Humanoid robots you can reserve or buy (Oct 2026)
Comparative review — desk research, not hands-on. Prices and specs are from maker pages and maker press as of Oct 27, 2026. Missing fields are marked UNKNOWN. No Amazon links (no verified consumer ASINs for these models).
The short version
A few humanoids finally have a real price and a deposit or buy button. Most still do not. Use this table to sort “I can put money down” from “cool demo, no checkout.”

How to choose in one minute
- Learn embodied AI on a budget → FF Nova.
- Full-size platform you can buy now → Unitree G1 (or H2 if you need the taller model).
- Home chores, deposit now → 1X NEO (Preview — delivery date still soft).
- Companion / conversation, 2027 → Realbotix Echo.
- Famous name, no checkout → Figure / Optimus — track news, don’t expect a ship date you can calendar yet.
What we will not do
- Invent Amazon ASINs or “in stock” claims.
- Treat maker ship windows as guaranteed doorstep dates.
- Call upper-body companions “walking humanoids” when the maker does not.
