Rogun is a robot built to identify faces, alert owners to intruders via cellphone, and entertain. KornTech, a Korean venture company, has designed this robot to be for the whole family.

For the adults, Rogun gives assistance to protection of the home, the ability to have a video conference (wi-fi) through the screen on his torso, but most importantly its like a babysitter to the kids. Now there are a lot of things wrong with this robot babysitting your kids. For one, some people just don’t trust robots. For two, kids tend to push things to their limits and this robot appears to be pretty fragile. Though it does have a 7-inch LCD screen on it’s stomach, this robot is far too expensive to be babysitting. Keeping in mind its security system, we say it would be worth it if it wasn’t so expensive. What almost seems to be a Dr. Evil scam, KornTech’s Rogun is going for $1 million each.

Rogun: Fun For The Whole Family

During their visit to the 2010 Nuremberg Toy Fair/a>, the guys over at Hobby Media/a> snapped this pic of some awesome new LEGO Star Wars minifig alarm clocks.

Each 8-inch tall maxi/minifig sits on your bedside table, and includes an oversize LCD alarm clock in its squared-off chest. I can’t decide if I’d want the Stormtrooper or Anakin to wake me up every morning. I love the hand detail on Anakin/Darth. Very clever. The only thing it’s missing is a LEGO lightsaber. I guess you could try and stick one of these/a> in his hand.

No word on when or where these will turn up, but I’m sure you’ll be able to find them in a galaxy far, far away sometime later this year.
