* CD-ROM with 790 program, animation, sound samples, and instruction manual
I don’t know much about programming or engineering, but I think that such a kit might be easy enough for me to assemble. Granted that I have good instructions!
I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!
