Robot Romance "I'm here" by Spike Jonze

I've just come across this short 30 minute film by Spike Jonze. Jonze is an idol of mine ever since I first saw the Beastie Boys 'Sabotage' and Weezer's 'Buddy Holly' music videos. He's also the main man behind TV show Jackass and full-length-feature-films 'Where the wild things are' and 'Being John Malcovich'. 

'I'm here' is about an alternative world where robots live among the rest of the human population. It has an eerie sub-context that although sometimes dark, makes you wish the world was really like this.

It's also free to watch over at imheremovie.com 

Devilrobots + Tokidoki

Just bought these two vinyl robots that I saw at the Kid Robot store in Covent Garden earlier this month. They are Astrodemonio (left by Tokidoki) and Evil King (right by Devilrobots) and are about 8-9 inches high. I got mine off eBay but you can get them straight from the PI store.

Tron Munny

I love tron and I love vinyl toys so when I got a glow in the dark do-it-yourself Munny I thought I'd combine the two. I haven't quite finished it yet, but I've done the helmet.

i-SOBOT: The robot that likes to sew?

Tomy have come a long way since the previously posted George. Meet i-SOBOT the Guiness World Record's smallest humanoid robot. I want one! (Thanks to Dan at Realmacs for the photo).

Le Dunny

I love the new French Dunny series from Kid Robot. I'm off now to get one... hope it's one of the above. [EDIT: I got the french guy with the baguette and bottle of vin! Score. I also got a DIY monkey style Dunny (Munny) which will eventually end up looking like this illustration I did for graphicinvasion]
