There is certainly interest in these plush robots. The company tested the market via a Kickstarter campaign. It raised a little more than 60 000 dollars proving it more than successful. So currently TROBOs are being completed and are set to debut by the end of this year at the latest. Naturally people who ordered the toys through the Kickstarter campaign will get them first.
Then TROBOs will come to the market. They are designed to be both companions and teachers to the kids. According to their makers, the plush robots are suitable for children ages 2 to 7. But we all know that age is not the deciding factor in a plush toy. So if you want to get a TROBO for you collection, you can do so.
