Earlier today (5th August), Redmi officially shared a new video on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, in which it dismantled 3 K40 Game Editions to build something quite unique. The company used the parts from these devices to build a Mecha Fighter styled after the popular Chinese actor Wang Yibo.

For those unaware, Wang Yibo is also the Chinese smartphone maker’s brand ambassador. In the social media post, the company said that it took 90 days to recreate this Mecha Fighter model that was built by salvaging the 3 smartphones. Furthermore, Redmi had to reorganize and assemble over 600 parts from these phones to create this Mecha Fighter as a birthday gift to Wang Yibo.

Looking at the video, we can observe the devices’ were dismantled by hand while the brand even uses 3D printing technology to create a realistic mold of Wang Yibo’s face; or rather half of it, as the brand sought to create a look which was quite similar to the Arnold Schwarzenegger’s iconic Terminator. In other words, while one half of the face is just the mold, the other half contains various parts of the K40 Game Edition phones to showcase a robotic skeleton underneath the “skin.” The various internal components extend to the neck and a bit lower as well.
