Mimoco's Infectious Design Contest Winner: GiddyUp Mimobot


We are very pleased to now offer this Mimobot USB drive featuring the amazing and intricate artwork of Hila Rosenberg Azari. The "GiddyUp" design was chosen by the Infectious online community out of 600+ entries.
GiddyUp features a delicately rendered and complex image of a girl riding a giraffe, but one of my favorite aspects of this design is how Hila worked in the shape of the Mimobot, using the "arms" as the girl's feet, and having the design wrap all around the Mimo, so that the image is equally complex and interesting from front and back.
The GiddyUp Mimobot comes preloaded with digital extras like wallpapers, icons, avatars & a screensavers.
Our order of GiddyUp Mimos will be arriving soon. You can preorder 4GB and 8GB versions now in the Mimobot section of Tenacious Toys.

Emilio Garcia 2-inch Jumping Brains in stock

Emilio Garcia's 2-inch Jumping Brain blind boxed mini figures are proving to be one of the fastest-selling releases from Toy2R in a long time! We've been rooting for Emilio for quite some time now, ever since we "met" him on Facebook. It's very satisfying to watch a new toy designer get picked up by one of the big boys and get an original toy produced! You can buy your Jumping Brain here for just $7 each.

David Horvath white flocked 5-inch "King Bossy"

No need to adjust your computer monitor; Bossy Bear just got fuzzy.
We’ve seen Bossy in pink, with a variety of expressions, even with a Santa hat on. We thought that we’d seen it all when we beheld this bear at 12 inches tall. Amazingly, though, no matter how many versions of Bossy Bear a person sees, nothing serves as adequate preparation for a version so perfect: a white flocked version with gold details.

SNEAK PEEK: Steampunk Pullip "Eos" 12-inch doll

First to be released in JUN Planning's Steampunk series of 12-inch Pullip dolls will be this amazing figure named Eos. Retail price will be somewhere around $150 and the figures will be released in July. In September the second figure, Gyro, figure will be released (Gyro's a boy). I am a 31-year-old guy and I must admit, without any shame, that I am super into these dolls. They're just really bad-ass.
