I really like the idea of a Millenium robot. Something like the morphing fantasy suit method of changing parts. A face that can be morphed for expression. The characters that seem to grab everyone attention are the ones that can convey emotion in some way. Most of the 'bot stuff is done for comedy. The mouse goes for warm and fuzzy, with a little gentle humor thrown in. My favorite non-human character is still Curio's Ragbash, becasue he can convey so much emotion. I'd love to see more and varied animals, but I want the same range of expression. A cat doesn't have a lot of face poses isn't much better than anything we've got now. Although I'd really rather have a good set of dogs. And I'd kill for a Hobbit based on either Mike or the Millenium kids.
