Well, it's solar panels look like bug wings, its stereo cameras certainly resemble two eyes, and it has arms on the front... of course it's going to be anthropomorphized.
Being that the rovers are both nice looking pieces of machinery and popular, I'm surprised they don't make more & better toys and models of them. I'd have a few sitting on my desk, if I could find any decent ones.

I'm excited for the Juno mission, launching in three months. In my opinion, it's the best-looking space probe that mankind has ever built. But it'll never be anthropomorphised.
