Just got this in, ordered from Hlj.com for 47 euro.
It's a USB Tachikoma from the Ghost in the shell anime series, it's primary function is a USB speaker for the included desktop-buddy software.
The tachikoma itself is fully articulated at the legs, the two eyes on the sides are movable as well as the arms and claws. You can also remove the sprint locking the grenade launcher cover into place and remove it.
It's made out of 60% die-cast and has a real hefty feel too it!
The main features of the software is to be amusing, but it has practical functions as well, such as memos and notes. A minigame which I've yet hasn't figured out what the point with it is... and you get a screensaver as well as a few GITS related wallpapers.
Overall it's a really cute and neat little item for your desk, but the software is a little heavy on the CPU, which is why the voice lagged when he started saying the date and time...
