Rick and Morty Butter-Robot Comes to Life from Digital Dream Labs
From the hit Adult Swim animated series, Rick and Morty, fans can now bring home the iconic Butter Robot, as seen in season 1. Adult Swim and Digital Dream Labs have teamed up to bring this depressing and butter passing robot to life. Coming straight from the Citadel of Ricks, the Butter Robot like you have never seen him before with the sole purpose of passing you butter and sass. The Butter Robot will feature connectivity to a mobile app that will allow fans even more fun with this Rick and Morty collectible. Fans can hear Butter Robot's iconic voice as it interacts with the surroundings around him. This "self-aware" robot will also react to its environment and can adapt to its situations and even possibly denying your commands. The Rick and Morty Butter Robot is a hilarious joke that can be yours with his very limited edition collectible figure that will not be sold in stores.
The Rick and Morty Butter Robot will be priced at $147 and is expected to serve you butter in May. The robot will feature a variety of mobile app commands that will enhance the collectability and playtime of this Rick and Morty collectible. From passing the butter, lifting objects, to possibly wanting to self-destruct itself (very, very unlikely), this is the robot for you. Adult Swim did release an unboxing video of the prototype robot featuring the co-creator of Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland, giving his wise word to fans about the bot. Fans can check out the unboxing video below, and collectors can pre-order their own Butter Robot here.
