Consider the ROS simulators first, and look at the platforms used in RoboCup events. There are better platforms than Talos or HECTOR around.
It can take years to get a basic bipedal platform operational, and in general it takes 3 times as long to tune the software/firmware. Unless you see actual proof of platform operation for more than a minute, than take any claims as marketing hype.
Could also try a cheap servo hexapod or turtle-bot kit first, as stable well-studied platforms are easier to code on. =3
