Sony’s Aibo robot dog is getting a new colorway and a price hike.

The new Aibo Kinako Edition is the first to feature a two-tone finish on its face and will include two new eye color options.

It will be officially available starting tomorrow in Japan, but Sony has also announced a ¥55,000 (about $374) price increase for its already pricey robot dog, citing the rising costs of raw materials.
