I think it looks just like it should. First day at the bot office, you gotta come fresh! Maybe do a second one after a few years at work with frazzled wires sticking out, and a loose tie...lol

Man, I liked this dude right away. I was gonna comment right away, that with a big head like that, he's clearly a manager. I was thinking as I watched that he needs his other arm bent up, so he can hold a coffee. You could do a few of these showing the different stages he goes though on his career. Maybe a dented one when he's closing on retirement.

He's cute! I dunno if it's just the camera, but the silver and white blend a bit. Using LEGO parts can be a mixed bag. The plastic quality and detail is great, but anyone familiar with LEGO cam spot those parts a mile off - breaks the illusion a little. I think modifying them a little can help hide that. All that said, nice build! The posable hands are a nice touch.

Yeah, the silver did blow out a little on the camera and I totally hear ya on the LEGO bits. 😀 Appreciate the feedback. Have a great one!

Great work! If this were the 80's and they started replacing people with robots I am 100% sure this is what it would have looked like. He can't move, or talk, or sit at his desk and lament not being able to go fishing, but he's well dressed, friendly looking, and a perfect replacement for the entire accounting department... but does he have to stand in the middle of the room, staring into the middle distance like that? Thanks for another awesome video!

I think it’s wonderful…I love a dusty old bot, but this is the start of its adventure into mundanity (is that a word? It is now!)…perhaps some weathering on the actual ‘bot, but not the outfit might make you accept it more…? I can imagine it after a few decades pretending to enjoy other workmate ‘bot’s dull patter and the stresses of deadlines and how it would look…lots of rust on it’s head from years of frustration for a start….lots of love from England!

I think he's pretty cool looking my friend. An office bot. Just a thought incase you haven't thought about it, I see some of you custom toy builders and kit mashers building on these round bodies and trying to fit the arms, shoulders and legs and hips to the wouldn't it be easier to do so if you had a drum sander for a drill press or even a hand drill, I know they come in different sizes seems like those would shape those parts to fit so much quicker, but maybe I am wrong. And the other thing is I would love to see you try to make a Uniblab from The Jetsons either the office one or the military version, they are basically the same just different colors, but I think if anyone could do it justice Dr. Toys could do it. 😊 👍👍👍
@DRToysCreations 2 ай бұрын
You are not wrong... I think a lot of us get cranking on a build and dont have those tools at hand so we just go with what we have. LOL Also sometime the parts are super small and a bit in a drill going a million miles and hour is super intimidating for your finger tips! 😂 But you are totally right, there are many time it could help. I love the look of the Uniblab! its definitly going in my TO DO Project List Book! Thanks.
@garzilla7123 2 ай бұрын
@@DRToysCreations That's cool was just a thought on the drum sander idea. But I am really glad you like the Uniblab idea 💡 too. Rosie would be cool too, but Uniblab is just such a piece of work and I think would just be cool. And I really you would have the perfect touch to build him. 🙂 👍👍👍

Constructive criticism - I think the arm not holding the briefcase might give an interesting look if it was bent upward at the elbow about sixty degrees across the..chest.. with the hand kind of limp-wristed or pointing at something…Possibly gripping the tie. Kind of adding to the character being either nervous or excited at the new sights on the first day.
