Tux Droid by Kysoh

Tux Droid is a Linux wireless Tux mascot (210mm x 180mm x 140mm - with lowered wings) with a programmable interface, allowing it to announce events by its gestures and by ALSA driven sound. The events are detected by specific gadgets, which are handled by the Tux Gadget Manager. The Tux Droid supports Linux kernel 2.4 or later and needs an 800 MHz CPU and 128 MB RAM. It communicates by infrared to the USB port (1.1 or 2.0) and for media detection it needs an internet connection. The mascot is driven by Atmel AVR RISC microcontrollers. The new version supports also Windows-based PCs. The Tux Droid can be used with Windows XP and Windows Vista (both at 32 Bit).

I respectfully ask that you do not quote my whole first post as I may change details within it.

I'm not aware of this item being posted anywhere else and the price is set at what I would be willing to let it go at currently.  The Tux Droid isn't a "toy" anymore, it's a collectors item.   

This item is exceptionally rare and if anyone has a used one they would be willing to trade in exchange for the new one I would knock a decent amount off the price.

It's a shame these are so rare that the price is so high, seems like a neat desktop companion.

Agreed, I really wanted to find an open box or used one to mess around with but I can't find another.

Resin figures are $10, probably dremil out a slot for a pi zero and get some similar uses.

If I had a lot of spare time this summer I would probably create him in CAD and 3D print it, maybe someone out there already created a Tux Droid STL?

An open box one is on ebay for ~$200 at the moment.
