Quick! Who was a fully functional, anatomically correct android long before a former cop named Gene Roddenberry came up with a series called Star Trek?

Right! It's R. Daneel Olivaw, who is the most commonly appearing character of the most prolific writer, Issac Asimov. (He was also the original Robocop, when you think about it.)

To learn more, I recommend the Robot Trilogy (The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, The Robots of Dawn, and Robots and Empire) and the Foundation Series (in chronological order: Prelude to Foundation, Forward the Foundation, Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation, Foundation's Edge, Foundation and Earth).

This plushie was made as a prize donation to

Specifications:

R. Daneel "stands" approximately 16" tall. Materials used include Loops and Threads Impeccable in aran; Caron Simply Soft in ocean, soft white, and sunshine; Red Heart Soft Yarn in toast; buttons and tulip paint.

Reference used was a paperback cover of Caves of Steel: [link]

And of course (c) to Asimov. Duh.
