Vimobots, Mimobots, Oh My!

Toys , toys, toys. I can't get enough of them. I am an obsessive collector of things (read: packrat) and am always looking for that next have-to-have-on-my -shelf-taking-up-room item. The vinyl toy industry has really boomed in the last several years and has become quite the darling of the art world. Beginning with Munny, the little bear-monkey looking thing, companies have begun selling blank vinyl toys that can then be painted as the owner desires. Custom artists have then taken on the painting of these toys with some of them selling for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. For me though, I like to stick with cheap because I am a blogger and by definition am poor as dirt.

Enter the Vimobots. Affordable little vinyl toys that stand about 4" tall and come in a variety of style. As is popular in the budget vinyl toy market, vimobots come packaged so you don't know which one you will actually get and there are rare ones included as well. So what could make Vimobots even better? If they actually did something besides looking cool!

Presenting the Mimobots! The Mimobots are not just custom vinyl toys, they are also snazzy 1GB - 4GB Flash drives to hold all your precious information in one custom designed package. The range of designs is amazing and includes sets from Star Wars, Halo, Happy Tree Friends and a designer artist series. A 1Gb drive will cost you $49.95 with the 2GB and 4GB costing $69.95 and $109.95 respectively. For a wee bit more you can even order your Vimobot with a little keychain/ziperpull attachment so you can carry your little information packed friend with you wherever you go. It's the perfect stocking stuffer for that techie in your life who has a sense of humor and like their peripherals with a little flair.
