The Tesla Bot Action Figure, a seven-inch collectible inspired by Tesla’s eagerly awaited humanoid robot, has sparked a frenzy among fans and collectors. Priced at $40, the toy sold out in less than 24 hours following its release on Saturday, according to Teslarati.
Now, those hoping to get their hands on one can only sign up for restock notifications, while resale listings on eBay are fetching prices between $130 and $1,300—substantially higher than the original price.
Described by Tesla as “Your mini autonomous assistant and humanoid friend,” the action figure boasts over 40 individual parts and 20 points of articulation, allowing it to mimic the movements and appearance of Tesla’s upcoming Gen 2 humanoid robot. The toy also comes with a charging stand and a “CyberHammer” accessory, making it an even more coveted collectible for fans.
Scaled at 1:10, the action figure represents Tesla’s vision for the full-sized humanoid robot, Optimus, which is still under development. Elon Musk first introduced the Optimus concept in 2021, and while the full-sized robot—standing at 5 feet 8 inches—is still in progress, the action figure offers a glimpse of what’s to come.
During Tesla’s July earnings call, Musk shared updates on the robot’s timeline, stating that “we expect to have several thousand Optimus robots produced and doing useful things by the end of next year in the Tesla factories.” These early models will be for internal use to address any challenges before mass production ramps up in 2026.
For now, the Tesla Bot Action Figure is serving as a playful yet tangible piece of Musk’s ambitious AI vision, blending innovation with collectibility as fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter in Tesla’s humanoid robot saga.
