Mitsubishi’s robotic Quasimoto, currently in development, was unveiled today a tech conference in Zurich. Quasibot will be available in Japan in 2010, and possibly ready for world tour by Spring 2011.

Kid Robot and Stones Throw have teamed up for the Quasimoto figure, which will be released February 19, 2009. The Quasimoto figure is 8-inches tall, available in equal quantities of yellow and blue, each with a brick and spliff “cigarette.”

The hip-hop artist Quasimoto (aka Lord Quas) was created by Madlib. He has released two albums, The Unseen and The Further Adventures of Lord Quas, a collection of singles, and guest appearances on albums by Madvillain and Jaylib. The Quasimoto figure is based on the character drawn by Jeff Jank. (Read: History of Lord Quas )
