Hi Guys,

Not sure if this is the best place to post this but here goes.

I have had this Kit unfinished for many years, so I have decided to sell it.

It is the Kyosho Manoi AT 01 Humanoid Kit Robot.

Here are some pictures from the Kyoshso Web Site, it seems it's still available as a current model.



I had thought about eBay, but none seem to come up on there, perhaps I nee to try the Japanese eBay site?

Any ideas where it might find the right audience?

Thanks in advance.

I never did get around to selling this.

Perhaps as we are all stuck at home I should get him out and have a good reassemble to get him working again!

Will do my best.

The issue when I tried to program it last time was the poor English in the software and manual.

There is a more updated English version now, and I think there is also a better version of the control board.

It might be time for a control board upgrade.

It looks way beyond me! I'm currently struggling with a 1/35 Tiger, the thought of control boards and software makes me run to the hills!

It was one of the main issues to be honest!

I think most of the problems were because the manual and software was converted from Japanese to English very poorly.

The build itself was actually very enjoyable, mostly because it was quite unique but also because it felt like you were building a little person, ie the model started to take on a persona.

I think I am going to get it down from the loft today to take a few pictures to see what I can get him up too!

Also it seems there is a new version of the control board available too now, which might make programming him a bit easier.

The Manoi was based on the Kondo mechanics and control boards, and a new version of the Kondo is now available.

As always most of it is in Japanese, but I think I did find that the new control board could be bought on its own for about £130.

Yep seems the new control board is also available in a smaller form for about £80 inc shipping.

Might be worth a punt?
