The [Pentax](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentax-17) K-r Kore Janai Robo Model DSLR looks like a camera that will rule all cameras. Yes, it's a bit on the childish side, but the crown-like detail adorning its head adds a touch of majesty that is very grown up.

Overall, this [special edition Pentax](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/z-fc) K-r Kore Janai Robo Model is pretty awesome. Designed by Tokyo-based creative agency ZariganiWorks, only 100 were manufactured, making it the perfect [unique Christmas gift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-snap-custom-edition).
