Department store chain operator Sogo & Seibu Co. said Friday it will offer two robots made to look like the people who buy them as a special sales event for the new year.
The look-alike robots, which will be produced by robot maker Kokoro Co., will sell for ¥20.1 million each, Sogo & Seibu said.
The robots are made of silicone and can move the upper half of their body.
Sogo & Seibu will accept orders at most of its 28 outlets for two days starting Jan. 2, and for three days from New Year's Day at the others. If there are three or more orders, buyers will be chosen by lot.
